Government Of Guam- Department Of Administration

Government Of Guam - Department Of Administration Bureau Of Statistics And Plans Division operates as a territorial government entity and prime recipient of federal grants across a broad portfolio of social services, infrastructure, and public administration programs, with 2,735 prime awards (99% of recent activity) concentrated in formula and block grants rather than competitive procurement. The entity is a U.S. local government structure with no SBA certifications and competes in full-and-open (non-set-aside) grant channels exclusively, functioning as Guam's designated state agency equivalent for federal entitlements and territorial programs.

The Bureau's capability footprint centers on administering federal grant programs on behalf of Guam's population of approximately 170,000 residents. Recent work includes managing Medicaid entitlements totaling over $400 million annually (CFDA 93.778, multiple quarterly awards of $12 million to $421 million each), administering the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant ($8.6 million, CFDA 93.558), distributing Child Care and Development Block Grants ($45 million, CFDA 93.575), and overseeing the Children's Health Insurance Program ($35.6 million, CFDA 93.767). The Bureau also administers workforce development grants including the Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser program ($314 thousand, CFDA 17.207) and Senior Community Service Employment Program ($987 thousand, CFDA 17.235). Infrastructure and economic development work includes Federal Highway Administration awards for islandwide transportation projects ($14.7 million for Route 10 safety improvements, multiple disaster recovery projects for typhoon damage repairs), Department of Interior Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories grants ($2.5 million for educational programs, $828 thousand for recreational facilities), and NOAA coastal zone management funding ($1.122 million for coastal conservation and planning, CFDA 11.419).

Customer concentration is extreme and structured by statutory formula: the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) systems dominate by dollar value—Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (Medicaid entitlements), Administration for Children and Families (TANF, child care, child support), Administration for Community Living (Older Americans Act programs)—while the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration leads by award count (807 awards) with smaller per-award values. The Department of the Interior (Insular Affairs) places 284 awards supporting territorial infrastructure and development. No single customer concentration threshold is meaningful here because the Bureau functions as the territorial pass-through entity for federal entitlements; these are not competitive wins but statutory allocations to Guam's government. The top five customers by award count account for 52% of all awards; by potential value, HHS dominates but represents distribution across dozens of distinct programs rather than portfolio concentration.

The Bureau holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with CDC Pittsburgh (NCHS Vital Statistics Cooperative Program, $2.25 million ceiling, ultimate completion April 30, 2027) but does not occupy seats on GSA Schedules, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs in the competitive sense. Instead, it receives direct awards and formula allocations from federal agencies based on territorial status and statutory entitlements. The Bureau acts as prime recipient on the vast majority of grants and administers numerous subawards—for example, distributing Child Care and Development Block Grant funds to the Guam Behavioral Health & Wellness Center and managing subrecipient arrangements with National Fish and Wildlife Foundation projects for invasive species eradication, coral reef restoration, and native habitat recovery across Guam.

Recent grant activity spans health and human services (Medicaid, CHIP, TANF, LIHEAP, substance abuse prevention, aging services), transportation infrastructure (highway planning and construction, bridge inspection, traffic safety), workforce and employment services, child care and development, emergency management (hospital preparedness, PREA compliance for corrections facilities), environmental and natural resource conservation (coral reef conservation, invasive species management, forest health, watershed protection under USDA NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Program totaling $2.07 million across two awards), education and youth development (AmeriCorps State and National funding of $4.769 million, summer youth employment programs, paramedic training), and community development (rural utilities, outdoor recreation facility development under Land and Water Conservation Fund, emergency disaster relief). Awards span performance periods typically of 12 months (formula allocations) to five years (project grants), with most Medicaid and TANF awards recurring annually on October 1.

The Bureau's role is fundamentally administrative and pass-through rather than operational delivery on most programs. It serves as the State Unit on Aging (equivalent), designated state agency for vocational rehabilitation, highway safety office, coastal zone management program lead, and administering agency for federal entitlements and block grants. Corporate structure includes subsidiary relationships with the Office of the Attorney General, Guam Fire Department, and Office of Public Accountability, though awards are directed to the Bureau itself rather than to operating departments. The Bureau coordinates with multiple territorial government entities—Department of Public Works (highways, emergency watershed protection), Department of Education (school drainage systems, culinary arts center expansion), Department of Youth Affairs (summer employment, workforce programs), Department of Agriculture (invasive species, forestry, specialty crops), Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (healthcare infrastructure and training), and Guam Community College (paramedic training, procurement bootcamp)—typically serving as the prime recipient while subrecipient departments execute program activities.

No federal contract prime awardees are listed; the entity's footprint is entirely grant-based. Recent recompete exposure within the next 24 months is minimal (96 awards with completion dates through October 2027, combined potential value of approximately $51 thousand). The Bureau does not maintain significant teaming relationships with private contractors on the grant side; instead, it functions as a government administrator managing federal resources on behalf of the territory. Award activity has remained steady to growing over the past five years (92 to 130 awards annually), reflecting consistent federal entitlement allocations and periodic discretionary grant awards from the Office of Insular Affairs and other federal agencies supporting territorial development and service delivery capacity.
