Oklahoma State Department Of Health

Oklahoma State Department Of Health operates as a state government entity providing federal health program administration, vital statistics data collection and management, nutrition assistance program oversight, and disease surveillance and prevention services to federal agencies as the prime recipient across 630 federal awards totaling $30.3 million in combined potential value. The department competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-asides, reflecting its statutory role as Oklahoma's official public health agency.

The department's capability portfolio centers on vital statistics infrastructure, particularly birth and death certificate data collection and analysis supporting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. OSDH holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with CDC valued at $3.195 million through April 2027 under the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program, with delivery orders consistently valued at $239,064 and performance extending through May 2027. The department also manages the National Death Index program, delivering multiple purchase orders to CDC for NDI data collection and maintenance—awards ranging from $29,232 to $49,850 supporting surveillance infrastructure through 2026 and 2027. Additional vital statistics work includes a $1.746 million Social Security Administration Electronic Death Records contract running through December 2028, covering death records processing for 54 states and jurisdictions.

OSDH's customer concentration reflects its role as a state health agency serving federal health and nutrition programs. CDC Pittsburgh accounts for $11.2 million across 36 awards; the Social Security Administration carries $8.6 million across 29 awards; and CDC's Office of Acquisition Services holds $5.8 million across 10 awards. The top five funding agencies cover 40% of awards by count. Beyond vital statistics, the department receives substantial federal grant funding: a $893.9 million five-year Rural Health Transformation Program cooperative agreement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (awarded December 2025, performance through October 2030) supporting healthcare delivery system transformation across Oklahoma's rural regions; $46.4 million in WIC food expense grants from USDA Food and Nutrition Service (October 2025 through September 2026); $24.37 million in WIC administrative expenses under the same program; and $11.77 million for Maternal and Child Health Services from HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau. The WIC program alone represents approximately $22.7 million annually across multiple funding lines including food, administrative expenses, and breastfeeding peer counselor services, distributed to six sub-recipient local WIC service delivery organizations.

OSDH's activity shows steady annual volume: 18 awards in 2022, 23 in 2023, 25 in 2024, and 18 through June 2025, with three awards recorded in 2026 to date. The department holds multiple single-award and basic ordering agreement vehicles: an Indian Health Service single-award BPA for metabolic newborn screening services (ceiling $250,000, through January 2029); CDC's single-award VSCP indefinite delivery contract; and Basic Ordering Agreement HHSD200201250836I carrying nine task orders worth $1.4 million combined. Top parent vehicles include two SSA indefinite delivery contracts (SS000860054 with 8 task orders valued at $791 thousand, and SS001260045 with 7 task orders at $691 thousand) for enumeration and death records programs.
