Arizona Department Of Health Services

Arizona Department of Health Services, doing business as H S A, is a state government entity that operates as a prime federal contractor delivering public health services, regulatory inspection, laboratory testing, vital statistics data collection, and disease surveillance and prevention programs to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis. ADHS operates under the parent State of Arizona and is headquartered at 150 North 18th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85007.

ADHS's federal footprint spans 935 prime and sub awards across 66 customer agencies, with the vast majority (96%) awarded as prime contracts and grants. Capability work centers on human food and tobacco retail inspections, newborn screening and laboratory testing, vital statistics data collection and reporting, disease prevention and health surveillance, maternal and child health home visiting programs, WIC administration and nutrition services, emergency preparedness and response, environmental health assessment, and immunization and sexually transmitted infection prevention. Recent contract examples include a $560.9 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract with the Food and Drug Administration for human food inspections in Arizona awarded September 30, 2026, with completion through September 29, 2031; a $650.9 thousand cost-no-fee delivery order from FDA for tobacco retail inspections under the Arizona Compliance and Enforcement Tobacco Retail Inspection IDIQ, awarded May 30, 2026, with completion May 29, 2027; and a $227.9 thousand purchase order from the Indian Health Service for newborn screen-testing services in Chinle, Arizona, awarded September 1, 2026, with completion August 31, 2027.

Customer concentration reflects broad federal agency engagement in health-related missions. The top five funding agencies by award count—Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (114 awards), CDC (103 awards), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (60 awards), Health Resources and Services Administration (57 awards), and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (48 awards)—account for 41% of total awards. By combined potential value, concentration is tighter: CDC Pittsburgh leads with 30 awards worth $16.6 million, followed by the Social Security Administration ($14.1 million across 26 awards), FDA ($12.8 million across 26 awards), CDC Office of Acquisition Services ($12.4 million across 17 awards), and Indian Health Service ($835 thousand across 14 awards), together representing 88% of combined potential value.

ADHS holds two single-award IDIQs—the FDA's Arizona Compliance and Enforcement Tobacco Retail Inspection IDIQ ($4.25 million ceiling, award date September 13, 2024, completion September 29, 2029) and the CDC's NCHS Vital Statistics Cooperative Program IDIQ ($4.24 million ceiling, award date January 21, 2022, completion April 30, 2027)—anchoring ongoing delivery order work. Five additional parent vehicles (Basic Ordering Agreements and other Indefinite Delivery Contracts with HHS and Social Security Administration) support 36 cumulative task orders valued at $7.5 million.

Recent grant activity is substantial and concentrated in maternal and child health, nutrition, disease prevention, and emergency preparedness. ADHS is the recipient of the $114.9 million WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children food expense award (CFDA 10.557, October 1, 2025, September 30, 2026), $48.97 million WIC admin expenses (same CFDA, same award period), $18.76 million Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.994, October 1, 2025, September 30, 2027), $26.7 million Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program grant (CFDA 93.870, September 30, 2025, September 29, 2027), and multiple cooperative agreements for disease surveillance, injury prevention, emergency preparedness, and opioid response from CDC and HRSA. ADHS also administers sub-grant awards: the entity passed through Child Care and Development Fund grants to the Arizona Department of Economic Security and distributed Rural Health Transformation Program funding under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System as the administrator.

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years (34 awards in 2022, declining to 10 recorded in 2026 year-to-date), with 44 awards (combined potential value $3.6 million) scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. SCI-reportable federal service contract invoicing totaled $1.2 million in FY2024 (10.8 FTEs), with median government-paid rates around $51.80 per hour; no sub-engagement appears on SCI-reportable service contracts. ADHS operates as a direct performer on its federal contracts and grants without significant subcontractor involvement on service work, making the organization a federal service provider rather than a pass-through vehicle for subs.
