Human Affairs Commission South Carolina

Human Affairs Commission South Carolina is a U.S. state government entity and child agency of the State of South Carolina that delivers fair employment practices and fair housing investigation services to federal agencies as a prime recipient or contractor, operating without set-aside designation. The agency is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, and specializes in employment discrimination complaint investigation and fair housing assistance under primary NAICS categories of Human Rights Organizations and Other General Government Support.

The agency operates exclusively as a prime recipient or contractor with no subcontract footprint. Its customer base is highly concentrated across two federal agencies: the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accounts for 10 awards with $14.5 million combined potential value, while the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity accounts for 27 awards. These two customers represent 74% of all awards and 80% of combined potential value, with the HUD portfolio dominated by Fair Housing Assistance Program (CFDA number not specified in source) cooperative agreements. Recent EEOC contracts include a $1,282,275 Firm Fixed Price definitive contract for Fair Employment Practices Agency services running from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2025, and a $480,000 Firm Fixed Price definitive contract awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. The HUD grant work consists of recurring cooperative agreements under the Fair Housing Assistance Program State and Local initiative, with awards issued annually in October and July cycles between 2021 and 2023.

Activity has declined significantly from a peak of seven awards in 2020 to only one award in 2025, with a combined potential value of $18 million against $20 million obligated across the full award portfolio. A single $480,000 EEOC contract reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing the agency's only identified recompete exposure in that window. The agency's work focuses on discrimination complaint investigation, fair housing education and outreach, and enforcement of fair housing and employment discrimination laws within South Carolina's regional jurisdiction, serving as an established FEPA service provider for the EEOC's multi-year operational continuity.
