Indiana Department Of Health

Indiana Department Of Health, a U.S. state government entity and recipient of federal grants administered by the State of Indiana, provides vital statistics and public health surveillance services, laboratory diagnostics for food and water safety, nutrition assistance program administration, maternal and child health services, and disease prevention and control capacity to multiple federal agencies as a prime recipient (99% of recent awards). The department operates without SBA designations and competes on a full-and-open basis against other state agencies and non-profits.

The department's customer concentration reflects its role as Indiana's state health agency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC Pittsburgh and Office of Acquisition Services combined) anchors the portfolio with 49 awards and $27.4 million in combined potential value, primarily for vital statistics data collection, viral pathogen diagnostics, and disease surveillance including HIV/AIDS monitoring, TB control, and emerging infectious disease epidemiology. The Social Security Administration places 28 awards valued at $14.1 million, focused on enumeration-at-birth records, electronic death records digitization, and National Death Index maintenance—leveraging the department's vital records administration expertise. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (USDA FNS) holds 104 awards in formula grants funding the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), and related nutrition initiatives. The Food and Drug Administration contributes 19 awards ($2.4 million) for human food inspections and laboratory flexible funding supporting food safety testing across microbiology, chemistry, and radiochemistry disciplines. These four agencies account for approximately 85% of combined potential value.

Recent representative work includes a $2.8 million Social Security Administration purchase order for Enumeration at Birth and race-ethnicity records services (awarded June 29, 2024, extending through June 28, 2029); a $37.5 million HRSA Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant (MIECHV, September 30, 2025–September 29, 2027) serving 1,808 at-risk families through Healthy Families Indiana and Nurse-Family Partnership models; a $24.4 million HRSA Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2027) supporting direct medical services, enabling services including family care coordination, and population-based maternal mortality reduction initiatives; a $93.6 million USDA WIC food expenses formula grant (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026) distributed to local WIC agencies; and a $920,000 FDA cooperative agreement under the Laboratory Flexible Funding Model (September 20, 2025–June 30, 2030) for comprehensive food safety testing through the department's multidisciplinary laboratory network, with AB Sciex LLC serving as a sub-awardee providing advanced analytical instrumentation.

The department holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with CDC Pittsburgh (awarded January 25, 2022, ceiling $3.85 million, ultimate completion April 30, 2027) for viral special pathogens diagnostic capabilities and the National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics Cooperative Program; delivery orders under this IDC include $370,836 firm fixed-price awards for diagnostic testing and vital statistics work. Activity runs at approximately 30–38 awards annually over the past five years, with 55 awards (combined potential value $705 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete.

The portfolio splits 99% prime and 1% sub-award (7 sub-awards identified), with recent sub-recipients including Goodwill Industries of Michiana Inc. (home visiting services under MIECHV), Community Solutions Inc. (farm to school program development), and AB Sciex LLC (laboratory instrumentation services). Place of performance concentrates in Indianapolis, Indiana (administrative and program headquarters) and subordinate locations including Durham, North Carolina (vital statistics work) and distributed county-level sites across Indiana for WIC, maternal health, and disease prevention delivery.

The department's capability portfolio centers on formula grant administration and direct service delivery in nutrition assistance, maternal and child health, vital statistics and death records management, communicable disease surveillance and laboratory diagnostics (viral pathogens, food microbiology, chemistry analysis), public health emergency preparedness, and population health surveillance programs including behavioral risk factor monitoring, cancer prevention and control, immunization, HIV/AIDS response, and injury prevention. No federal contract vehicles or GSA schedules are held; work flows through direct grants from HHS, USDA, CDC, FDA, Social Security Administration, and EPA, supplemented by state-level cooperative agreements and memoranda of understanding.
