Indiana Department Of Health

Indiana Department Of Health, a U.S. state government entity and division of the State of Indiana, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering public health services, vital statistics support, food safety inspections, and nutrition assistance program administration to multiple federal agencies. The department does not hold federal contracts as a prime contractor but receives definitive contracts and purchase orders directly from CDC and FDA for specialized laboratory and inspection work; it operates entirely within the full-and-open, non-set-aside space and does not pursue small business designations.

IDOH's federal footprint concentrates heavily on grants rather than contracts. The department acts as prime recipient on approximately 848 awards (99% of its portfolio) spanning public health surveillance, maternal and child health services, food and nutrition programs, emergency preparedness, disease prevention, and vital records administration. Across the past five years, IDOH sustained a stable cadence—33 to 38 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, declining slightly to 31 in 2025—with a combined potential value of $52 million and $4.95 billion in obligated dollars across all sources, reflecting the heavy concentration of large formula grant awards in nutrition and health programs.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, with CDC Pittsburgh anchoring the contract work. CDC Pittsburgh holds 38 awards valued at $15.5 million in combined potential value, driven by recurring delivery orders under a single-award indefinite delivery contract (CDC award HHSD200201250814I with ceiling $3.854 million, awarded January 25, 2022, expiring April 30, 2027) for viral special pathogens diagnostic capabilities and National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics Cooperative Program support. Work is performed in Indianapolis and Durham, North Carolina. The Social Security Administration accounts for 28 awards totaling $14.1 million, primarily purchase orders for enumeration-at-birth services, electronic death registration, and National Death Index operations. FDA holds 20 awards worth $2.7 million for human food inspections and laboratory flexible funding model support under cooperative agreements and definitive contracts. USDA Food and Nutrition Service carries 104 awards—the largest count by far—spanning WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program administration, TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), Commodity Supplemental Food Program, senior nutrition, and farm-to-school initiatives.

Capability framing reflects IDOH's role as a state health agency executing federal programs. The department operates multidisciplinary laboratory networks delivering food microbiology, chemistry, and radiochemistry testing for FDA food safety surveillance; conducts human food inspections for FDA compliance; administers vital statistics data collection and National Death Index operations for CDC and SSA; manages WIC and related nutrition assistance distribution across 95 local health departments and county-level sites; operates HIV/AIDS surveillance, STI surveillance, tuberculosis control, radon risk reduction, maternal and child health services (including home visiting and perinatal quality improvement), emergency preparedness, epidemiology and laboratory capacity for emerging infectious disease response, and behavioral health surveillance. Representative contracts include a $273,385 definitive contract with FDA for human food inspections (awarded September 30, 2026, completion September 29, 2031), a $370,836 delivery order under the CDC indefinite delivery contract for viral special pathogens diagnostics and vital statistics work (award February 27, 2026, completion May 1, 2027), and a $2.824 million purchase order from SSA for Enumeration at Birth and Race and Ethnicity records services (award June 29, 2024, exercising option period 2 extending through June 28, 2027). On the grant side, IDOH is prime recipient of $37.316 million in Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.994) awarded October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027, supporting direct medical services, enabling services, population-based services, and infrastructure-building for maternal and child health across Indiana, and $117.152 million in WIC food expenses (CFDA 10.557) allocated October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The department also holds cooperative agreements with CDC for HIV/AIDS surveillance (Medical Monitoring Project, $1.543 million awarded September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2030), STI surveillance (SSUN Cycle 5, awarded September 30, 2024), tuberculosis control (awarded January 1, 2025), behavioral health surveillance (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and school-based surveillance, multiple awards), and FDA for laboratory flexible funding model food safety testing ($1.782 million awarded September 20, 2025 through June 30, 2030 with AB Sciex LLC as sub-recipient for instrumentation support).

Activity shows sustained but slightly declining award flow. IDOH received 31 awards in 2025 and 5 in 2026 (year-to-date as of September 30, 2026); the source captures recent activity through October 15, 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months stands at 42 awards valued at $417 thousand combined potential value—a modest cliff, with most large formula grants cycling in October 2026 as standard fiscal-year recompete windows close. Top parent vehicles include the CDC Pittsburgh IDC (basic ordering agreement HHSD200201250814I with 10 task orders, $2.3 million combined value), and indefinite delivery contracts with SSA and CDC for enumeration and surveillance work carrying $1.3 million to $2.1 million in combined potential value each.

IDOH subcontracts minimally—only 8 awards (1% of portfolio) appear as sub-awards. Named sub-recipients include Goodwill Industries of Michiana Inc. (home visiting services under the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant), AB Sciex LLC (instrumentation and support under the FDA Laboratory Flexible Funding Model cooperative agreement), and the American Lung Association (radon hotline and testing kit distribution under the EPA Region 5 State and Tribal Indoor Radon Grants program). The Farmers Food Assistance Bureau receives sub-award pass-throughs for WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program administration. The department also partners with county health departments, federally qualified health centers, community action agencies, hospitals, and nonprofit service providers as sub-recipients on WIC administrative expenses and nutrition programs, distributing $50.020 million in WIC Administrative Expenses to 26 sub-recipients across Indiana effective October 1, 2025.

IDOH's category concentration aligns with its public health mandate: Administration of Public Health Programs (75 awards), Computing Infrastructure Providers and Data Processing (41 awards), and Testing Laboratories and Services (13 awards) dominate the NAICS breakdown. By PSC, the department concentrates in Support-Administrative Information Retrieval (46 awards) and Support-Management Data Collection (36 awards), reflecting its surveillance, vital statistics, and program administration portfolio rather than direct service delivery or research.

The department operates across Indiana with administrative oversight in Indianapolis and subordinate performance sites in Durham, North Carolina (for CDC vital statistics work) and distributed county-level delivery sites across all Indiana counties for nutrition, health, and emergency preparedness programs. Place of performance spans Indianapolis, Indianapolis headquarters, and statewide Indiana for nutrition assistance, public health surveillance, and maternal and child health services.
