National Association Of State Alcohol And Drug Agency Directors, Inc.

National Association Of State Alcohol And Drug Agency Directors, Inc., doing business as Nasadad, is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization that provides technical assistance, subject matter expertise, and event coordination services to federal agencies addressing substance abuse prevention and treatment as a prime contractor (83% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor. Nasadad operates on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio and has held a SAM.gov registration since 2004.

Nasadad's customer base is highly concentrated. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) accounts for 31 awards and $22.6 million in combined potential value — 86% of award count and 94% of combined potential value across the top five customer agencies. The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration contributes 6 awards valued at $186 thousand, and the Department of Health and Human Services Program Support Center and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration together account for 13 awards totaling $647 thousand. The top two rankings converge tightly on SAMHSA dominance, with SAMHSA's technical assistance mission the primary driver of Nasadad's contract and grant footprint.

Nasadad's prime work centers on technical assistance contracts and delivery orders with SAMHSA. The most significant recent award is a $6.7 million firm fixed-price delivery order issued by SAMHSA on September 30, 2026, for Single State Agencies Systems Technical Assistance running through September 29, 2030, providing program monitoring and reporting support for recipients of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant program, with place of performance in Rockville, Maryland. Additional recent prime awards include a $77.9 thousand purchase order from the Drug Enforcement Administration (awarded September 30, 2023) for DEA co-sponsorship of the National Prevention Network Conference in Birmingham, Alabama, and a $19.1 thousand purchase order from DEA (awarded April 1, 2024) for event planning and logistics coordination related to substance abuse conferences.

Nasadad operates under two named SAMHSA-held indefinite-delivery contracts: SAMHSA IDIQ Domain 5L (single award, $1,000 ceiling, completed July 17, 2023) and two active IDCs generating $14.8 million in combined potential value and $6.7 million across recent task orders. Activity has been modest but recurring — one award in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only one prime award (combined potential value $7.6 million) due to complete within the next twenty-four months.

In its subcontractor role, Nasadad delivers strategic guidance and subject matter expertise on the substance use disorder continuum of care to Hendall Inc. on a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics State Technical Assistance Center contract funded by SAMHSA (awarded November 1, 2023), and serves as a prevention content expert and liaison to the University of Missouri on the SAMHSA Prevention Technology Transfer Center National Coordinating Office (multiple sub-grant awards from December 2023 forward). Nasadad also acts as a sub-recipient on grant work with the National Council for Behavioral Health on recovery support integration in youth and young adult programs (September 6, 2023), and with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services on substance use treatment and prevention initiatives (multiple sub-awards, August 2025 forward).

Nasadad's capability portfolio is concentrated in SAMHSA-aligned technical assistance: substance abuse prevention and treatment program design, state alcohol and drug agency coordination, regulatory and financing guidance for state substance use providers, learning collaboratives and webinar delivery, and conference and event planning. The organization's membership base of state alcohol and drug abuse directors positions it as a liaison between federal substance abuse initiatives and state-level implementation partners. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable invoiced activity ($0 across FY2022–FY2025 prime records), with the vendor appearing in 10 SCI records (5 as prime, 5 as named subcontractor) and averaging under 1.0 FTE on federal service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold — SCI is not representative of Nasadad's true federal footprint, which is anchored in technical-assistance contracts and grants rather than in labor-hour service contracts.
