National Association Of State Mental Health Program Directors Inc.

National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors Inc., doing business as NASMHPD, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Virginia, that delivers behavioral health technical assistance, training, and systems transformation services to the federal government as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to other behavioral health organizations. NASMHPD represents state mental health commissioners and directors across all fifty states, six territories, and the District of Columbia, and channels this membership expertise into federal technical assistance and policy work.

NASMHPD's federal footprint is dominated by a single customer agency with overwhelming concentration. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) accounts for 30 of the vendor's 66 total awards and $239.7 million of the combined potential value across all awards — representing 96% of the vendor's recent potential value. SAMHSA work includes a $8.987 million delivery order issued September 30, 2026, under the SAMHSA IDIQ Domain 5L for state systems innovation and transformation services, priced on a time-and-materials basis through September 30, 2031. NASMHPD also holds an underlying SAMHSA single-award IDIQ (Domain 5L) from July 18, 2022. Two secondary vehicles — SAMHSA IDIQs identified as "SAMHSA Administration 1" and "SAMHSA Administration 2" — account for 8 and 3 task orders respectively with combined potential values of $59 million and $49.3 million. The remaining minor customers are housed within HHS: the Program Support Center (11 awards), the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (5 awards, $302 thousand), and the Administration for Community Living (2 awards).

Work performed spans all-other professional, scientific, and technical services (21 awards) and other scientific and technical consulting services (10 awards) under PSC codes dominated by support-professional and social-service categories. Beyond the SAMHSA delivery order, representative prime work includes technical assistance and thought leadership on serious mental illness training and technical assistance, early serious mental illness training and technical assistance, and certified community behavioral health clinic expansion. As a subcontractor, NASMHPD provides subject matter expertise and strategic guidance under the National Council for Behavioral Health on the Serious Mental Illness Training and Technical Assistance Center and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion National Training and Technical Assistance Center, and under ICF Incorporated on the National Training and Technical Assistance Center for Early Serious Mental Illness. NASMHPD also serves as a sub-recipient on federal grants, including work with the University of Connecticut on the National Technical Assistance Center for Child, Youth and Family Mental Health, the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services on co-occurring resource centers, and Stanford University on mental health dissemination and implementation.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on prime contracts totaled $76.8 million across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2023 peak invoicing of $21.9 million against 21.6 FTEs. Activity has trended slightly downward in FY2025 ($19 million across 15.7 FTEs), though the September 2026 $8.987 million delivery order signals continued prime engagement. Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts captured in SCI ran a median of $423.25 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $475.87 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, NASMHPD subcontractors account for roughly 14% of total contractor hours, with three named subs reported. Award activity has been sparse but consistent — one award in 2022, two in 2023, five in 2024, one in 2025, and five in 2026 — reflecting the concentration of work under standing IDIQs rather than transactional acquisitions.
