National Capital Coalition

National Capital Coalition is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization that operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering youth prevention and substance-abuse services under sub-awards from the District of Columbia government funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

The organization holds no federal prime contracts or contract vehicles and does not bid on full-and-open federal procurements. All nine awards in the recent portfolio are federal grant sub-awards, representing $1.9 million in combined obligated dollars across a roughly three-year window. The vendor acts as the sole recipient type in its federal footprint — it receives no contract awards, IDVs, BPAs, or GWAC seats, and performs no subcontractor role on federal contracts. Its entire transacting posture centers on SAMHSA grant funding flowing through the District of Columbia as the prime grantee.

Work performed focuses on youth substance-abuse prevention and compliance enforcement in Washington, DC. Representative sub-awards include operation of a Youth Prevention Center (awarded Feb 3, 2025, and multiple predecessor awards dating to Nov 9, 2023) that prevents early onset of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use while reducing risk and increasing protective factors for children and youth; provision of prevention services at the prevention center (awarded Jan 20, 2026); management of youth compliance checks with tobacco licensees under the Synar program to enforce Tobacco 21 legislation (awarded Sep 4, 2025); and implementation of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration Reorganization Act compliance framework under Public Law 102-321 (awarded Jul 24, 2024).

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Health and Human Services SAMHSA accounts for all nine awards across the two distinct federal customer agencies listed; all funding flows through the District of Columbia government as the intermediate grant administrator. Activity has remained modest and episodic — two awards in 2023, one in 2024, four in 2025, and two in early 2026 — with no indication of growth trajectory or pipeline expansion beyond the current SAMHSA-DC grant relationships. The organization has no federal contracting vehicles, no teaming relationships with federal contractors, and no demonstrated capability to pursue full-and-open federal procurements or set-aside contract work.
