New Mexico Department Of Health

New Mexico Department of Health, a state government entity and division of the State of New Mexico, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor on federal vital statistics data collection and processing work, with no subcontract footprint in federal contracting but active sub-recipiency in federal grant programs. The department operates under full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal award portfolio.

New Mexico Department of Health's prime contracting footprint centers on a single indefinite delivery contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Pittsburgh valued at $3,129,680 through April 2027, supporting the National Center for Health Statistics' Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP). Under this IDC, the department delivers approximately $225,936 firm fixed-price delivery orders on an annual or sub-annual cycle, most recently on February 27, 2026, to collect, process, and disseminate birth and death certificate data from New Mexico. Work is performed in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Five delivery orders against this parent IDC are documented in the source, spanning 2022 through early 2026, representing consistent year-over-year engagement on the same mission.

Federal grant work dominates the department's activity volume and dollar concentration. The department acts as a prime recipient of formula grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), including a $920,862 WIC Modernization grant (May 2023 through September 2027), a $556,925 WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselors award (January 2023 through September 2024), a $560,183 WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselors award (January 2022 through September 2023), and a $166,000 WIC Innovation Fund Grant (May 2023 through September 2025). The department also holds formula grants from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and project grants from the USDA Food Distribution Division for senior nutrition and commodity assistance programs. Across the full portfolio, the department acts as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs, receiving pass-through funding from the New Mexico Department of Transportation for scientific laboratory work supporting alcohol impairment detection and training (fiscal years 2024 and 2025), from the New Mexico Public Education Department for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program reimbursement claims reporting (fiscal 2025–2026), and from the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management for emergency protective measures and disaster recovery work under FEMA grants (multiple awards from 2021 through mid-2023).

Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of Health and Human Services, with the CDC Pittsburgh office accounting for 33 awards and $11 million in combined potential value (the largest customer by both metrics). The source records 380 total awards spanning 1985 to February 2026, though recent activity has declined significantly—from 15 awards in 2022 to just one in 2026 year to date. Combined potential value across all awards is $15.3 million, but obligated dollars ($886.6 million) vastly exceed potential value, indicating mature, fully-invoiced grant and contract awards rather than forward pipeline. Only one award completes within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $226,000), suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Primary capability areas per NAICS include Administration of Public Health Programs (30 awards) and Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services (19 awards), with professional science and technology services as secondary categories.
