State Of New Mexico

The State of New Mexico Department of Health, a centralized state public health agency operating as a division of the State of New Mexico, acts as a prime recipient and contractor delivering federal grant funding and contracted services across public health, healthcare delivery, and vital statistics management to federal agencies statewide across New Mexico's 33 counties and 22 tribal nations. The department holds no SBA set-aside designations, competing on full-and-open basis as a state government entity.

The department's federal footprint centers on three capability domains. Community nursing home services and veteran care management form the largest contract revenue stream through a $2.25 million indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, under which 34 task orders have been issued for express reporting, patient case management, and nursing home oversight at locations in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Laboratory testing services—newborn genetic screening, retail meat surveillance for antimicrobial resistance, and clinical laboratory work—generate significant volume through contracts with the Indian Health Service ($1.8 million combined potential value across 36 awards), including a $165,300 purchase order for newborn genetic screening at Gallup Indian Medical Center and ongoing Blanket Purchase Agreements for laboratory testing. Vital statistics and enumeration services anchor work with the Social Security Administration ($4.2 million combined potential value across 20 awards), including a $974,490.52 enumeration-at-birth and race-and-ethnicity records contract and a $930,000.28 electronic death records procurement extending through December 2028.

Federal grant work dominates the department's overall award count and obligated dollar volume. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funds 97 awards across disease surveillance, emergency preparedness, immunization management, epidemiology capacity, and health monitoring programs. Recent cooperative agreements include $10.759 million for Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grants (CFDA 93.994, October 2025 through September 2027), $359,999 for retail meat surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in the food supply (CFDA 93.103, September 2025 through August 2030), and recurring cooperative agreements for immunization programs, behavioral risk factor surveillance, youth risk surveillance, HIV prevention, emerging infections detection, and environmental health tracking through the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The Department of Agriculture funds recurring formula grants for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557), with combined awards totaling $62.299 million for administrative expenses, food expenses, and breastfeeding peer counselor services (October 2025 through September 2026). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $712,068 for Connect & Care New Mexico, a statewide youth suicide prevention and early intervention initiative targeting ages 10–24 (CFDA 93.532, September 2026 through September 2031). The Health Resources and Services Administration funds maternal and child health services, newborn screening system priorities, and pediatric mental health care access expansion across 19 awards. The department also receives project grants for state maternal health innovation, overdose data-to-action surveillance, tuberculosis elimination, heart disease and stroke prevention, diabetes prevention for priority populations, sexual violence prevention education, violent death reporting, family planning telehealth infrastructure, and environmental public health tracking, with performance spanning the entire state and administrative oversight from Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

Customer concentration reflects the dual contract and grant footprint. The Department of Veterans Affairs (54 awards, $12.4 million combined potential value) anchors contract work; the Social Security Administration (20 awards, $4.2 million) drives enumeration and vital records revenue; the Indian Health Service (36 awards, $1.8 million) sustains laboratory testing contracts; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (97 awards) represents the largest grant award count, though the source does not itemize CDC's combined potential value. Together, these five agencies account for 49% of recent awards. The top five customers by potential value account for 97% of combined potential dollars obligated.

The department holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with VISN 22 (36C25821D0038, $2.25 million ceiling, April 2026 through April 2031) anchoring veteran care services. Additional parent vehicles include two Social Security Administration IDIQs (SS000860048 and SS001260032, 15 task orders combined) and a Basic Ordering Agreement with the VA (VA25815A0094, 15 task orders, $360 thousand combined potential value) for nursing home services. Award activity has remained relatively flat at 24 to 34 awards annually over the past five years (2022–2026), with 31 awards due for completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $169 thousand). The department receives sub-awards from the New Mexico Health Care Authority, Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety, and Department of Finance and Administration, primarily for refugee health screening, injury surveillance integration, forensic toxicology support, and school-based health center projects.

NAICS concentration is dominated by Nursing Care Facilities (53 awards) and Testing Laboratories (21 awards), reflecting the department's veterans nursing home and clinical laboratory testing posture. The department operates as a centralized state public health agency providing direct federal healthcare delivery and public health surveillance rather than as a commercial contractor; its federal footprint is characterized by recurring formula grants, cooperative agreements with public health agencies, and single-award or limited-competition contracts with Veterans Health Administration and vital statistics processors.
