Oregon Health Authority-Public Health

Oregon Health Authority-Public Health, operating as Oregon State Health Division, is a state government entity functioning as a prime recipient across 73 federal agencies and delivering vital statistics data collection and reporting, newborn screening and laboratory testing services, and administration of federal nutrition and health programs to federal agencies on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The division operates under the State of Oregon Office of the Governor and held 1,238 prime awards across contracts and grants in the recent portfolio, with no SBA set-aside designations applicable to a state public health agency.

Oregon Health Authority's core federal footprint concentrates on vital statistics data collection and reporting to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (VSCP 2022-2026, $3.3 million ceiling, extending through April 30, 2027), delivered from Salem, Oregon and Durham, North Carolina. The organization provides newborn bloodspot screening, phenylketonuria screening, and related laboratory testing services to the Defense Health Agency at military facilities worldwide (including Naval Hospital Guam, Naval Hospital Okinawa, and Japan) under a $4.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031) and to the Indian Health Service for services at the Warm Springs Service Unit and Chinle Laboratory. Recent contracts exemplify the work: a $26,345 purchase order from CDC Pittsburgh for 2026 National Death Index services (ultimate completion May 1, 2027); a $263,172 delivery order from CDC for vital statistics cooperative program data collection (ultimate completion May 1, 2027); a $1,521,704.52 purchase order from the Social Security Administration for enumeration at birth and race/ethnicity records services in Salem, Oregon (ultimate completion June 28, 2029); and a $1,920,969.77 purchase order from the Social Security Administration for electronic death records services across 54 states and jurisdictions (ultimate completion December 26, 2028).

Customer concentration by award count centers on formula and nutrition assistance programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service leads with 194 awards across WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557) awards, Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (CFDA 10.576) awards, and WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (CFDA 10.572) awards. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention follows with 132 awards spanning vital statistics, HIV/AIDS surveillance (CFDA 93.944), behavioral health surveillance, colorectal cancer screening, tuberculosis control (CFDA 93.944), immunization and vaccine-preventable disease prevention, and emergency preparedness. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ranks third with 98 awards for Medicaid entitlement (CFDA 93.778) and Children's Health Insurance Program (CFDA 93.767) block grants. By potential value, CDC Pittsburgh commands $11.3 million across 34 vital statistics and public health surveillance awards; the Social Security Administration holds $8.1 million across 24 electronic death records and enumeration awards; and the Defense Health Agency and Indian Health Service each hold $1.6 million in newborn screening and laboratory testing work.

Grant work dominates the portfolio. Oregon Health Authority acts as prime recipient across federal health, nutrition, environmental, and emergency preparedness programs. Representative awards include $68.552 billion in Medicaid entitlement (CFDA 93.778, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), $55.608 million in WIC food expenses (CFDA 10.557, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), $30.333 million in WIC administrative expenses (CFDA 10.557, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), $15.824 million in Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.994, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027), $11.84 million in Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for PFAS-focused public health infrastructure (CFDA 66.468, EPA Region 10, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2029), $10.19 million in Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting services (CFDA 93.870, September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2027), and $1.589 million in HIV/AIDS surveillance cooperative agreement (CFDA 93.944, September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2030). The Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.991) and multiple EPA environmental programs (lead-based paint compliance, radon risk reduction under CFDA 66.032, drinking water system supervision, and emerging contaminant remediation) round out the portfolio.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $521 thousand in FY2023 across 6.2 FTEs on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold; no other SCI-reportable invoicing appears in FY2022, FY2024, or FY2025 within the source data. On SCI-captured prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $31.69 per hour, with rates spanning $28.07 per hour at the 10th percentile to $68.97 per hour at the 90th percentile. The organization performed zero subcontractor hours on average across those SCI-reportable prime contracts, indicating in-house delivery posture on reportable service work.

As a state government entity, Oregon Health Authority-Public Health competes on full-and-open federal contracting vehicles without SBA set-aside designations. The organization holds positions on agency-wide BPAs and IDIQs, including the Defense Health Agency Blanket Purchase Agreement for newborn screening (33 task orders yielding $36 thousand combined value under HHSI248201400060B), Navy IDICs for newborn screening at military facilities worldwide (13 to 15 task orders, $637 thousand to $1.1 million), and HHS Basic Ordering Agreements for WIC and nutrition administration. Recent activity runs at 59 awards in 2025 and 79 in 2024, down from 60 in 2023, with 56 awards facing completion within the next twenty-four months and $2 million in combined potential value exposed to recompete. The portfolio's concentration on formula grants (WIC, Medicaid, CHIP) and categorical health programs (vital statistics, newborn screening, communicable disease surveillance, emergency preparedness) reflects Oregon's statutory role as the state's public health agency administering federal dollars through pass-through sub-awards to county health departments, local implementing agencies, and community-based organizations across Oregon's 36 counties and 9 tribes.
