Pennsylvania Department Of Health

Pennsylvania Department Of Health, a state government agency and subsidiary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania headquartered in Harrisburg, acts as a federal grant recipient and contract prime across the full spectrum of civilian public health, nutrition, and data-collection programs, with no subcontract footprint and 100% of its recent awards placed as prime recipient or prime contractor.

Pennsylvania Department Of Health is a U.S. state government entity operating under no SBA set-aside categories. Its federal award portfolio spans 699 awards with combined potential value of $106.4 million and combined obligated dollars of $10.92 billion—a figure reflecting multi-year state entitlements, formula grants, and revolving cooperative agreements typical of state health agencies. The department operates five major customer concentrations: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh ($28.1 million across 40 awards), the CDC Office of Acquisition Services ($25.2 million across 12 awards), the Food and Drug Administration ($24.2 million across 9 awards), the Social Security Administration ($23.3 million across 34 awards), and the Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office ($589 thousand across 10 awards). These five account for 95 percent of combined potential value. Award count concentration is lower and broader: the CDC (85 awards), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (62 awards), and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (61 and 59 awards respectively counted separately) form the core, covering 44 percent of all awards. Recent activity has remained steady between 21 and 26 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with 6 awards in the first half of 2026.

The department's capability portfolio centers on public health administration, epidemiological data collection, nutrition program delivery, disease surveillance, vaccine management and cold-chain operations, tobacco compliance inspection, electronic death records processing, and emergency preparedness coordination.
