Pickaway County Community Action Organization

Pickaway County Community Action Organization Inc., doing business as P I C C A, is a tax-exempt nonprofit community action agency based in Circleville, Ohio, that delivers homeless services and transitional housing for veterans as a federal prime contractor and grant recipient, with supplemental federal funding routed through state and local sub-awards. P I C C A operates without SBA set-aside designations across full-and-open procurements and grant competitions. The organization has maintained federal contracting authority since 2004.

P I C C A's primary federal contracting footprint centers on Veterans Affairs work under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 10, valued at $2.764 million through March 2028, procuring low-demand transitional housing beds and related services for single and family veterans experiencing homelessness. Representative delivery orders under this IDV include a $288,848 firm fixed-price order (awarded April 2026, completion March 2027) for transitional housing beds serving male, female, and family veterans; a $174,314.86 order (April 2025, completion March 2026); and a $209,492.14 order (April 2024, completion March 2025). All orders are executed without set-aside designation at the Circleville location. P I C C A also delivered a $103,298.25 delivery order for health care services to homeless veterans through the Chillicothe Health Care for Homeless Veterans Program (completed June 2023).

The grant portfolio spans the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (Head Start and Early Head Start programs, including a project grant awarded January 2025 running through December 2029), the Department of Agriculture (Rural Housing Preservation Grants under CFDA 10.433, with three consecutive awards: $113,300 awarded October 2026 with completion July 2027; $113,300 awarded October 2025 with completion July 2026; and $113,300 awarded August 2023 with completion October 2024), and the Veterans Health Administration (per diem funding for transitional housing operations, awarded August 2023 with completion September 2025). P I C C A acts as prime recipient on these HHS and USDA grants and as sub-recipient on federal grant programs flowing through Ohio state agencies, including Community Services Block Grants, Home Energy Assistance Program, Home Weatherization Assistance Program, and Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program funding administered through the Ohio Department of Development; Child Care Food Program and related child care funding through the Ohio Department of Education; and transit mobility management and operating assistance through transit authorities.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Veterans Affairs (35 awards, $8.5 million combined potential value, representing 99% of the organization's combined potential-value portfolio) and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (47 awards by count). These two agencies account for 64% of award volume across the 171 total awards in the source. The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Energy, and Department of Agriculture round out the top five customers by award count. P I C C A's work is concentrated in NAICS 624221 (temporary shelters) and PSC 71 (social-social rehabilitation), reflecting the homeless services and community action orientation of its mission.

Recent activity shows significant volatility in award volume — 42 awards in 2023, declining to 18 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 to date. This decline pattern reflects the episodic nature of grant-based funding and state pass-through awards rather than sustained contract vehicles. Four awards (combined potential value $289 thousand) reach completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete opportunity. P I C C A's obligated dollars ($105.6 million) far exceed its combined potential value ($8.6 million), indicating substantial prior performance on completed awards and state grant sub-awards with large historical invoicing relative to remaining ceilings on active agreements.
