About the company
The Contingent is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit organization that operates as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering workforce development and family support services in the foster-care and workforce training space. The vendor's footprint is heavily skewed toward sub-award work — five of six awards (83%) are sub-awards — with a single prime cooperative agreement as the entry point to federal funding.
The Contingent's customer base divides sharply between two federal grantor agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for five awards, while the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration holds one. All six awards in the source data involve sub-recipient status; the nonprofit serves as a sub-grantee flowing down awards from state-level prime grantees.
The concrete capability portfolio centers on foster-care family services and workforce training. As a sub-recipient under the Arkansas Department of Human Services, The Contingent has received multiple sub-awards (November 2022, July 2023, July 2024, and July 2025) to recruit and retain resource parents and provide tangible supports to children and families impacted by foster care in Arkansas. Under the same state prime grantee, the nonprofit also performs sub-award work tied to the Administration for Children Youth and Families' Thriving Families Initiative, with a cooperative agreement running through December 8, 2025. A single sub-award from the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (dated August 2024) ties to Department of Labor WIOA formula grants for youth, adult, and dislocated-worker programming.
Award activity has remained flat across the past four years — one award in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and one through mid-2025 — with combined dollars obligated across all awards standing at $4.8 million. The vendor's prime footprint is minimal and consists solely of the HHS cooperative agreement initiated in September 2023. The nonprofit operates without federal contracts (IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs) and does not hold direct prime contracting relationships; federal funding flows exclusively through grant sub-awards from state and regional prime grantees.
