Rady Children's Hospital San Diego

Rady Children's Hospital San Diego Accounting Division, a tax-exempt nonprofit division of Rady Children's Health, operates as a federal grant recipient and occasional federal contractor focused on specialized pediatric laboratory services and child abuse prevention training and technical assistance. The division does not compete under SBA set-asides; all recent awards are full-and-open. The entity is headquartered in San Diego, California, and carries primary NAICS classification under Medical Laboratories and General Medical and Surgical Hospitals.

The division's federal footprint splits between two distinct capability streams. The first is reference laboratory testing — specifically infectious disease diagnostics for the Defense Health Agency and the Department of the Navy. A representative example is a firm fixed-price purchase order from the Defense Health Agency awarded January 26, 2022, for $146,610, providing Herpes Simplex Virus testing services at Naval Medical Center San Diego Lab, including 150 tests in the base year and 200 tests per option year through September 30, 2026, using polymerase chain reaction procedures. The second stream is child maltreatment prevention, training, and victim services through the Chadwick Center for Children and Families, a program operating under the division. The Chadwick Center received a $1.175 million Cooperative Agreement from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP, CFDA 16.758) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, to implement the Western Regional Children's Advocacy Center Project, delivering coordinated training and technical assistance to multidisciplinary teams, children's advocacy centers, and state chapters across 13 western states. A second OJJDP Cooperative Agreement (October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2026) established the division as manager of the Western Regional Children's Advocacy Center. The division also holds a Project Grant from the SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services (awarded September 30, 2023, running through September 29, 2028) for the Chadwick Prevention, Assessment, Treatment, and Training (PATT) Project, which provides direct clinical services and workforce development in infant and early childhood mental health across San Diego County targeting children ages zero to five exposed to trauma.

Customer concentration centers on defense medical and child welfare agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families dominates by potential value at $8.8 million across three awards (100% of combined potential value); the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery places 16 awards totaling $988 thousand; and the Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and Office for Victims of Crime together account for 14 awards. The division seats on two indefinite delivery contracts under the Navy — Indefinite Delivery Contract N0025997A0966 with 17 task orders and Indefinite Delivery Contract N0024413D0012 with 5 task orders ($208 thousand combined potential value). Recent contract work includes a May 18, 2026, purchase order from the U.S. Attorney's Offices for expert services ($26,216 ceiling value, completion May 18, 2027).

As a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient, the division has received multiple sub-awards from the California Office of Emergency Services and other prime grantees for child victim advocacy and therapeutic services. A representative sub-award example is a March 6, 2026, subaward from the Office of Emergency Services to provide comprehensive psychotherapy services to children victimized by abuse and neglect. The division also subcontracts under The Center for Comprehensive Care & Diagnosis of Inherited Blood Disorders on hemophilia and blood disorder network strengthening work (October 2, 2025, and June 1, 2024) and under the Child Health and Development Institute of Connecticut for content development in screening training (December 20, 2023).

Activity remains modest and episodic — two awards in 2026, four in each of 2024 and 2025, seven in 2023, and two in 2022. Combined obligated dollars ($234.1 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($9.9 million), reflecting multi-year commitments on indefinite delivery vehicles and cumulative grant funding. Four awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $173 thousand, presenting minimal recompete exposure.
