Regents Of The University Of CA

Regents Of The University Of CA — doing business as Santa Monica - UCLA Medical Center — operates as a public university medical center and acts primarily as a federal grant sub-recipient (67% of recent awards) with minimal prime contracting exposure, delivering healthcare services and nutritional program support to federal agencies and state entities administering federal child nutrition programs.

The organization is a U.S. state government entity structured as a hospital system within the University of California. Its federal footprint is nascent and modest. Between September 2024 and October 2025, the vendor received three awards totaling $48 thousand in combined potential value, though $69 thousand in actual dollars obligated signals early-stage or supplemental funding activity. The prime award was a $47,898 firm fixed-price definitive contract issued September 27, 2024 by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) for analysis services, with performance completion scheduled for September 26, 2026. The two sub-awards, both received in October 2025, derive from the Department of Social Services California as the prime grantee administering the Child and Adult Food Care Program (CACFP), a federal-state child nutrition initiative. In its sub-recipient role under CACFP, UCLA Medical Center provides or coordinates nutritious meals and snacks for infants, children, and adults within California's CACFP network.

Customer concentration reflects the medical center's California-based footprint: the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service account for 100% of tracked awards. The single award reaching completion within the next twenty-four months ($48 thousand potential value) represents the VA contract. The vendor does not hold seats on government-wide vehicles or IDIQs and does not report a subcontracting presence on prime contracts outside the CACFP sub-recipient roles. The award velocity (one award in 2024, two in 2025) and dollar scale suggest early or exploratory federal engagement rather than an established federal contractor footprint.
