About the company
Somali American Council Of Oregon (Sacoo) is a Black American-owned, minority-owned nonprofit community development corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon that operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, with no prime contract or grant awards in the source record. The organization's seven federal sub-awards total $1.2 million obligated across public health and nutrition outreach programs funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Sacoo's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-grant work performed under state-level prime grantees. The organization received five sub-awards from the Oregon Health Authority for COVID-19 vaccination FEMA reimbursable contracts (September 2021 and November 2022), epidemiology and laboratory capacity for infectious diseases programming (June 2022), public health equity grants (June 2022), and lived experience programming (June 2024). One additional sub-award came from the Oregon Department of Human Services for SNAP outreach work awarded in December 2025. The single Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service sub-award appears to be routed through the Oregon Department of Human Services as the administrative prime. The organization does not appear in federal procurement systems as a prime contract awardee or as a contracting-vehicle participant.
Activity shows three sub-awards in 2022 centered on pandemic public health response, followed by a gap in 2023, then a return to activity in 2024 and 2025 with shifted focus toward SNAP outreach and lived-experience programming. The most recent award, dated December 2025, represents continued SNAP outreach work with the Oregon Department of Human Services. Sacoo's operational posture is that of a local community organization delivering culturally responsive health and nutrition services to the Somali American population in the Portland metropolitan area, working as a downstream subawardee under state health and human services agencies rather than as a direct federal contractor or grant recipient.
