Stephens Memorial Hospital Association

Stephens Memorial Hospital Association, a Maine-based tax-exempt hospital and non-profit organization, receives federal funding as a grant sub-recipient (86% of recent awards) rather than as a prime contractor or grant prime, with all six sub-grant awards flowing through the Federal Emergency Management Agency as pass-through administrator. The organization does not hold federal contracts or GWAC seats.

Stephens Memorial's federal footprint centers on disaster-response and pandemic support work. The organization has received six sub-grants from FEMA since 2010, totaling $1.2 million in combined obligated dollars, with scope spanning employee labor costs, materials and supplies, and management costs tied to COVID-19 response and post-disaster recovery operations covering periods from March 2020 through May 2023. The most recent sub-award (May 2026) and three awards in 2025 (July, April, and April) carry descriptions of employee labor, materials, and contracts for the July 2022–May 2023 performance window, suggesting either multi-year drawdown activity or reimbursement claims spanning that same interval. A single award from the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration rounds out the customer set. The organization operates entirely as a sub-recipient under pass-through grants administered by FEMA; it does not compete as a prime awardee, hold an IDIQ, sit on a GWAC, or maintain a GSA Schedule.

Activity is episodic rather than sustained. Seven awards over a sixteen-year span (2010–2026) with clustering in 2025 and 2026 reflects disaster-driven or time-limited federal support rather than ongoing contract performance. No recompete cliff exposure is present — sub-grants under FEMA pass-through arrangements do not trigger competitive recompete cycles in the way that prime IDIQs or BPAs do. The organization's federal role is limited to receipt of emergency-response or health-support funds as a health-care provider sub-recipient, not as a technology, professional services, or logistics vendor.
