About the company
Candid, doing business as The Foundation Center, is a New York-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization that sells enterprise database subscriptions, custom datasets, and specialized research services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and holds no subcontracting relationships in its federal footprint.
Candid's capability portfolio centers on subscription access to comprehensive nonprofit and philanthropic databases, supplemented by custom data extraction and research services. Representative recent work includes a $194,531.50 purchase order from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Federal Housing Commissioner office (administratively transferred to GSA under Executive Order 14240) for executed agency and participant research services running through September 2029; a $168,852.24 definitive contract from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for subscriptions to the Candid Grants Database covering 44 users across two option years; a $29,700 purchase order from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service for a custom dataset of 224,044 records supporting the Innovation Center; and a $29,995 Enterprise Access Subscription to the Foundation Directory from the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Customer concentration sits heavily with HUD, which accounts for 4 awards and $794 thousand in combined potential value (53% of total dollars across Candid's recent footprint). FEMA, the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and the Department of State's Bureau of International Information Programs follow, each placing two awards. The Department of Agriculture appears across three distinct sub-offices (Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support with 8 awards, Rural Housing Service with 3, and Forest Service Research Service with 2), collectively representing the highest award count at 13 awards but lower-dollar work ($161 thousand combined). Of the 29 total awards, 66% concentrate among the top five customer offices, tracking closely to potential-value concentration at 91% across the top five customers — indicating that HUD's dollar dominance reflects genuine high-value renewals rather than a split between many small orders and a few large ones.
Activity has been sporadic over the past five years, ranging from one award in 2022 to three in 2024, with two awards in 2026 (the most recent dated September 30, 2026). Combined potential value across all 29 recent awards stands at $1.5 million, with $1 million obligated (68% of potential). The vendor's awards cluster under internet publishing, web-based subscriptions, data processing, and library/research support classifications (NAICS codes in Periodical Publishers, Libraries and Archives, and Computing Infrastructure Providers; PSC codes dominated by IT and Telecom Web-Based Subscription). Candid's federal work remains narrowly concentrated in database and subscription licensing rather than diversified into other service lines.
