Hearst's federal contracting activity spans multiple agencies and sectors. Its subsidiary Fitch Solutions provides financial intelligence and credit ratings to agencies such as the Treasury Department, Export-Import Bank, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. First Databank, another Hearst company, delivers drug information databases and clinical decision support tools to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Defense Health Agency, and Department of Veterans Affairs. MCG Health supplies evidence-based care guidelines and utilization management software to the Indian Health Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In the aviation sector, Camp Systems International provides maintenance tracking services to the U.S. Marshals Service and other agencies, while Inventory Locator Service offers parts database subscriptions to various military branches. These contracts are typically awarded without small business set-asides, reflecting Hearst's status as a large corporation.

The Hearst Corporation holds a single Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service. This BPA, awarded to Hearst Business Media Corp, supports fleet management requirements with a ceiling value of $50,000 and runs from June 2020 through May 2025. While specific task orders were not detailed, the agreement allows for the procurement of products and services related to GSA's Fleet Management program. This BPA enables government customers to fulfill recurring needs for supplies and services at established prices through direct delivery orders over the five-year period, assisting the agency in managing its fleet assets efficiently and cost-effectively across nationwide operations.
