Washington Dept Of Public Inst

Washington Dept Of Public Inst (UEI: V347L2VWH347) serves as the parent entity overseeing multiple state subsidiaries and operates as a significant recipient of federal contracts and grants across diverse program areas. The entity's registration in SAM.gov indicates it is authorized to receive federal awards, though its registration expired on January 15, 1995, and has prime awardees across both federal contract and grant categories. Washington Dept Of Public Inst operates as the umbrella organization for various state agencies and departments, including the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Washington State Department of Health, Washington Department of Corrections, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction, among others. Through these subsidiaries, the entity has developed substantial expertise in delivering infrastructure services, public health initiatives, criminal justice programs, environmental management, education services, and transportation solutions to federal agencies.

The federal contract portfolio demonstrates WSDOT's substantial involvement in transportation and infrastructure services. Notable contract awards include a $10,800 purchase order from the Drug Enforcement Administration for tolls related to the "Seattle FD/Good to Go/OGV Tolls" project (October 2025-September 2026), a $9,770 delivery order from the Federal Aviation Administration's Region 6 for Lake Wenatchee State Airport maintenance in Wenatchee, Washington (completed September 2025), and a $29,435 delivery order from the Federal Highway Administration's Region 6 for transportation services (completed August 2025).

The Washington State Department of Health received a $100,000 purchase order from the Department of Homeland Security Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction for overarching technical and management support in laboratories under the BioWatch program (completed September 2024). The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife was awarded a $2,019,695 sole-source definitive contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for fall Chinook salmon production at the Ringold Springs Hatchery through December 2025. The Washington State Department of Health also received a $107,800 purchase order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for data gathering services (completed August 2024). All contracts have been awarded on a non-competitive or firm-fixed-price basis without set-aside designations, reflecting the state entity status of the subsidiaries.

The federal grant portfolio reflects extensive involvement across education, natural resources, public health, criminal justice, and environmental programs. The Superintendent of Public Instruction has been awarded substantial education grants including Title I funding, English Language Acquisition State Grants totaling $20,660,367, Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants of $20,838,842, 21st Century Community Learning Centers funding of $19,897,781, Migrant Education State Grants of $38,616,843, Rural Education Formula Grants of $1,176,279, Special Education Preschool Grants of $9,045,402, and State Assessments Formula Grants of $7,705,115. Child Nutrition Division grants support CNP meal reimbursement, fresh fruits and vegetables programs, and CN block programs. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has received substantial conservation and wildlife management grants, including a $2,019,695 contract from the Army Corps of Engineers for salmon production and cooperative agreements for sea otter monitoring, marbled murrelet surveys, habitat restoration, and species protection totaling millions of dollars through various Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 awards. The Washington Department of Corrections has been awarded multiple grants including a $764,508 Project Grant for evaluating and expanding Parenting Sentencing Alternative programs, a $250,000 Project Grant for a breathwork pilot program for correctional officers, and cooperative agreements for quality assurance initiatives and mental health training programs.

Public health grants include a $750,000 award from the Veterans Affairs for suicide prevention and federal funding for strengthening public health infrastructure. Criminal justice grants support various initiatives through the Bureau of Justice Assistance and Bureau of Justice Statistics. These grants employ diverse funding mechanisms including formula grants, project grants, and cooperative agreements from federal agencies including the Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, EPA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Corrections, Department of Commerce, CDC, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Washington Dept Of Public Inst does not appear to hold any Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) or blanket purchase agreements that serve as parent vehicles for ongoing task orders. While WSDOT has held blanket purchase agreements with the DEA for fuel and transportation services, these have been completed or are expiring, with no evidence of active IDVs currently in place. The recent contract activity reflects transactional purchase orders and delivery orders issued directly by federal agencies including the DEA, FAA, Federal Highway Administration, Forest Service, National Park Service, Naval Sea Systems Command, and other agencies, rather than orders against pre-established indefinite delivery vehicles. The contract awards to various subsidiaries demonstrate federal agencies' direct procurement approach rather than reliance on umbrella IDC arrangements, with each contract awarded individually through specific procurement actions for defined services such as transportation, maintenance, environmental monitoring, and specialized consulting services.
