NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STATE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM DIRECTORS INC. was awarded a contract with the United States Government for $87,012,416.00. The contract was awarded by the agency office SUBSTANCE ABUSE MENTAL HEALTH SVC, which is a division with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services.

Summary of Award

In reviewing the contract details from usaspending.gov, we find a significant financial agreement between the U.S. federal government and the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors Inc. (NASMHPD), a corporate entity classified as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. This contract, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through its component, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is tied to the Technical Assistance (TA) Coalition and Transformation Transfer Initiative (TTI). The primary objective is to provide professional support services aimed at mental health program development and implementation.

The contract, identified by the unique award ID "CONT_AWD_75S20321F42001_7522_HHSS283201700024I_7522," began on September 8, 2021, and is set to potentially extend until September 7, 2026. Valued at a total obligation of $84,273,123 with a total subaward amount of $42,979,592 across 155 subawards, this delivery order is executed under a cost-plus award fee structure. This pricing strategy reflects an agreement where the government covers actual costs incurred and an additional fee linked to the performance of the contractor.

NASMHPD, based in Alexandria, Virginia, with its physical address at 66 Canal Center Plaza, operates within the broader nonprofit sector, focusing on supporting state mental health program directors and aligning state mental health policies across different states. Its role under this contract includes providing professional, scientific, and technical services classified under the NAICS code 541990. The transactions associated with this contract reveal key financial movements and modifications to the award over time. The transactions captured within the contract lifecycle indicate adjustments and incremental payments made to NASMHPD. Notable transactions include: 1. On August 1, 2021, an initial transaction amounted to $1,766,543, marking the inception phase of the project. 2. Subsequent modifications increased financial commitments, such as the $2,103,637 transaction on September 28, 2022. 3. Another significant transaction was logged on August 15, 2024, tallying $22,358,314, indicative of ongoing project scaling and possibly the fulfillment of project milestones. 4. Other transactions served more operational roles, attaching no direct transaction amount but indicating procedural updates or amendments to the contract. These zero-sum modifications likely involve administrative adjustments without impacting the overall financial payout immediately. The financial commitments are dissected through various fiscal codes. For instance, among the account obligations, $63,796,260 is attributed to fiscal designation "Q," and $20,476,863 to designation "V". Meanwhile, the actual outlays—real cash transactions made under this contract—tally up to $63,530,663.21, split into $58,487,930.95 under code "Q" and $5,042,732.26 under code "V". These codes are reflective of certain budgetary allocations pertinent to the contract's broader financial framework. The intricacies of this award align with SAMHSA's mission to advance the behavioral health of the nation. By working through a prominent nonprofit organization like NASMHPD, the federal agency ensures the facilitation of technical support designed for transformation in mental health program delivery at a state level. Moreover, the contract represents a strategic partnership intent on leveraging NASMHPD's unique position within the mental health sector. With a strong foundational knowledge and network at state-level mental health agencies, NASMHPD is well-positioned to bridge federal objectives with state-level execution effectively. The award's competitive nature, categorized under "FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION," emphasizes the intent to utilize the best-suited entity to deliver on the contract's objectives. The negotiations and competitive bidding process highlight transparent governmental procurement practices aiming to optimize both efficacy and cost-efficiency. Finally, the fiscal management of this contract encapsulates a cost-control mechanism offered by the cost-plus award fee structure. This structure encourages NASMHPD to perform better, as their revenue is not solely tied to incurred expenses but also the quality and timely delivery of services. In conclusion, the contract between the Department of Health and Human Services and NASMHPD underscores a critical partnership aimed at enhancing state-level mental health programs through a structured and well-documented financial agreement. It reflects the government’s strategic approach to partner with knowledgeable entities capable of navigating complex public health landscapes, ensuring effective program implementation and transformation across the nation's mental health programs.
