WinAContract · Jul 24, 2026
HHS has released 780 new opportunities in the past month across 1692 total active listings, but small business set-asides represent only 270 of 1692 opportunities (16 percent), while 473 full and open competitions favor established contractors.

The Department of Health and Human Services is in a rapid contracting cycle. With 352 opportunities currently open and 780 posted in the last 30 days alone, the agency is moving inventory fast. However, the competition landscape is sharply tilted: average award values exceed $78 million, the top five winners have collected $5.1 billion of the $5.5 billion in total awards, and small business set-asides are significantly outnumbered by unrestricted full and open solicitations.
