The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) carries out a wide range of contracting activity totaling over $3 Trillion in spending across its 11 major divisions. While the vast majority of HHS spending is in CMS (Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services) billions of dollars are spent across the board in health, IT, supplies, professional services, and specialty products in support of the HHS mission:  to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.

This briefing will provide insight into the market opportunities as well as strategies you can utilize to market to, identify, reach, and engage HHS stakeholders because HHS is expected to have over $94 billion in discretionary spending in FY 2026.

IMPORTANT: The government shutdown severely impacted spending in Q1 (October-December 2025) resulting in added pressure for HHS to find DOGE approves solutions. Additionally Reductions in Force (RIFs) throughout HHS have created compressed work loads where contractors can add value by utilizing streamlined acquisition. Contractors who can solve problems need to proactively align themselves with new priorities in FY2026.
