The 10 HHS HCAs: every name, every email, re-checked October 19, 2026

HHS went from 13 contracting activities to 10. OMAS is new. ACF and AHRQ are gone (their work flows through OMAS SBC-Mission). Three of the remaining HCAs are Acting — and they happen to be the three biggest spenders.

HHS last reviewed its HCA roster on April 27, 2026. I re-read the official page on October 19, 2026 and nothing on it had changed: same ten names, same three Acting designations (ARPA-H, CDC, CMS). Page updated October 19, 2026. · HHS profile · Visual org chart · OMAS deep dive
Showing 10 of 10 HCAs.

Sources. HHS HCA and Key Managers roster (verified 2026-04-27). HHS OSDBU Small Business Specialists by OpDiv (verified 2026-05-07).

What's not on this page. SAMHSA and ACL no longer appear on the HCA roster. SAMHSA's contracting authority is verifying — coverage is likely via OMAS or a parent HCA. ACL is similar. Treat both as "verify before targeting" until HHS publishes a clarification.

Refresh cadence. Quarterly, against the official roster page. Last pass October 19, 2026: roster unchanged since April 27, 2026; the ASFR key personnel page (reviewed October 9, 2026) now lists Anthony Kram as Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Acquisitions and shows the Principal Deputy ASFR seat vacant. Vacancies fill; Acting designations turn Permanent. If you see a name change between refreshes, email mary@missionmeetstech.com and we'll re-verify the source.
