Insight
Over the last 5 years, SAMHSA obligated $1.30 billion across 1,055 awards, with spending highly concentrated in NAICS 541990, which accounts for $1.04 billion and 592 awards. The next four NAICS codes—541512, 541611, 541614, and 541690—collectively represent a much smaller share of obligations, indicating a heavy reliance on broad professional, scientific, and technical services rather than a balanced spread across multiple categories. The remaining top NAICS codes each fall below $14 million, suggesting a long tail of lower-value procurements outside the dominant contracting areas.
