WESTERN UPPER PENINSULA HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Western UP District Health Department is a public health entity focused on delivering community-based public health services and population-level health interventions in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Its core capabilities center on disease surveillance, immunization programs, environmental health inspections, maternal and child health outreach, and emergency preparedness response. The organization implements public health protocols aligned with CDC guidelines, conducts health education campaigns, and enforces state and local health codes through inspection and compliance activities. Specializations include infectious disease control, WIC program administration, and rural health access initiatives, with particular emphasis on serving geographically isolated and underserved populations. Technical expertise lies in public health data collection, case management systems, and interagency coordination with state and tribal health partners. Award history is not available to inform specific agency relationships or contract volume patterns. As a local government entity, it operates under the authority of the State of Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and collaborates with regional public health networks, though no formal federal contracting relationships can be confirmed from available data. The primary NAICS code 923120 classifies the entity as a local government public health service provider, indicating its role in delivering essential public health functions under state delegation. Its market positioning is firmly rooted in municipal public health infrastructure, with no indication of commercial or federal contract-based service delivery. The organization is structured as a 2A—local government entity—and holds no federal certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or small business status. It maintains a geographically focused presence in Hancock, Michigan, serving the Western Upper Peninsula region through direct public service delivery rather than federal procurement channels. Its operations are governed by state public health statutes and funded primarily through state and local appropriations.
