Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Service Area Competition (SAC)

The Fiscal Year 2027 Service Area Competition provides funding to expand access to comprehensive, high-quality preventive and primary health care in medically underserved communities across the United States and its territories. Through this initiative, grants are awarded to health centers that demonstrate the capacity to deliver essential services to populations with limited access to care, with service areas designated in the Service Area Announcement Table. Additional service areas may be announced throughout the year via the SAC-Additional Area process if an existing award holder is no longer able to fulfill its service obligations, ensuring continuous coverage in vulnerable regions. The funding initiative is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services. This opportunity is posted as a forecast with no solicitation number and no set-aside designation, indicating it is a planned funding opportunity open to eligible applicants without specific restrictions. The contract is not tied to a specific NAICS code or organization type, allowing a broad range of health centers to apply. All applications and inquiries should be directed to the designated point of contact at the Health Resources and Services Administration, accessible via the provided email and phone number. Information and updates can be tracked through the official grants.gov portal linked in the posting, and the opportunity was made available for public notice on July 31, 2026.
