Deltek Pulse: Health and Human Services month in review, April 2017

Deltek witnessed high solicitation activity in the State, Local and Education (SLED) Health and Human Services (HHS) market in April 2017. The second quarter of the year typically yields the largest amount of solicitations and last month’s numbers support that trend. Solicitation activity was high across all states, but notably so in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington State. For the first time all year, Virginia surpassed Texas in the number of solicitations released, with Washington State close behind. Taking a closer look at the primary requirement of each solicitation, there was an increase in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) requirements, as well as a notable uptick in Operations and Maintenance requirements. However, the majority of solicitations were in the categories of Professional Services and Medical and Scientific Equipment. The number of Information Technology (IT) projects remained relatively steady from previous months.
