HCD

A Headquarters Contracting Division is the centralized contracting organization at an agency's headquarters level responsible for major acquisitions, policy oversight, and enterprise-wide contract vehicles. HCDs typically handle high-dollar procurements, complex requirements, and contracts that support multiple agency components.

HCDs provide contracting expertise for headquarters-level programs and may serve as the contracting office of record for agency-wide service contracts, IT acquisitions, and administrative support. They often maintain specialized expertise in areas such as professional services, construction, or information technology that field offices may lack. Understanding whether a procurement originates from HCD or a regional office helps contractors identify the appropriate points of contact.
