I just heard a prominent newsman ask "If every government agency had did what you did...." I had to stop the tv and rewind to be sure I heard correctly. I think he should have said "...had done what you did..."

Yes, you were fortunate to have been able to rewind your TV broadcast. The newsman should have said either: “If every government agency did what you did…” or “If every government agency had done what you did…”
