This is a combined for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. HRSA anticipates award and performance to take place late February 2026. HRSA intends to Award a Sole Source Firm Fixed Price Contract IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 and 15 procedures, under the authority of FAR 6.103-1: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency

requirements. The intended Contractor is United Network For Organ Sharing (UNOS), a nonprofit organization, located at 700 N 4TH ST, RICHMOND, VA 23219 USA. Competition is not possible as UNOS is the only responsible source capable of performing the migration of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) Information Technology (IT) system from the current Nutanix platform to the cloud. No other vendor besides UNOS possesses the access, technical expertise, and operational authority required to migrate the OPTN IT system safely and effectively while preserving the integrity of ongoing operations. The Government’s lack of administrative control of the current private cloud environment makes it impossible to direct or oversee migration efforts without UNOS’s cooperation. The system’s complexity, coupled with its critical public health function, requires that migration be executed by the entity that both owns and operates the current environment to prevent catastrophic service disruptions. Any attempt to have another vendor conduct the migration without UNOS’s cooperation would require reverse-engineering the system and reconstructing its proprietary architecture—an action that is not only technically infeasible but would also be cost-prohibitive, fraught with risk, and not in the best interest of the government or the American public. The potential consequences include corruption of data, loss of historical records, interruption of organ-matching operations, and immediate threat to patient safety. As such, UNOS is uniquely qualified and solely capable of executing the migration in a manner that ensures uninterrupted service, data fidelity, and compliance with all operational

requirements. No other contractor or federal entity can execute this transition without risking data loss, system downtime, or direct harm to patient care. Solicitation number (75R60226Q00006) is issued as a request for proposal (RFP) to provide all personnel, management, materials, equipment, and services necessary to migrate the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) Information Technology (IT) system from the existing private on-premises Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) to a modern, secure, scalable, and resilient cloud-based IT environment that meets current and future operational

requirements. The administrative access and controls to the private data center, equipment, and underlying codebase are under the control of United Network For Organ Sharing (UNOS), a nonprofit organization, located at 700 N 4th St, Richmond, VA 23219. This acquisition is not set-aside for small business concerns. This solicitation incorporates provisions and clauses by reference. The full text of provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at www.acquisition.gov. The North American Industry System (NAICS) for this requirement is 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services. The services required under this action include a comprehensive assessment of the current environment, the design of a target architecture consistent with federal security and reliability standards, and the execution of a phased migration plan for the OPTN system to a public cloud service provider that preserves the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of all OPTN data and operations. The contractor will also provide system stabilization, documentation, and post-migration support to ensure the environment meets federal cybersecurity and operational continuity

requirements. The

period of performance of this effort will be 16 months and performance will take place offsite at the Contractor’s facility. This
