The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipient (SRTR) Bridge Contract.

Eligibility / Set-Aside

HRSA is actively taking steps to remove barriers to future full and open competition, including conducting market research and outreach to potential vendors for a subsequent competitive acquisition.
Submission & Evaluation
This document is a justification for a sole-source award, not a solicitation. Therefore, details regarding proposal submission and evaluation are not applicable.
Additional Notes
The SRTR requirement is highly complex and specialized, necessitating further refinement of technical requirements and performance specifications for a future competitive procurement. HRSA has conducted market research, including a Request for Information (RFI) on SAM.gov, to identify potential vendors. The current contract (No. 75R60220C00011) was awarded via full and open competition.
