HRSA solicits contracts to transform Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
The Health Resources and Services Administration Feb. 6 requested vendor proposals to support changes to governance, technology and operation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, as authorized by Congress last year. HRSA also directed the current OPTN vendor, the United Network for Organ Sharing, to standardize and update data reporting for greater accountability and equity in organ procurement and transplant practices. HRSA indicates that the scope and scale of the contract awards will be contingent on final 2024 appropriations.
The Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act authorized HRSA to expand competition for contracts to operate the network and create an independent board of directors.
