UNITED NETWORK FOR ORGAN SHARING

United Network for Organ Sharing specializes in managing and operating the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), delivering end-to-end technical and administrative support for the national organ allocation system. Their core capabilities include patient registration and transplant listing services, secure IT infrastructure modernization, and system integration for organ donation and transplantation workflows. They provide critical backend services for donor matching, organ distribution algorithms, data governance, and compliance with federal mandates under the Health Resources and Services Administration. Technical expertise spans secure cloud migration, legacy system modernization on Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, health data interoperability, and regulatory-compliant database management for sensitive medical records. Their unique specialization lies in maintaining the nation’s only federally contracted organ allocation system, requiring real-time precision, auditability, and 24/7 operational resilience. The contractor maintains a deep, long-standing relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs, delivering transplant listing, patient registration, and organ procurement services tailored to VA medical centers’ renal and multi-organ transplant programs. They also support the Department of Defense with transplant service fees and coordination for military medical facilities, while working with HHS and HRSA to ensure OPTN operational compliance and governance. These relationships reflect a trusted, mission-critical role in federal transplant care delivery. Their primary industry focus is on blood and organ banking services under NAICS 621991, with supplementary work in professional scientific services (541990) and administrative consulting (541611). They operate at the intersection of healthcare logistics, clinical data systems, and federal regulatory compliance, positioning themselves as the sole national operator of the OPTN—a uniquely specialized niche in the U.S. healthcare infrastructure. As a non-profit entity headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, with an 8H classification, United Network for Organ Sharing operates under federal contract authority without commercial certifications. Their geographic presence is centralized but nationally impactful, serving as the operational backbone for organ transplantation across all U.S. states and territories through federally mandated coordination.
