FAR 6.302-5, Statute 36 U.S.C. 1503 provides that full and open competition need not be provided when it is necessary to award the contract to a particular source when an Executive Agency is working with the National Academy of Science. Since the intent is to procure this on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov, Contracting Opportunities. The applicable NAICS code is 541720 with a $28 MIL size standard. The PSC is AN11. The authority for this action is FAR 6.302.1-1 Only One Responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may contact the Contracting Officer via email at annmarie.stewart@va.gov regarding this procurement. The determination to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Data Analysis for Quality, Safety & Oversight of the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Transplant, and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) ProgramsThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is awarding a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to the University of Michigan / Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center (UM/KECC) for data analysis and reporting services critical to the oversight of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Transplant, and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) programs. This action is justified under specific federal acquisition regulations due to the unique and specialized expertise of UM/KECC, with no other entity capable of fulfilling the required functions.

The contract requires the contractor to produce a comprehensive suite of detailed, timely, and standardized reports on dialysis facilities, transplant programs, and OPOs, including facility-specific profiles, state and regional comparisons, outcome rankings, and composite data for survey planning. These reports are essential tools for CMS and state agencies to monitor performance, ensure compliance, and enhance the safety and quality of care across the national kidney disease treatment and transplant network. All deliverables must be distributed securely and promptly via a dedicated website to support oversight stakeholders including surveyors, state authorities, providers, and the public. Reports include monthly initial transplant program updates, organization-specific OPO analyses, state-ranked outcomes lists with public-facing reversed top-performer versions, and nationally aggregated statistics that highlight variations in practice and patient outcomes. The work is governed by a detailed Statement of Work and is critical to CMS’s mission of accountability and transparency in renal and transplant healthcare. The solicitation, identified as 75FCMC26R0057, was posted on July 10, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, and is administered by the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management within the Department of Health and Human Services, based in Baltimore, Maryland.
