Stephanie Petrone

Stephanie Petrone serves as the primary contracting lead at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Headquarters, where she oversees the acquisition of critical technology and programming services to support national health equity initiatives. Her work directly enables HRSA’s mission to strengthen safety-net providers and expand access to care for underserved populations through the procurement of custom software solutions that underpin organ transplantation systems, workforce development platforms, and maternal and child health data infrastructure. She manages full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to contract award and performance monitoring—with a focus on mission-critical, high-compliance IT systems. Petrone maintains a longstanding and exclusive contracting relationship with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the sole contractor for the national organ transplant matching and data management system. This partnership reflects a deep, mission-aligned vendor relationship built on technical specialization, regulatory compliance, and sustained operational support for federally mandated life-saving infrastructure. Her procurement approach prioritizes continuity, system interoperability, and data integrity over competitive bidding, resulting in long-term, single-source engagements with this critical partner. Petrone’s contracting portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her acquisition strategy, her focus remains on securing technically superior, mission-critical solutions that meet stringent federal health data standards, regardless of vendor size or socioeconomic designation. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), encompassing the development, integration, and maintenance of bespoke software systems for health information exchange, donor-recipient matching algorithms, workforce analytics, and compliance reporting. She specializes in procuring secure, scalable, HIPAA-compliant applications that support complex federal health programs, demonstrating deep expertise in health IT architecture and public health data systems.
