HHS Modernization Discovery, Prototyping, and Implementation Planning

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (ASA), Immediate Office (IO), is issuing this competitive Request for Quotations (RFQ) as a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside for a senior-led modernization discovery, prototyping, and implementation-planning engagement. This competitive RFQ follows the earlier FY26-ASA Notice of Intent. Market research and responses to that notice demonstrated a competitive small-business market. A response to the earlier notice is not, by itself, a quotation under this RFQ. Firms that responded to the earlier notice may incorporate specific unchanged capability information by reference as described in the attached RFQ. The anticipated 25-week engagement consists of a five-week Mobilization and Readiness Phase followed by a 20-week Discovery, Prototyping, and Implementation Planning Phase. Performance includes discovery interviews and working sessions; review of selected HHS workflows, systems, and technical operations; technical and process analysis; prioritization of modernization opportunities; development and testing of prototypes or proofs of concept; validation with HHS stakeholders; and preparation of implementation recommendations and plans. Required outputs include an integrated work plan, current-state assessment, prioritized modernization opportunities portfolio, technical recommendations, agreed prototypes or proofs of concept, implementation plans for HHS-selected opportunities/prototypes, supporting technical and operational documentation, an implementation roadmap, and an executive readout/summary. The attached RFQ contains the complete scope, quotation instructions, evaluation factors, pricing schedule, and applicable terms. HHS anticipates issuance of one firm-fixed-price purchase order. The Government intends to make award by September 30, 2026.
