About this file
This is a Cancellation Notice for RFQ 1718418 issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Acquisition and Logistics Management, dated May 18, 2026.
RFQ 1718418 has been canceled in its entirety. The cancellation follows a GAO protest (No. B-423471.1) of Order No. 75N97025F00038, which prompted the agency to initiate corrective action through reevaluation of quotations and new award determination. During the corrective-action process, the Government reassessed its requirements and determined that the current solicitation no longer aligns with existing needs. The Performance Work Statement was developed in late 2023, and since that time, the Government's requirements have materially changed due to technological advancements and shifts in the agency's mission and operational needs. The Government consulted with the Office of the General Counsel and determined that cancellation is in its best interest to ensure the solicitation adequately supports current requirements. HHS intends to solicit the current requirement under an updated scope, with any future solicitation to be posted in accordance with applicable procurement requirements. This notice does not constitute a request for quotations, a promise to issue a future solicitation, or a commitment to make an award.

Cancellation Notice – RFQ 1718418
The Department of Health and Human Services hereby provides notice that RFQ 1718418 is canceled in its entirety.
Following award of Order No. 75N97025F00038, the award was protested under GAO Protest No. B-
423471.1. The agency initially elected to take corrective action by reevaluating quotations and making a new award determination. During the corrective-action process, the Government reevaluated its requirements and determined that the current solicitation no longer reflects the Government’s existing needs.
The Performance Work Statement was developed in late 2023. Since that time, the Government’s requirements have materially changed due to the passage of time, rapid advancements in technology, and changes in the agency’s mission and operational needs. As a result, proceeding with award under the current solicitation would not adequately support the Government’s current requirements.
Accordingly, after consultation with the Office of the General Counsel, the Government has determined that cancellation of RFQ 1718418 in its entirety is in the Government’s best interest.
The Government intends to solicit the current requirement under an updated scope. Any future solicitation will be posted in accordance with applicable procurement requirements.
This notice does not constitute a request for quotations, a promise to issue a future solicitation, or a commitment by the Government to make an award.
Thank you for your interest in supporting the Department of Health and Human Services.
Respectfully, Daniel Johnson Contracting Officer U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
