HL7 Benefactor Membership Renewal

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration is pursuing a sole-source contract for an HL7 Benefactor Membership Renewal through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The procurement seeks membership with Health Level Seven International, an ANSI-accredited standards developing organization located in Ann Arbor, MI, to obtain maximum voting rights and participation in electronic health information exchange standards development. The contract will be classified under NAICS code 541990 for professional, scientific, and technical services, using simplified acquisition procedures. Interested parties must submit capability statements electronically to Stephanie Hebert by December 18, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST, including pricing details, DUNS number, TIN, and business size certification. The evaluation will focus on HL7's unique capabilities as the sole provider of these specialized membership services.

The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation and will be awarded to Health Level Seven International as the sole source vendor. The membership provides 12 voting members, comprehensive access to industry information, and discounts on training and conference fees, with a size standard of $19.5 million. The contract will enable ONC to participate directly in creating standards and policies for health information exchange, leveraging HL7's extensive network of over 1,600 members from more than 50 countries. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the membership renewal represents a strategic investment in health information technology standards development. The contract term appears to be for a standard membership period, typically one year, allowing continued engagement with this critical standards organization.
