About this opportunity
SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is seeking a single-source contract exemption for kidney transplant services effective September 24, 2026. The State Comptroller's Office approved a CRER (Competitive Reasons Exemption Request) on August 7, 2026, permitting SUNY DHSU to procure directly without competitive bidding.
SUNY DHSU received a kidney for its Kidney Transplant Program and requires expedited contracting authority to proceed with transplant procedures. The single-source exemption reflects the time-critical and non-fungible nature of organ procurement — a kidney cannot be delayed pending competitive solicitation. Place of performance is Kings County, New York.
