HHS Modernization Discovery, Prototyping, and Implementation Planning
HHS is seeking a senior-led modernization discovery, prototyping, and implementation-planning engagement through a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside competition. The anticipated 25-week effort consists of a five-week Mobilization and Readiness Phase followed by a 20-week Discovery, Prototyping, and Implementation Planning Phase. Work includes discovery interviews, review of selected HHS workflows, systems, and technical operations, technical and process analysis, prioritization of modernization opportunities, prototype/proof-of-concept development and testing, stakeholder validation, and implementation recommendations/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, supporting documentation, an implementation roadmap, and an executive readout/summary. HHS anticipates issuing one firm-fixed-price purchase order and intends to make award by September 30, 2026; only eligible small businesses under NAICS 541512 will be considered.
