# HHS Cancels Modernization Procurement

HHS canceled Solicitation OMAS-01-2026 and its associated award on October 28, 2026, following a protest and government review. The cancellation applies to the total small-business set-aside for Modernization Discovery, Prototyping, and Implementation Planning support; HHS said the action does not constitute an admission regarding the protest’s merits. No further submissions will be accepted or evaluated, and performance under the award is no longer authorized.

- Small-business contractors should treat the solicitation and associated award as inactive; the original planned award and performance start date was September 30, 2026.
- HHS identified no replacement procurement in the notice. Contractors interested in the requirement should check HHS and SAM.gov for a revised or re-competed solicitation.
