OPTN board told HRSA selected GDIT (with Arbor) as patient‑safety contractor; onboarding underway
Summary
Dr. McGee told the board HRSA announced GDIT (partnering with Arbor/Ann Arbor Research) as the new contractor to support patient safety and compliance under OPTN modernization; staff said onboarding is in initial steps and more details will be shared.
Dr. McGee informed the board that the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced a new contractor to serve in the role of patient safety and compliance under the OPTN modernization structure.
"I think, GDIT is the contractor that won, and they're partnering with Arbor," Dr. McGee said, noting that Ann Arbor Research led the discovery contract related to the work. He described the onboarding as being in the initial steps and said the goal is for the contractor to "meet us where we are" and to "hit the ground running." Staff cautioned that many questions will follow and that evaluation opportunities will be available as the work evolves.
Brianna (staff) urged the board that the new contractor should provide rapid, high‑quality service and said staff will communicate more information about what the contract constitutes and how it will be managed. Dr. McGee directed questions about contractor work to standard OPTN contact points and the website.
The announcement does not change OPTN responsibilities; it describes a contracted support role under HRSA procurement. The board will receive further updates as onboarding and evaluation proceed.
