Venture Belonging to Native American Company Secures Agreement to Assist in HRSA's Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Modernization Project

In a significant move to revolutionize the organ procurement and transplantation system, Summome Native Ventures, a joint venture between [our website] and PCI Government Services (PCI-GS), has been awarded a contract by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This partnership comes as HRSA launches the OPTN Modernization Initiative, a project aimed at better serving the needs of patients and families.

The contract will provide HRSA with support for planning, designing, and coordinating the modernization of organ procurement and transplantation operations, governance, and technology. Summome Native Ventures will offer operational planning, strategic communications, and organizational change management consulting services under this award.

[Our website], a leading global provider of consulting services to the public sector and commercial markets, has demonstrated its expertise with the Best in KLAS® award it has won four times in 2023. The PBCI enterprise, which includes PCI-GS, boasts holdings in excess of $2B, annual revenue of ~$1.5B, and over 7,000 employees.

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians, based in Alabama and the only federally recognized Tribe in the state, own PCI-GS, a certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business. Stephanie A. Bryan, Poarch Band of Creek Indians chair & CEO, expressed a deep commitment to helping enhance the current organ transplantation system through Summome Native Ventures.

Scott McIntyre, CEO of [our website], stated that Summome Native Ventures is in a unique position to provide perspective on the complex policies, governance, stakeholders, and technologies influencing the modernization of the organ donor system. The award builds upon [our website]'s and PCI-GS' combined decades of experience in strategic planning, management support, and execution of large modernization and organizational transformation efforts across federal agencies.

The five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is focused on five key areas: technology, data transparency, governance, operations, and quality improvement and innovation. Summome Native Ventures' services are aimed at driving improvements in equity, patient outcomes, and patient safety. The modernized organ procurement and transplantation network is expected to streamline processes, enhance data accessibility, and ensure a more equitable system for all involved.
