How to bid on National ALS Registry Outreach and Awareness Services for HHS
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), is seeking outreach and enrollment services for the National ALS Registry. This work involves promoting the registry, educating patients, and facilitating enrollment in 29 specific states and the Sacramento area.
The services include helping patients access the registry website, providing educational materials, and using social media to reach persons with ALS, their families, caregivers, and researchers. While the agency intends to award this as a sole-source contract to the ALS Association, other interested organizations can submit responses for consideration.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This opportunity was published on September 02, 2026. The deadline for submitting responses is September 17, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET. All responses received within 15 days of the notice's issuance will be considered by the government.
It is important to submit your response by the deadline. The government will use the information received to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, though the decision to not compete this proposed contract remains at their discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily suited for organizations with expertise in professional outreach, education, and awareness campaigns, particularly those with experience in the healthcare or patient advocacy sectors. Firms with established networks and relationships within the ALS community in the specified states would be particularly relevant.
Given the sole-source intent, organizations responding should be able to demonstrate unique qualifications or capabilities that could challenge the government's initial determination that only the ALS Association can fulfill the requirement.

Practical tips for a competitive response
Even for a sole-source notice, a well-prepared response can be beneficial. Clearly articulate your organization's unique qualifications, infrastructure, and experience relevant to ALS patient outreach and registry enrollment. Highlight any existing patient and provider relationships, research engagement, or credentialing authority that aligns with the agency's needs.
Focus on demonstrating how your organization can effectively provide continuous outreach, education, and awareness to persons with ALS, their families, caregivers, and researchers in the specified states. Provide concrete examples of past successes in similar programs, especially those involving facilitating access to online portals or distributing educational materials. Ensure your email submission is concise, professional, and directly addresses the requirements outlined in the notice.
