HHS Grants QSMO and GSA Establish New Government‑Wide Acquisition Pathway for Modern Grants Management

WASHINGTON - June 8, 2026 - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in partnership with the General Services Administration (GSA), today announced the launch of the Grants Management Special Item Number (SIN) under the Grants Quality Service Management Office (QSMO). The Grants Management SIN is a new streamlined and government-wide procurement vehicle for federal agencies to access pre-vetted and modern commercial grants management solutions and services through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS).

"The launch of the Grants Management SIN marks a major advancement in how the federal government modernizes and manages its grantmaking infrastructure," said Gus Chiarello, Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources at HHS. "By partnering with GSA to mature the Grants QSMO Marketplace into a government-wide acquisition vehicle, we are making it easier for agencies to procure modern grants management IT, reduce fraud waste and abuse, and improve outcomes for federal programs."

Vendor solutions and services on the Grants Management SIN must meet Grants QSMO-defined capabilities and adhere to government-wide grants data standards. This ensures that the Grants Management SIN drives interoperability, improved visibility into grants data, and alignment with the President's Management Agenda objective to "consolidate and standardize systems, while eliminating duplicative ones."

The Grants Management SIN will also be available to eligible state, local, tribal, and non-governmental organizations through GSA's Cooperative Purchasing Program, extending the benefits of standardized, high-quality grants management solutions to critical grants mission delivery partners.

Applications for the Grants Management SIN are now open through the GSA MAS. Vendors offering grants management solutions and services are encouraged to apply to gain access to a government-wide customer base and position their offerings within a standardized, trusted procurement option for federal agencies.
