Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC)

★ Member

HHS Sub-Office (regulatory, not a primary buyer) · Updated 2026-04-30

Sets health IT interoperability standards, certifies EHR technology under ONC Health IT Certification, owns USCDI evolution, runs TEFCA implementation through the RCE (Sequoia Project), and enforces information blocking under 45 CFR Part 171.

MMT Read

ONC's procurement footprint is small. Its regulatory leverage is enormous: USCDI determines what data EHRs must exchange, TEFCA determines who participates in the network, and information blocking enforcement determines who pays the penalty. Track ONC for what it enables, not what it buys.
