An OPO is a Federally designated nonprofit organization responsible for coordinating organ donation and transplantation in a specific geographic area. There are currently 59 OPOs serving the United States and Puerto Rico. In addition to identifying potential donors and obtaining consent where necessary, the OPOs are responsible for the evaluation, preservation, allocation, recovery, and transport of donated organs.
