FYI, here's a NASA page about ISS transition: https://www.nasa.gov/faqs-the-international-space-station-tr...

Quick summary (avoiding duplicating points other posters have already made):

* NASA's current plan for post ISS operations is to not be in the LEO space station business. NASA wants to buy LEO manned services if required from commercial operators (the same way NASA has left the business of delivering cargo and humans to the ISS). NASA will focus manned operations effort on beyond LEO.

* NASA has submitted an RFI asking for commercial interesting in re-suing major components of the ISS and says that it received no viable submissions.

Of course the haven't received any viable submissions. Pretty much anything space-related are one-off specialized extremely costly components not used anywhere else. And there's like two people knowing how to build them, and they are already employed by NASA
