Under the H-1B registration system, organizations register candidates online with USCIS in the hope that their candidates will be selected. The selection is particular to the sponsoring organization and particular to the candidate, which means that the beneficiary is restricted to being sponsored on the H-1B petition after selection. In addition, for those selected, the H-1B petition must be filed by June 30. In your situation, the date is past and an outside company cannot take up the sponsorship of another organization. Sorry.
