40+ of the top RFP/RFQ Targets for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2023

Over the past few months, the OS AI team has received more than 100 inquiries from CMS-focused companies inquiring and researching potential RFQ/RFPs that stand to be competed at the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2023.  

Here we share more than 40 potential opportunities that are drawing the most interest and/or inquiries, as well as the CMS-focused consulting firms that are increasingly viewed as a top partner or competitor option (and/or potential employer). The list list includes several large opportunities, with contracts and tasks covering everything from IT Modernization, Measures Development, and Cloud Operations, to Data Analytics, Application Development and Program Integrity.  

Note: Some of the requirements included here will be awarded in 2024, but the focus for this list is on those opportunities that are likely to be competed in the next calendar year.  

Dance Lightly. Do know that some of these potential requirements will NOT end up being recompeted in 2023 for any number of reasons (e.g., contract consolidation, extension, cancellation, etc), but this list can serve as a great foundation as you build out your pipeline and start to have teaming discussions.
