Fresh Squeezed Daily: HHS CMS CCSQ Quality Rating Systems support opp

A research request was recently provided to OS AI from a women-led behavioral and social science research specialist seeking details related to an upcoming Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services RFP for a contract to support the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality’s Quality, Safety & Oversight Group (QSOG).  

We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details provided by the requestor; 2) some key points of contact; and 3) related pursuit/capture data.   

The Ask: Please provide details related to the planned recompete of the Developing Quality Rating Systems contract that was recently posted to the April CMS forecast. CMS provided very few details.  

Competitive Details (if known) related to the predecessor contract: 

  • Funding Agency: Health and Human Services / CMS / CCSQ 
  • Incumbent: Abt Associates
  • Contract Vehicle: This was last competed using GSA FSS using NAICS 541611. There were no other bidders. The most recent forecast states that this will once again be “GSA Competitive” but additional details are limited.   
  • Expected Competition Date: TBD – this contract was recently added to the April forecast, and it is expected to be recompeted in FY 2023. The incumbent contract is set to expire in August of 2023.  
  • Contract Details and Spend to Date for Award ID 75FCMC18F0064. 

OS AI Note: CMS is typically consistent about providing details related to timing and incumbent details when it is a recompete. We cannot speak to why they did not share that information in this instance. Look for more updates in May, but several key points of contact are included below to help firms try to better understand timing. Some of the known subcontractors identified on this contract include Telligen, Westat, and TMF Health Quality Institute
