A research request was recently provided to OS AI from a Columbia, MD-based woman-owned small business technology consulting firm seeking details related to an upcoming Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services RFP to drive testing efforts for this system which provides Medicare beneficiary information to Medicare providers, suppliers, and their authorized representatives for the purposes of determining beneficiary eligibility. If the last competition, which drew 17 bids, is any indication, there will be a lot of interest in this one.  

We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details; 2) some key points of contact; 3) related pursuit/capture data; and 4) the odds of the incumbent winning the contract back.    

Competitive Details related to the predecessor contract: 

  • Funding Agency: Department of Health and Human Services / CMS  
  • Incumbent: Sparksoft 
  • Contract Vehicle: This was last competed using the CMS SPARC.  
  • Contract Details and Spend to Date for Prior Contract – Award ID 75FCMC19F0002 

OS AI Note: The most recent forecast states that the next iteration of this contract will be competed as a small business set-aside action on GSA MAS using NAICS 541512. This contract was recently added to the May forecast, and the RFP is tentatively expected to be released in early September. The incumbent contract is set to expire in May of 2024.

Firms drawing the most attention:    

Included below is a list of more than three dozen large and small companies we have noted as drawing the most views by Government and industry leaders on the OrangeSlices AI consultant directory over the past six weeks and that bring direct past performance and/or related relationships in support of CMS.   

** An Elev8 GovCon Honoree, noted for a corporate culture that demonstrates excellence, making the company a beacon for talent, for partners, and for clients.            

We cannot and will not speculate here as to the reasons for the increased interest, but whether it is a company evaluating them as a potential partner; a federal acquisition leader doing their due diligence; or a consultant weighing their next job move, this group of companies has been receiving increased interest.    

If you are a small or large business with capabilities and socio-economic status that might support any of these efforts, comment below and let others know you are interested.
