Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals is a civilian sub-agency within HHS that procures contract services supporting its administrative and operational functions. OMHA adjudicates Medicare appeals and administrative hearings; its contracting supports administrative infrastructure, language services, logistics, and related operational needs rather than clinical or direct-beneficiary programs.

OMHA's contract portfolio is minimal and episodic. The office has issued 13 federal contract awards cumulatively since 2015, generating $65.4 million in combined potential value with $26.4 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows 2 awards in 2018, 3 in 2020, 2 in 2022, 1 in 2025, and 3 year-to-date in 2026. Most of the contracts awarded over the last five years are to distinct vendors with single awards each; competitive concentration is highly fragmented, with the top five primes by count holding 83 percent of recent awards but most transactions valued in the low five to six figures. Uptodate, Inc., Idea Language Services LLC, BKM Construction LLC, DH Technologies Inc., and Superior Moving Service Inc. represent the recent activity, though no single vendor has emerged as a repeat prime. The portfolio reflects small-dollar, transactional contracting rather than large platform or IDIQ vehicles.

Set-aside usage is minimal. Seventy-seven percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; 8(a) sole-source awards account for 15 percent, and total small-business set-asides represent 8 percent. This low set-aside mix suggests most contracts are competed open or procured through streamlined methods.

Recent contract opportunities are not recorded in the source data. Given the low transaction volume and episodic award pattern, OMHA does not represent a sustained or high-volume contracting environment. Vendors pursuing work here should monitor GSA schedules, SAM.gov open solicitations, and the HHS contracting office channels for infrequent, modest-dollar opportunities in administrative services, language interpretation, logistics, and facilities support.
