About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Railroad Retirement Board awarded a cost-plus-award-fee definitive contract with a $156.4 million ceiling to Palmetto Gba, LLC for Specialty Medicare Administrative Contractor (SMAC) services on June 14, 2024. No set-aside was used. Performance is in Columbia, SC 29203, and the contract runs through September 30, 2034. The originating pre-solicitation was posted June 4, 2021, with responses due September 15, 2021.

Modification P00012, issued September 2, 2026, revised the Section I clause to update contracting officer's representative point of contact information. The prime is a subsidiary of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of South Carolina and carries a non-certified small-business posture.

Service Contract Inventory data shows FY2025 invoicing of $19.4 million across 125 FTEs and 260,844 contractor hours, with a derived government-paid rate of $74.56 per hour. The FY2024 figures were $941 invoiced, 0.0 FTEs, and 11 contractor hours, at a derived rate of $89.68 per hour, so the rate declined year over year. In FY2025, three subcontractors performed 3% of contractor hours, and the awardee is reported in a prime role. The source flags these rates as approximate blended prime-and-subcontractor figures.
