About this award

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a civilian Department of Health and Human Services component, awarded a definitive cost-plus-award-fee contract to Research Triangle Institute, doing business as RTI International, on August 25, 2025, for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Medical Provider Component (MEPS-MPC). The ceiling value is $54.3 million. No set-aside was used, and the period of performance ends June 30, 2030.

Place of performance is Durham, North Carolina 27713. The MEPS-MPC collects data from medical providers on expenditures for medical services furnished to MEPS Household Component respondents to improve the accuracy of national medical expenditure estimates. The originating pre-solicitation notice, posted October 2, 2024 with responses due October 16, 2024, anticipated a five-year period of performance with a base period and four one-year options. Although the notice sought small business capability statements, it was issued for market research only and was not a solicitation for proposals, and the award was made with no set-aside.

RTI's subcontract activity on the MEPS-MPC effort includes Westat, Inc. and Social & Scientific Systems, Inc., with a third subcontract to Healthcare Resolution Services, Inc., all issued under MEPS-MPC purchase orders in 2025 and 2026.
