The Mitre Corporation, a non-profit Federally Funded Research and Development Center headquartered in McLean, Virginia, received a $2.04M delivery order award from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on June 15, 2024, with a completion date of December 14, 2025. This contract utilizes a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure and is issued under the CMS Alliance to Modernize Healthcare (HEALTH) FFRDC program, a $2B indefinite delivery vehicle that has generated over $200M in delivery order issuances. The contract requires Mitre to establish an Advisory Committee on Air Ambulance Quality and Patient Safety in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and produce a report to Congress providing recommendations across five specific areas of air ambulance quality and safety. The work scope was modified to descope certain activities and extend contract performance by six months. No set-aside designation applies to this award, consistent with Mitre's status as a large non-profit organization.

CMS selected Mitre to lead this specialized initiative supporting the agency's mission to ensure quality and safety in emergency healthcare transportation. The HEALTH FFRDC program leverages Mitre's extensive expertise in healthcare system modernization, data analytics, and strategic advisory services to support CMS and other HHS agencies including the National Institutes of Health, FDA, and CDC. The advisory committee work and congressional recommendations will inform federal policy and oversight of air ambulance operations, contributing to improved patient safety and service quality across the nation's emergency medical transport infrastructure.
