Blanket Purchase Agreement GS23F0050T-75FCMC21A0002

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to David-James LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, for $5,000,000. The BPA is for the examination of cost reports submitted by cost-based Medicare Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). Under this IDV, CMS has issued multiple firm-fixed price BPA Call contracts to David-James LLC to conduct audits and examinations of cost reports from Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Part D plans. The task orders, which range from $571,140.90 to $762,273.86 in ceiling value, support CMS's administration and oversight of the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D programs. The work involves auditing medical coding practices and examining cost reports from Medicare Advantage plans reimbursed based on incurred costs. No set-aside designations were used for these awards, which are placed against David-James LLC's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. The work will be performed in Nottingham, MD.

This IDV and associated task orders demonstrate CMS's continued reliance on David-James LLC's professional auditing, examination, and oversight services to ensure the integrity and proper administration of Medicare managed care and prescription drug programs. The BPA provides an efficient procurement vehicle for CMS to obtain these specialized services on an as-needed basis over a multi-year period, contributing to the agency's broader efforts to monitor and oversee Medicare Advantage organizations and Medicare Part D plan sponsors.
