Blanket Purchase Agreement GS23F0288N-75FCMC21A0004

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) valued at $6.5 million to Davis Farr LLP, a certified public accounting firm based in Irvine, California, effective from September 16, 2021, through September 15, 2026. This multiple-award BPA establishes an indefinite delivery vehicle for conducting examinations and audits of cost-based Medicare Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) cost reports. The contract operates under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and does not utilize any small business set-aside provisions. Davis Farr LLP performs these services primarily from its Irvine, California location, with some performance occurring at other locations including Nottingham, Maryland, as needed to fulfill individual task order requirements.

Under this BPA, CMS has issued multiple firm fixed-price BPA calls totaling approximately $1.59 million to date, including task orders for Fiscal Year 2025 MCO Cost Report Audits ($199,855), MCOs Cost Reports Audits ($247,010), Examinations of Cost-Based MCOs ($1,002,340), and Cost Plan Audits ($140,330). These task orders engage Davis Farr LLP to conduct independent financial audits and examinations of Medicare Advantage Organizations and Prescription Drug Plans, ensuring program integrity and compliance with Medicare cost reporting requirements. The work performed under this BPA supports CMS's Financial Services Group and specifically the Division of Financial Audit and Resolution in providing financial oversight of cost-based Medicare Managed Care Organizations, which is a critical function for validating the accuracy of MCO cost submissions and protecting Medicare program funds.
