The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a civilian federal agency, awarded the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences (AIR), a non-profit research organization, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) under the Research, Measurement, Assessment, Design, and Analysis 2 (RMADA 2) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The $294,117,647 RMADA 2 IDIQ contract provides CMS with a range of analytic support and technical assistance services for models and demonstration programs, including supporting model design, implementation and operations, conducting analyses, assisting with application reviews, monitoring progress, designing surveys, and obtaining data.
Under this IDIQ, CMS has issued several task orders to AIR, including a $28.9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order to provide implementation and monitoring support for CMS's Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) Access Model, a $4.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order to measure and monitor care for the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Advanced Initiative, a $5.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order to develop supplemental payment reporting requirements and guidance, and a $23.5 million time-and-materials order to provide customer and program support services for the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). These task orders leverage AIR's expertise in program evaluation, data analysis, and evidence-based intervention development to assist CMS in these various healthcare initiatives.
