The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $8 billion to Optumserve Technology Services, Inc. (doing business as Qssi), a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. This multiple-award IDC, referred to as the CMS Enterprise System Development (ESD) contract, enables CMS to procure a wide range of IT services and solutions from Optumserve, a large business, on an as-needed basis.
Under this IDC, CMS has issued multiple delivery orders to Optumserve, with a total value exceeding $700 million, for services such as data hub development, Affordable Care Act (ACA) testing, enterprise identity management, and financial management system support. These task orders support critical CMS operations, healthcare technology initiatives, and the agency's COVID-19 response efforts. Optumserve's extensive experience in federal IT services and healthcare data analytics positions the company as a key technology partner for CMS in delivering innovative, mission-critical solutions.
