About this IDV
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Companion Data Services LLC for Virtual Data Center Prime (VDCP) services, effective from November 15, 2012, through November 14, 2022. No set-aside designation was used for this master contract vehicle. Companion Data Services, a subsidiary of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of South Carolina specializing in secure systems development and managed hosting services for the healthcare industry, serves as the prime contractor responsible for delivering infrastructure-as-a-service and hosting environment capabilities to support CMS programs and operations. The contract vehicle established a flexible procurement mechanism through which CMS could issue task orders for various hosting, infrastructure, and telecommunications support services without predetermined ceiling values, enabling responsive procurement of critical IT infrastructure supporting Medicare and Medicaid administration.
Between January 2013 and May 2018, CMS issued six delivery orders under the VDCP master IDIQ totaling approximately $813.9 million, with work primarily performed at Companion Data Services' facilities in Windsor Mill and Milford Mill, Maryland, and Columbia, South Carolina. These delivery orders supported essential CMS systems and initiatives including the Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) infrastructure ($132.1 million), a Continuously Available CMS Hosting Environment ($327.6 million), the Multi-Channel Architecture for Business Information Systems (MACBIS) system hosting ($26.3 million), general IT and telecommunications infrastructure ($190.1 million and $27.3 million respectively), and Network Legacy Router (NLR) hosting services ($10.7 million). All delivery orders were structured as firm fixed-price contracts and did not utilize set-aside designations. These task orders engaged a robust ecosystem of subcontractors including CGI Federal Inc., Ernst & Young LLP, Samtek Inc., and other specialized firms providing program management, cloud engineering, disaster recovery, and infrastructure support services necessary to maintain CMS's critical hosting and data center operations supporting federal healthcare administration.
