About this vehicle
CMS is operating a master IDIQ established September 14, 2007, with a $8 billion shared ceiling, but ordering closed on September 13, 2017, nearly nine years ago. The vehicle succeeded to the Strategic Partners Acquisition Readiness Contract, awarded in May 2016, signaling a planned transition well before the ordering window expired. This vehicle is no longer active for new awards and should be evaluated only if you hold outstanding task orders with remaining periods or options.
The ESD contract procured planning, business requirements, design, development, test, maintenance, and technical support across CMS's IT portfolio—covering systems integration, application engineering, and technical support. Task orders reveal actual work spanning Medicare claims processing, Medicaid eligibility and payment systems, provider enrollment systems, identity and authentication platforms, data repositories, ACA marketplace components, and healthcare program integrity tools. The 127 task orders issued between December 2007 and January 2017 funded a diverse mix of healthcare IT operations and development.
CGI Federal Inc., Optumserve Technology Services, Inc., Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. captured roughly 81 percent of the combined potential value. CGI Federal led with 23 orders totaling $1.28 billion; Optumserve held 17 orders at $1.16 billion; Northrop Grumman posted 15 orders at $999.9 million; and General Dynamics split across multiple award vehicles for $954.9 million and $559.9 million combined. The long tail of smaller primes (including Data Computer Corporation Of America and roughly a dozen others) fragmented the remaining share. Task-order values ranged widely, from small technical services under $400 thousand to mega-orders approaching $300 million; notable large orders included the ACA/ACO Testing contract at $286.3 million ceiling and Medicare Secondary Payer Systems at $233.4 million. Nearly all 127 orders carried no set-aside, with a single competitive 8(a) exception. Most were cost-plus (award fee, fixed fee, or incentive), with firm fixed price used for smaller scoped work. Place of performance was not specified in the source materials, though work supported CMS operations nationwide.
Description
