About this vehicle

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services established a Master IDIQ on November 5, 2012, to provide IT infrastructure and services for CMS business systems and data safeguarding. The vehicle has reached the end of its useful life: ordering closed on November 14, 2022, and no new task orders have been awarded since January 13, 2020. This vehicle is no longer available for new business pursuits.

The CMS Virtual Data Center IDIQ supported a broad portfolio of hosting, infrastructure, and enterprise computing services. Task orders executed over the vehicle's lifecycle included Medicare claims processing workloads, the Health Insurance Marketplace platform, Common Working File hosting, Large Scale Data Repository operations, cloud computing infrastructure (particularly for Affordable Care Act systems), enterprise end-user computing services, Baltimore Data Center application hosting, and supporting systems such as the Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System and the MACBIS platform.

Over the 22 task orders awarded between January 2013 and January 2020, Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC dominated the vehicle with 7 orders valued at $1.7 billion combined potential value, followed by Leidos, Inc., with 4 orders valued at $1.3 billion, and Companion Data Services LLC, with 6 orders valued at $714.2 million. General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., and National Government Services, Inc., held 2 orders each. These five firms captured 95 percent of awarded task-order count. All 22 task orders were unrestricted competitive awards; no set-asides were used.

CMS was the sole customer across all task orders, representing 100 percent of the $4.63 billion combined potential value. Task-order values ranged from approximately $7.6 million to $1.24 billion (the Health Insurance Marketplace order), with the majority falling in the $25 million to $400 million range. Firm Fixed Price pricing dominated the portfolio; Time and Materials was used in select cases. By 2020, approximately 93 percent of the combined potential value had been obligated, indicating the vehicle was substantially fully committed before ordering authority expired.

Description
