About this vehicle
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services established this Master IDIQ on September 16, 2013, to develop, test, refine, revise, maintain, implement, and publicly report quality healthcare-specific measures. Ordering closed on September 15, 2018, making this vehicle inactive for new task orders.
The vehicle is no longer viable for new pursuits. Ordering expired seven years and ten months ago, and a successor IDIQ was awarded on September 4, 2018. The portfolio reflects a mature vehicle in administrative closeout: 33 task orders were issued over five years, with activity skewed heavily to 2014 (21 orders) and declining sharply thereafter (5 orders in 2015, 2 in 2016, 1 each in 2017 and 2018). Combined potential value reached $570.1 million, with $539.2 million obligated (95% of potential). Nearly all work is complete or closed; most recent task-order completion dates fall between mid-2018 and mid-2019.
The vehicle funded purely CMS operations. All 33 orders carried no set-aside designation, and all obligated to a single customer agency (CMS). Task-order values ranged widely, from $507,676 (PACE measure development) to $82.1 million (outcome/efficiency measures development). Typical awards ran $4 million to $25 million. Pricing was predominantly Cost Plus Fixed Fee, with isolated Firm Fixed Price orders. All work performed under CMS's direct oversight for healthcare quality measurement and reporting infrastructure supporting programs including MACRA, hospital and outpatient quality reporting, hospice and LTCH care measures, electronic clinical quality measures, and value-based incentive programs.
Five firms dominated the portfolio by combined potential value: Yale New Haven Health Services Corporation ($107.4 million across 2 orders), Health Services Advisory Group, Inc. ($93.5 million, 5 orders), Mathematica Inc. ($81.6 million, 4 orders), Research Triangle Institute ($60.9 million, 3 orders), and Acumen LLC ($36.8 million, 2 orders). These five held 67% of combined potential value across 16 total distinct primes, indicating significant concentration among a handful of healthcare measurement and analytics specialists.
Description
This program promotes the quality of healthcare by emphasizing major strategies for evaluating and improving care. Under multiple task orders, the contractors will assist CMS in developing, testing, refining, revising, maintaining, implementing, and publically reporting quality healthcare-specific measures.
