The Measure and Instrument Development and Support (MIDS 2) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle is a comprehensive federal contract administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to support healthcare quality measurement, development, and reporting initiatives. The vehicle provides a structured mechanism for procuring professional services related to clinical quality measure development, evaluation, and implementation across various healthcare settings and programs. Through this IDIQ, CMS contracts with multiple prime contractors to develop, maintain, and enhance quality measurement tools, assessment instruments, and reporting systems that support national healthcare quality improvement efforts.

The task orders under this contract vehicle typically range from $2 million to $50 million, with periods of performance spanning three to five years, predominantly utilizing time and materials and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures. Frequent prime contractors include research and consulting organizations such as Mathematica Inc., Yale New Haven Health System, Acumen LLC, American Institutes for Research, and Health Services Advisory Group, Inc. Task orders cover diverse scopes including electronic clinical quality measure development, patient safety measure maintenance, behavioral health measure evaluation, outpatient and inpatient quality reporting support, and person and family engagement in measure development. While most task orders are not set aside, some are designated for small businesses, with task orders primarily performed in locations such as Phoenix, Arlington, and Fairfax, Virginia. The funding consistently originates from the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to support their broader healthcare quality measurement and improvement mandates.
