About this vehicle
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services established this Master IDIQ on May 28, 2015, to provide instructional development, field instructors, website management and maintenance, training support, and editorial services for the National Surveyor Training Program; ordering closed on May 31, 2020, and the vehicle is no longer active for new task orders.
The vehicle is dormant. The last task order was awarded on September 15, 2017—over eight years ago—and all seven task orders under the IDIQ have completed performance. Combined task-order potential value reached $66.4 million, of which $56.6 million has been obligated (85%). Activity was front-loaded: five orders awarded in 2015, one in 2016, and one in 2017, with the ordering pace declining sharply after the initial year.
Work centered on long-term care and hospital surveyor training development, training delivery support, and associated content dissemination. Task orders funded curriculum development, field instructor support, audio-visual production, and training guides targeting both long-term-care and non-long-term-care survey processes.
Competition was limited. Three primes shared all awards: Hendall Inc. (two orders, $46 million combined potential value) held the largest share, followed by Arcsource Group, Inc. (three orders, $17 million), and The Signature Consulting Group, LLC (two orders, $3.4 million). All customer activity sourced to CMS; no other federal agencies placed orders. Roughly 86 percent of orders carried no set-aside designation, with one competitive 8(a) order rounding out the mix.
Task-order values varied widely, from $452.5 thousand to $35.6 million. Most awards used cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing; three employed firm-fixed-price structures. The largest single order—a $35.6 million integrated surveyor training program to Hendall Inc. awarded September 2017—represented more than half the vehicle's combined potential value.
Pursuit of work under this vehicle is not viable; the ordering period has expired, all task orders are closed, and no new orders may be placed.
