Research Demonstration and Information System IT Development (RDIS)

This Master IDIQ is closed to new orders and unsuitable for pursuit. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded the Research Demonstration and Information System IT Development vehicle to support CMS's Office of Research, Development, and Information in executing full-lifecycle IT system development and maintenance tasks; the last date to place orders was September 30, 2015, a decade and nine months past.

The vehicle established September 30, 2010 with a shared ceiling of $100 million generated nine task orders through September 2012, concentrating activity in 2011 when five orders were awarded. All nine orders closed or completed by 2017. The combined task-order potential value reached $27.5 million, with $27.4 million obligated (100% of combined potential value), signaling the vehicle exhausted its practical utility or funding allocation within the first two years of ordering eligibility.

Four prime contractors received awards. The Signature Consulting Group, LLC captured the largest share with two orders valued at $18.4 million combined, representing 67% of total potential value. Cormac Corporation held two orders worth $4.9 million. Newwave Telecom and Technologies, Inc. secured three orders totaling $3.5 million. Edaptive Systems, LLC received two orders for $697 thousand. All orders funded CMS programs exclusively; no other agency placed task orders under this vehicle.

Task orders ranged from $168 thousand to $18.2 million, with completion dates extending to 2017. Orders addressed web development, data navigation tools, quality measure reporting, and CMS performance management systems, most priced as cost-plus-fixed-fee. Eight of nine orders carried no set-aside designation; one was competitive 8(a). The vehicle's early exhaustion and complete closure preclude new prime or subcontractor entry. This vehicle has no current ordering activity and no successor vehicle identified in the source material.

The Office of Research, Development, and Information (ORDI), an organization within CMS, provides leadership in producing information and analysis to help shape current and future directions of CMS programs and related policy decisions. This Master IDIQ is a mechanism to support ORDI's IT objectives by including tasks for all aspects of the IT System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This assemblage of tasks will guide each project to provide support for the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of all current IT systems and any future IT system that ORDI is directed to develop and manage.
