SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

B.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OFSERVICES

The purpose of this contract is to obtain a Part A/Part B (A/B) Medicare Administrative Contractor (hereinafter referred to as “the contractor” or “MAC” or “A/B MAC”) to provide specified health insurance benefit administration services, including Medicare claims processing and payment services, in support of the “traditional” Medicare program (also known as the Medicare fee-for-service or FFS, program) for Jurisdiction L. Jurisdiction L includes the following states and areas: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, including Part B services in Arlington and Fairfax counties in Virginia and the city of Alexandria, Virginia.

B.2 CONTRACT TYPE

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) anticipates awarding a Cost Reimbursement type contract. In accordance with FAR 16.102 (b) Policies, “Contracts negotiated under Part 15 may be of any type or combination of types that will promote the Government’s interest, except as restricted in this part (see 10 U.S.C. 2306(a) and 41 U.S.C.

254(a))”. The primary pricing arrangement is anticipated to be Cost-Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF).

B.3 AWARD FEE

The amount of award fee the Contractor earns, if any, will be based upon an evaluation by the Government of the contractor’s performance in accordance with the Performance Evaluation Award Fee Plan (Attachment J.7). The CMS Fee Determination Official (FDO) will determine the amount of award fee earned by the contractor for the evaluation period. The determination of the amount of the award fee for the evaluation period is a unilateral decision made solely at the discretion of the FDO. Upon receiving written notification from the FDO of the amount of award fee earned for the evaluation period, the Contractor may submit an invoice for the earned award fee. The Government may unilaterally change the Performance Evaluation Award Fee Plan at any time. However, any revisions to the evaluation factors in the Performance Evaluation Award Fee Plan shall be presented to the Contractor prior to the evaluation period in which it will be used.

The award fee evaluations will be performed on an annual basis with the actual evaluation beginning in the month immediately following the evaluation period. The award fee available for each period shall be a portion of the total award fee pool available for the entire contract period (see Section G.18).

*Note: A sample Performance Evaluation Award Fee Plan (Attachment J.7) is provided. The final Performance Evaluation Award Fee Plan will be provided at time of contract award.

B.4 ESTABLISHED COST AND AWARD FEE

B.5 TASK DIRECTIVES

The Contracting Officer may use individual Task Directives with specifically defined scopes and schedules to direct the contractor to perform special projects. Task Directives may also be issued to request a special administrative or user support services project. This mechanism will be used on a project-by-project basis and will be incorporated into the contract through the Changes clause (FAR 52.243-2 Alternate 1).

Task Directives issued under this contract may be fixed price or cost reimbursement. The contractor is required to establish separate cost accounts for each Task Directive issued and to segregate those costs in their vouchers.
