About this opportunity
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for expert witness services to support their defense of a legal challenge to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The contract, awarded to The ACI Group, Inc. under FAR 6.302-2 for unusual and compelling urgency, is valued at $63,800 and requires the vendor to prepare a report by April 21, 2025. CMS conducted abbreviated market research and identified this small business contractor through web inquiries and direct industry contacts, selecting them based on their ability to deliver expert witness services within an extremely compressed timeline. The procurement represents a new requirement with firm-fixed pricing and an anticipated 3-month base period. The sole-source justification was predicated on the urgent need for specialized expert testimony to support CMS's legal defense, with the contract (75FCMC25C0005) formally awarded on April 1, 2025.
