About this opportunity

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a two-month bridge contract with TISTA Science and Technology Corporation valued at $2,500,000 to support the Independent Systems Acceptance and Verification for the Exchange (ISAVE) and CCIIO Independent Testing Support Services (CITSS). The justification stems from a protest-related delay in transitioning to a new contractor, Titania Solutions Group, Inc., which was originally awarded a follow-on task order in September 2024 but was subsequently halted due to a GAO protest. The contract will provide professional services for software quality assurance related to Affordable Care Act (ACA) systems and processes hosted on a cloud platform. By awarding the bridge contract to the incumbent contractor TISTA, CMS aims to ensure a smooth service transition and minimize disruptions to its business and technical operations. The contract was awarded on March 23, 2025, with services covering a two-month period focused on independent testing and systems verification.
