About this opportunity
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source for a macroeconomic consulting contract. This Special Notice, posted on July 25, 2025, with a due date of August 11, 2025, falls under the Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities NAICS category and carries no set-aside designation. The contract establishes specific compatibility and constraint requirements to support CMS's analytical framework for economic projections and health sector modeling. The opportunity requires specialized consulting services that integrate with CMS/OACT's existing analytical systems while providing comprehensive macroeconomic forecasting capabilities. The contract is structured to support critical agency functions including National Health Expenditures projections and Medicare Trustees report preparation.
The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to secure access to the Long Term Inter-Industry Tool (LIFT 2100) subscription and establish a detailed structural model of the U.S. economy capable of producing 10-year economic projections with rapid turnaround capabilities. The contract spans an initial base year from September 2025 to September 2026, with four additional 12-month option periods extending through September 2030, requiring annual delivery of economic projection support each September. Contractors must demonstrate proven experience in adapting economic models to specific agency requirements and maintaining capability to support both short-run National Health Expenditures projections and annual Medicare Trustees report production. The system must ensure multidimensional consistency with historical data, align productivity projections with Bureau of Labor Statistics series, and incorporate health sector growth assumptions into broader economic forecasting. Eligible contractors must possess the technical capability to maintain continuous analytical support over multiple years while adapting to evolving agency needs with consistent annual projection deliverables.
Notice text
The macroeconomic consulting contract establishes specific compatibility and constraint requirements for CMS's analytical needs. Compatibility requirements include providing access to the Long Term Inter-Industry Tool (LIFT 2100) subscription that must integrate with CMS/OACT's analytical framework, along with a detailed structural/sectoral model of the U.S. economy capable of making 10-year economic projections and adapting to agency needs with short turnaround times. The system must maintain multidimensional consistency with historical aggregates, ensure multifactor productivity projections align with historic Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) series, and develop Trustees-consistent disposable personal income projections while projecting economy-wide implications of assumed U.S. health sector growth paths. Key constraints encompass schedule limitations with an initial Base Year contract period from September 2025 to September 2026, annual delivery requirements each September for 10-year NHE projection support, and four additional 12-month option periods extending through September 2030. Performance constraints mandate demonstrated experience in adapting economic models to specific agency requirements, capability to support short-run National Health Expenditures (NHE) projections and the annual Medicare Trustees report production, while maintaining the ability to incorporate health sector growth assumptions into broader economic forecasting with consistent annual projection support over multiple years.
