About this opportunity
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services intends to award a limited-source follow-on task order to Duty First Consulting LLC under GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract GS00F221CA for continued Marketplace Operations, Communications, and Quality Assurance (MOCQA) support services to the Centers for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.
The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C), logical follow-on to an original competitive FSS order. CMS determined that Duty First Consulting possesses unique institutional knowledge and expertise that cannot be efficiently transferred to another contractor without significant risk to mission-critical operations and increased costs. The continuity requirement is driven by ongoing system migration from legacy platforms (SPIDR, PM Community) to the modernized Marketplace Plan Management System (MPMS) Module scheduled through 2028, the Plan Management Modernization Initiative, implementation of Working Families Tax Cut Legislation, Oklahoma's anticipated transition to a state-based exchange, and continued support for the Marketplace Operations Coordination Center and Form 1095-A production.
The period of performance runs from August 15, 2026, through August 14, 2028 (24 months total), consisting of one 12-month base year, one 12-month option year, and a three-month transition-out period. The contract type is Time and Materials with rates already determined fair and reasonable under the Federal Supply Schedule. Upon completion, CCIIO plans to re-compete the requirement under the GSA MAS with an anticipated award at the end of the 24-month period.
Notice text

Additionally, functions supported include the oversight and management of other Marketplace activities that impact consumers, issuers, states, and other stakeholders.
