About this opportunity
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Limited-Sources Justification Notice on March 27, 2026, to extend an existing contract for Medicare Payment System Modernization (MPSM) Product Strategy services. The contract, originally awarded to Flexion on September 6, 2022, provides product strategy and product management subject matter expertise, including strategic recommendations to leadership, collaboration on product development initiatives, risk identification and mitigation, backlog prioritization, and product roadmap development to support CMS's transformation of Medicare's claims processing system. CMS justified the limited-source extension under GSAM 538.7104-3(b)(iii) logical follow-on authority, citing the need for continuity of operations and specialized expertise during a critical modernization period, while the agency pursues permanent federal employee hiring to eventually insource the work. The extension is valued at $174,883.10 for a six-month period from March 6, 2026, through September 5, 2026, bringing the total contract value to $1,182,285.40 against the original contract value of $1,178,752.41. This extension will maintain project momentum on essential Medicare payment system infrastructure changes and ensure compliance with statutory deadlines.
