About this forecast
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is forecasting a 12-month sole-source bridge contract for EQRS Portal II services, a recompete procured through a BPA call with limited sources, with an estimated award date of May 3, 2027. The work covers cloud migration, stabilization, and multi-cloud resilience, and is directed to incumbent ICF/SemanticBits under Option Period 3 (9 months) and Option Period 4 Transition Out (3 months). The forecast justifies the incumbent's selection by its EQRS-specific expertise, institutional knowledge, established stakeholder relationships with 18 ESRD Networks, SSA, EDB, UNOS, and KCER, and its security protocols for mission-critical functions serving 950,822 active ESRD patients.
The estimated award value range is $50 million to $100 million, with the current fiscal year value range at $10 million to $20 million, and the period of performance begins May 27, 2027 for one year. The set-aside is to be determined.

Under this BPA, CMS awarded a $36.3 million firm-fixed-price task order for EQRS Portal II development and enhancement and a $24.6 million time-and-materials task order for Website Open Data Discovery services, and the forecast references existing task or BPA call number 75FCMC24F0001.
