About the company
Palmetto GBA, LLC (a division of Palmetto Gba, LLC), a subsidiary of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of South Carolina, operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) delivering Medicare and Medicaid administrative services, claims processing, and healthcare program management to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and other federal health agencies. The vendor competes in the full-and-open marketplace with no set-aside designations across its portfolio and carries a non-certified small-business posture.
CMS dominates Palmetto GBA's customer footprint at a scale uncommon in federal contracting. The top three customer agencies account for 88% of recent awards by count and 96% of combined potential value: CMS funds 59 awards totaling $16.98 billion in combined potential value, the Railroad Retirement Board funds four awards worth $395.7 million, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service funds five awards worth $388.6 million. This concentration reflects Palmetto GBA's specialization in Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) and Specialty Medicare Administrative Contractor (SMAC) services, a market segment where the vendor holds durable, multi-year relationships.
Palmetto GBA's largest awards include a $1.294 billion MAC Jurisdiction M definitive contract with CMS (issued September 30, 2022, extending through August 31, 2029) covering claims processing, provider relations, and financial integrity for Medicare Part A and Part B across four states plus home health and hospice services in 16 additional states, invoicing $189.8 million in FY2025 across 1,241 FTEs; a $725.2 million MAC Jurisdiction J/B definitive contract with CMS (issued September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2031) for claims processing and provider enrollment supporting Medicare and Medicaid operations, with FY2025 invoicing of $69.4 million and 459 FTEs; and a $156.4 million SMAC definitive contract with the Railroad Retirement Board (issued August 19, 2024, through September 30, 2034) for health insurance benefit administration, invoicing $19.4 million in FY2025 with 125 FTEs. Recent CMS delivery orders on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule include an $18.4 million BPA call for Competitive Bidding Implementation Contractor (CBIC) program support through February 2028, a $16.9 million delivery order for pharmaceutical manufacturer invoicing and third-party administration through August 2028, a $47.1 million delivery order for the Customer Service Front End System through May 2029, and a $22.6 million delivery order for DMEPOS pricing, data analysis, and coding support through July 2028.
Palmetto GBA places work across GSA's Multiple Award Schedule (36 task orders, $832.7 million combined potential value), The Professional Services Schedule (11 task orders, $195.7 million), an Indefinite Delivery Contract numbered 500010051 (9 task orders, $784.1 million), and the Provider Enrollment and Oversight IDIQ (2 task orders, $66.2 million). SCI-reported invoiced revenue from federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $1.31 billion across FY2022–FY2025 (prime records: $313.7 million in FY2022, $330 million in FY2023, $336.5 million in FY2024, and $332.7 million in FY2025), reflecting a relatively flat trajectory with workforce scaling to roughly 2,087 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $71.85 per hour to a median of $102.39 per hour and a 90th percentile of $160.94 per hour, indicating mid-level administrative and professional labor composition typical of healthcare claims processing and program management work. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 9 percent of total contractor hours, with Palmetto GBA naming 116 subcontractors across its prime contract base. Subcontract prime work comes from Mathematica Inc. (provider enrollment services), Deloitte Consulting LLP (program integrity modeling and analytics), and CGS Administrators, LLC (MAC infrastructure and statement-of-work services).
Four awards (combined potential value $94.4 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. Palmetto GBA's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 139 active categories with hourly rates from $36.76 to $375.89 per hour across education levels from high school to doctorate, with no security-cleared roles offered; category breadth reflects the vendor's orientation toward healthcare administration, data analysis, and IT support work rather than cleared federal IT modernization or defense programs.
