This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format set forth at Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) FAR 12.202(b)(1) (Apr. 20, 2026) [adopted via Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) FAR Class Deviation (CD) No. 2025-09, Amendment 1 (Nov. 3, 2025)]. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This acquisition is exclusively set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns in accordance with RFO FAR 19.106-2 (Feb. 20, 2026) [adopted via HHS FAR CD No. 2026-01, Amendment 2 (Apr. 24, 2026)].

Solicitation number 75F40126R00009 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP) for Contractor-Hosted Fully Integrated Records Facility (FIRF) services.

This posting provides notice that the limited-sources justification (LSJ) for the Technical Support for Payment Systems and Rates procurement is being posted pursuant to GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(3)(i), which requires the ordering activity to publish a notice and post the justification within 14 days after placing an order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold that is supported by an LSJ. The agency requires the continuation of highly specialized ratesetting and related enterprise architecture activities that have been developed, refined, and maintained by Acumen since 2010. Acumen is the only responsible source capable of providing the required services at the level of quality and technical sophistication necessary to meet agency needs at this time. With more than a decade of continuous performance, Acumen has developed substantial institutional knowledge, proprietary analytical tools, and refinements to ratesetting models that are not replicated elsewhere in the market. These capabilities are currently inseparable from the agency's operational workflows and are essential for accurate, timely data production and the execution of rulemaking schedules. The current period aligns with critical milestones in the SAS Conversion and broader enterprise architecture modernization efforts, and introducing a new vendor at this stage would create significant operational and programmatic risk. Transitioning midstream would require reconstruction and relearning of proprietary methodologies, duplication of already-funded development, and revalidation of highly technical processes—all of which would result in unacceptable delays and substantial additional costs. Because the required work is deeply integrated with ongoing modernization activities and the SAS Conversion effort, switching vendors at this time would require extensive re-familiarization, redevelopment of analytical baselines, and re-establishment of complex data linkages. Such a transition would reduce efficiency, waste previously obligated funds, and delay key milestones associated with data validation and model conversion. While the continued Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) task order independently qualifies as a logical follow-on under FAR 8.405-6, the broader justification for continuity with Acumen further reflects the sole-source considerations described above. This acquisition also qualifies as a logical follow-on to the original Federal Supply Schedule order as it was awarded competitively using the General Services Administration (GSA)’s Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) SIN 541611. Continuing the work with Acumen is essential to preserving technical and operational continuity across interconnected workstreams that cannot be separated or re-sequenced without jeopardizing mission-critical deliverables. The ratesetting models, data production schedules, and enterprise architecture components under this contract directly support multiple regulatory and rulemaking timelines. Interrupting performance or onboarding a new vendor would compromise the sequencing and validation of these processes, introducing significant risk to statutory and policy deadlines. A short-term logical follow-on ensures continuity of operations, preserves the value of prior investments, and allows adequate time for full and open competition in 2028. It also gives the agency sufficient runway to develop updated metrics, engage with industry, build internal subject-matter expertise, and design a more targeted and cost-effective competitive strategy. Continuing the work with Acumen is therefore the most efficient and economical approach, and it squarely satisfies the FAR requirement for a logical follow-on acquisition. Please see the Attachments section of this notice for a complete copy of the approved LSJ. Note - This is NOT an active procurement opportunity but is instead a required posting of an approved LSJ subsequent to task order award. | Sole Source / J&A | 541611 | No Set-Aside | 10/02/2026 | Open | Burlingame, CA | |
This posting provides notice that the Limited Sources Justification (LSJ) for the Performance Measurement for the Medicare Advantage Program procurement is being posted pursuant to GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(3)(i), which requires the ordering activity to publish a notice and post the justification within 14 days after placing an order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold that is supported by an LSJ. Section 1859(f)(5) of the Social Security Act (“the Act”) requires that organizations offering specialized Medicare Advantage (MA) plans for special needs individuals have in place an evidenced-based model of care (MOC) with appropriate networks of providers and specialists. In addition, Section 1859(f)(7) of the Act requires that a Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO) offering a specialized MA plan for special needs individuals (i.e., special needs plan, or SNP) be approved by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) based on standards established by the Secretary. This requirement is implemented at 42 CFR §§422.101(f) and 422.152(g) and requires MAOs offering SNPs to have NCQA review and approve the required MOC each SNP submits to CMS on a regular basis. The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a widely used set of health plan performance measures employed by both private and public health care purchasers to promote accountability and to assess the quality of care provided by managed care organizations. NCQA owns the proprietary rights to HEDIS® and the system that collects HEDIS® data. It is the only organization authorized to add quality measurements to HEDIS® and to provide technical assistance to commercial and Medicare health plans and auditors in the use of these measurements. Section 1853(o)(6)(A) of the Act states that the Secretary may require reporting of data under section 1852(e) for, and apply under this subsection, quality measures at the plan level for specialized MA plans for special needs individuals instead of at the contract level. The purpose of this task order is to support CMS in the evaluation and approval of each SNP’s model of care (MOC). As noted above, Section 1859(f)(7) of the Act and 42 CFR §§422.4(a)(1)(iv), 422.101(f), and 422.152(g) require that each MAO offering a SNP must submit a MOC to be approved by NCQA. Please see the Attachments section of this notice for a complete copy of the approved LSJ. Note - This is NOT an active procurement opportunity but is instead a required posting of an approved LSJ subsequent to task order award. | Sole Source / J&A | 541611 | No Set-Aside | 10/02/2026 | Open | Washington, DC | |
