The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has issued the statement of work, or SOW, for the Research, Measurement, Assessment, Design and Analysis 3 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
Presolicitation Objectives
The purpose of the issuance is to provide vendors information regarding the requirements under RMADA 3 and allow for the development of appropriate business partnerships to address those needs, according to a presolicitation notice posted Tuesday on SAM.gov.
Contract Requirements
RMADA 3 calls for analytical support and technical assistance activities that will support various programs involving innovative care delivery and payment models as created or derived under current or future health reform legislation. The assistance activities will also support the demonstration efforts for those models.
The assistance activities will take various forms, including support for model design and operations; program, data and environmental analysis; model site implementation monitoring; and survey and data collection design and implementation.
CMS may also ask the contractor to help develop and implement learning systems to bring about accelerated learning, improvement and dissemination of promising practices.
Future RFP
CMS intends to issue task orders under RMADA 3 to meet these requirements, though the agency, as yet, is not calling for proposals.
Comments regarding the SOW may be incorporated into the document’s final version, which will accompany a future request for proposals.
