Quick Summary
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, has published a Limited-Sources Justification for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Claims Processing. This document explains the rationale for awarding a sole-source bridge order to the incumbent contractor, General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), to ensure continuity of services during a transition period.
Purpose & Scope
This justification outlines a proposed follow-on action for professional services supporting the DMEPOS claims processing system. The primary purpose is to cover a critical four-month transition period, preventing disruptions in DME services until a new contractor can be fully onboarded. The work involves maintaining the existing DME Claims Processing System.
Contract Details
- Action Type: Follow-on Order, Time and Materials (T&M) contract type.
- Incumbent Contractor: General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT).
- Authority: Justified under FAR 8.4 as a logical follow-on to a competitively awarded GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) order (GS-35F-694GA/75FCMC26F0029, awarded Feb 9, 2026, to Feb 8, 2031).
- Rationale: Awarding to GDIT is deemed the most economical and efficient approach due to their unique system knowledge, avoiding the significant costs and disruptions associated with a new contractor replicating existing work. Market research was not conducted for this specific bridge due to its nature as a logical follow-on.
- Period of Performance: Intended to cover a four-month transition-out period.
- Place of Performance: Primarily in Virginia (VA 22042).
