- Description
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intend to contract on a sole source basis with IBM for the completion of the development and implementation of the National Medicare Utilization Database (NMUD) and the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS). This is not a solicitation. This is a notice of intent to contract with IBM. CMS is using the exception to full and open competition described in FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii) to procure IBM?s services. This exception to full and open competition allows the Government to contract with the original contractor for follow-on development of a major system. IBM, through previous separate procurements, has developed the NMUD and MSIS, but significant effort remains to finalize the development and implementation of full versions of the systems. Both systems are DB2 Very Large Databases (VLDB). The contract will acquire IBM?s services to complete their development of the two VLDB?s and fully implement them in the CMS enterprise data warehouse architecture. CMS requires additional DB2 based functionality to be implemented before these databases can truly support CMS?s national-level, rigorous relational environments. The proposed contract type is Cost Plus Fixed Fee. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition citing the authority provided by FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii) has been prepared. Interested parties must submit complete cost and technical information by the response date established above. Email or fax responses are not acceptable. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be reviewed solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, which is extremely unlikely considering the exception to competition that we are using in the JOFOC. See Note 22. Direct questions to Barbara Brunstetter at 410/786-7577.
