Network of Quality Improvement and Innovation Contractors (NQIIC) IDIQ   5

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is giving notice of proposed contract action for the program entitled "Network of Quality Improvement and Innovation Contractors (NQIIC)."
CMS is making great strides in improving care for Medicare beneficiaries. However, much more work must be done to improve the quality and efficiency of the U.S. healthcare system. Thus, CMS will have an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support quality improvement efforts across settings and programs to maximum impact to healthcare and value to taxpayers, entitled the NQIIC. The IDIQ contract allows for the full spectrum of quality improvement work that is in operation under the current various networks. This work currently includes the QIN-QIO work, the ESRD Network work, the hospital focused large scale improvement work, clinician-focused technical assistance work, and other quality improvement work.

CMS intends to solicit this requirement under a full and open competition. It is anticipated that CMS will award multiple IDIQ contract awards that will have a ten (10) year ordering period. The NAICS code applicable to this procurement is 541618 (Other management Consulting Services) with a size standard of $15 million.
