Compliance Support to VT ACO All Payer Model

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is forecasting a contract opportunity to provide compliance support services for the Vermont Accountable Care Organization All Payer Model. This effort is aimed at ensuring adherence to federal regulations, program integrity standards, and reporting requirements associated with the ACO’s participation in the all-payer model, which involves coordinated care and shared savings across multiple payers. The work will likely include monitoring operational practices, conducting audits, developing compliance protocols, and offering guidance to maintain alignment with CMS policies and quality benchmarks. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541611, indicating it falls under management consulting services, and is being managed by the CMS office. Katie Shannahan is listed as the program point of contact for inquiries related to the scope and objectives, while Mark Smolenski serves as the contracting officer responsible for procurement matters. Although the specific location of performance is not defined, the services are expected to support the Vermont ACO’s activities broadly, potentially involving remote or nationwide coordination. No set-aside classification has been indicated, and the opportunity was posted on May 25, 2026, suggesting it is a forward-looking forecast for future contracting action.
