The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is awarding a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to the University of Michigan / Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center (UM/KECC) to provide comprehensive data analysis and reporting services for the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Transplant, and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) programs. This acquisition is justified under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), 41 U.S.C. §3304(a)(1), and FAR 12.207, as UM/KECC is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s unique requirements, and the services are classified as commercial under FAR 2.101, making the contract subject to FAR Part 12. The primary objective is to produce and distribute authoritative, publicly accessible reports that summarize patient and facility characteristics, outcomes, and performance metrics across dialysis facilities, transplant programs, and OPOs at state, regional, and national levels. These include facility-specific Dialysis Facility Reports, monthly Initial Transplant Program Reports, Transplant Composite Reports for survey scheduling, OPO-specific reports, state and regional summaries, and rank-ordered outcomes lists—including alternative versions designed for public transparency. All deliverables must be posted to a secure CMS website and delivered on a strict schedule to support oversight activities by CMS, state agencies, and healthcare providers. The contract is structured as a severable, firm-fixed-price agreement with a base period of performance running from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2027, and includes four optional one-year extension periods through September 29, 2031. The prime contractor is responsible for furnishing all personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities necessary to execute the Statement of Work, which mandates strict adherence to Section 508 accessibility standards for all electronic deliverables and requires compliance with federal information security requirements such as FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-171 for Controlled Unclassified Information, and HIPAA for Protected Health Information. Contractors must implement robust conflict of interest protocols, ensure subcontractors comply with the same restrictions, and flow down key clauses including those on personal identity verification, whistleblower rights, and the prohibition of subcontractor sales to the government. All proposals must be submitted electronically by August 13, 2026, and evaluated based on technical understanding and approach, personnel qualifications
