Fee-for-Service Data Collection System 2 (FFSDCS 2)

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is preparing to award a contract for the operation and maintenance of the Fee-for-Service Data Collection System 2, an automated platform designed to collect, process, and synthesize vast volumes of data tied to Medicare Fee-For-Service payment structures. This effort supports the agency’s need for reliable, scalable, and secure data infrastructure to monitor and analyze payment trends, ensure compliance, and inform policy decisions. The system must handle high-volume data streams with precision and maintain continuous uptime to meet federal operational requirements. This opportunity is set aside entirely for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside program, with the NAICS code 541511 indicating it falls under Custom Computer Programming Services. The contract will be managed by CMS, with Maria Durham serving as the Program Point of Contact and Ysamar Dominique Arthur-hopkins as the Contracting Officer. While the exact performance location is unspecified, the work is expected to support national Medicare operations. The forecast was posted in May 2026, signaling the agency’s timeline for transitioning to this next-generation data collection system.
