AI Contract Overview
The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and the Office on Women’s Health, intends to award a sole source follow-on contract to Mathematica Inc. under FAR 6.302-1, citing that Mathematica is the only responsible source capable of sustaining and enhancing the existing HHS Interagency Maternal-Infant Health Outcome Dashboard, which it originally designed and developed. This system, along with its custom data models, software architecture, integrations, and business rules, contains unique institutional knowledge essential to maintaining continuity in mission-critical maternal health analytics and reporting. The contract supports the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Promotion of Optimal Birth Outcomes and requires extensive technical services including advanced statistical analyses, preparation of the Annual Maternal Health Report to Congress, maintenance and enhancement of the dashboard, policy reporting, and coordinated project management across HHS agencies. Market research confirmed that no other vendor can assume these responsibilities without incurring substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays due to the necessity of rebuilding system components, validating methodology, and reestablishing security and compliance controls. The solicitation, identified as 2026-ONC-0040 and classified as a special notice under NAICS code 541611, is not a competitive request but seeks capability statements from other firms solely to determine if competition is viable. The contract’s base period is 12 months beginning September 30, 2026, with four option periods each lasting an additional 12 months through September 29, 2031. Performance will occur primarily at the contractor's location in Princeton, NJ, with telework permitted subject to agency coordination. The contractor must comply with all HHS digital accessibility standards, including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and adhere to strict security protocols including FedRAMP compliance, FIPS 199 and 200, NIST SP 800-53 and 800-171 controls, and HSPD-12 credentialing requirements for personnel needing access to HHS systems and facilities. The contractor is required to submit an Assessment and Authorization package, including a System Security Plan, Security Assessment Report, POA&M, Configuration Management Plan, Contingency Plan, and other documentation within strict timelines after contract award, and must ensure all deliverables are produced in plain language, meet government style guides, and undergo senior editorial review.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office on Women’s Health (OWH), intends to negotiate and award a sole source follow-on contract to:
Mathematica Inc.
600 Alexander Park
Princeton, NJ 08540
This acquisition is being conducted pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1).
The purpose of this acquisition is to provide continued support for the Office on Women’s Health Maternal Health Portfolio, including the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Promotion of Optimal Birth Outcomes. The contractor shall provide professional and technical support to coordinate maternal health activities across HHS, maintain and enhance the HHS Interagency Maternal-Infant Health Outcome Dashboard, develop the Annual Maternal Health Report to Congress, conduct advanced statistical analyses, prepare policy and technical reports, and provide project management and technical assistance supporting Department-wide maternal health initiatives.
The Government has determined that Mathematica Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing the required follow-on services. Mathematica designed, developed, and implemented the existing HHS Interagency Maternal-Infant Health Outcome Dashboard, including its underlying architecture, custom data models, software components, integrations, business rules, and user interface. As the developer of the existing system, Mathematica possesses unique institutional knowledge and technical expertise derived from developing and maintaining the existing dashboard, essential to maintaining and enhancing the operational dashboard while ensuring continuity of mission-critical functions.
Market research conducted by the Government has not identified any alternative source capable of providing these services without substantial duplication of cost and unacceptable delays. Transitioning the requirement to another contractor would require extensive system familiarization, redevelopment of data connections and business logic, validation of analytical methods, and re-establishment of security and compliance controls. Such efforts would significantly increase costs, delay delivery of critical maternal health analyses and reporting, and introduce unnecessary risks to system continuity, data integrity, and ongoing support of HHS leadership and participating agencies.
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any responsible source that believes it possesses the capability to satisfy the Government’s requirement may submit a capability statement with sufficient technical documentation demonstrating its ability to perform the required services without substantial duplication of cost or unacceptable delays.
Responses to this notice must be submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist identified in the SAM.gov notice by the date and time specified therein.
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 considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintain an active registration to be eligible for award.
For additional details regarding the scope of work, required services, and deliverables, refer to the attached Statement of Work.
