Limited Source Justification for Beneficiary Claims Data API and Data at the Point of Care API Bridge Contract

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, under the Department of Health and Human Services, has established a firm-fixed-price bridge contract with Fearless Solutions, LLC for the operation and maintenance of the Beneficiary Claims Data (BCDA) and Data at the Point of Care (DPC) Application Programming Interfaces. Valued at 4,665,569.03 dollars, this sole-source award was justified by an urgent and compelling need to ensure continuity of operations while a GAO protest remained pending. The contract covers approximately twelve months of professional, severable services to facilitate the secure sharing of sensitive patient health data with healthcare providers. The contractor is responsible for managing critical tasks including supporting ongoing development, overseeing authorization and credentialing, and providing essential DevOps and security or incident support. Additionally, the scope of work involves maintaining communication and providing technical support to an extensive end-user community. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 541511 and is managed by the Office of Acquisition and Grants Management based in Baltimore, Maryland.
