Medicare Fee For Service Health Data Analytics Services

The contract for Medicare Fee For Service Health Data Analytics Services is a sole-source, firm-fixed price acquisition awarded to Magpie Health Analytics, Inc. under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with a total estimated value of $1,690,000. The work is performed in Redington Beach, Florida, and supports CMS’s Center for Medicare/Medicare Contractor Management Group through advanced data analytics, including the refinement of performance evaluation measures, development and maintenance of analytical dashboards, projection of cost expenditures, statistical model development, data imputation, and ad-hoc analytical support. A critical and time-sensitive requirement is the transition from legacy SAS systems to Python and SQL on the Snowflake platform, with completion mandated by December 2026, necessitating hands-on training and knowledge transfer to CMS staff. The award is justified under FAR 8.405-6 as a logical follow-on due to the unique, irreplaceable expertise of the current contractor in CMS’s complex Medicare Fee-For-Service environment, including deep familiarity with its data infrastructure and ongoing operational needs during the consolidation of Medicare Administrative Contractors. The contractor’s past performance has been rated as “Very Good” and “Exceptional” in CPARS, which, along with mission-critical continuity requirements, formed the basis for a best-value selection rather than a lowest-priced technically acceptable approach. The contract is set aside for small business, and while no formal evaluation factor weights or inspection criteria are specified, performance is assessed through delivery of functional analytics tools, adherence to system migration timelines, and sustained high-quality output. The contracting office is located in Baltimore, Maryland, with key contacts including Contracting Officer Mark Smolenski, COR Stephen Calfo, and Program Office Certification representative Jennifer Rushanan, all of whom digitally signed the award on August 18, 2025. No detailed line-item pricing, packaging requirements, invoicing procedures, or explicit representations from the offeror are provided in the documentation, and the NAICS code 541611 classifies the work as custom computer programming services.
