Private Marketscan Commercial Health Insurance Claims Database(Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source)

The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Office of Acquisition and Grants Management, has issued a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Merative US L.P. under FAR 6.302-1. The objective is to obtain a license for the Private Marketscan Commercial Health Insurance Claims Database, providing access to data from 1998 through the most recent available year via a secure data sharing portal. The scope of the data includes commercial claims with standard classification codes such as ICD-9, CPT, DRG, and NDC, as well as cost-sharing, utilization, demographic identifiers, and claim payer plan type information. The contractor is required to provide comprehensive technical support, including a data dictionary, documentation on database construction, and Section 508 compliance support to ensure all files meet ICT accessibility requirements. A critical quality assurance mandate requires the contractor to notify the Contracting Officer's Representative of any data quality issues and provide a remediation plan within three business days of identification. The place of performance is located in Baltimore, Maryland, and the primary point of contact for the action is Contract Specialist Kristy Hollobaugh.
