AI Contract Overview

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to award a sole source contract to the American Medical Association (AMA) for conducting the Physician Practice Information Survey over a nine-month period, with a total contract value not to exceed $600,000. This survey, carried out under the AMA's partnership with the Gallup Organization, aims to collect data from approximately 55 medical specialties, including physician and non-physician practitioners, with around 100 usable responses required per specialty. The survey focuses on gathering detailed information related to practice expenses and will involve consultation with The Lewin Group regarding non-physician practitioners. The AMA will provide CMS with practice expense per hour calculations for each specialty, supporting CMS’s financial oversight and policy-making efforts. This notice serves as a market research tool to confirm the sole source nature of the contract and is not a solicitation for competitive proposals. Interested parties may submit written statements of capability but will not receive a solicitation in response. The Government’s decision on whether to proceed without competition will be based on information voluntarily provided, with no compensation for submissions. Responses are due by July 23, 2007, and should be submitted to CMS via mail or email, with all information becoming Government property. The contract action is authorized under FAR 6.302, allowing negotiation with a single source due to the unique qualifications of AMA in this area.
