Research, Measurement, Assessment, Design, and Analysis (RMADA) 3 IDIQ

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is forecasting the Research, Measurement, Assessment, Design, and Analysis (RMADA) 3 IDIQ contract, which will support a wide range of technical and analytical services essential to evaluating and improving healthcare programs under Medicare and Medicaid. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 541720, indicating a focus on research and development in the social sciences and humanities, and is intended to secure long-term contracting capabilities with qualified vendors capable of delivering high-quality research, data analysis, assessment frameworks, and design solutions. The contract will likely serve as a flexible vehicle for acquiring specialized expertise in areas such as outcome measurement, program evaluation, survey design, and policy analysis to inform decision-making across federal health initiatives. The contract opportunity is managed by Monica Thorpe as the Program Point of Contact and John Cruse as the Contracting Officer, both reachable through their CMS email addresses. Performance is anticipated to be nationwide, without a designated primary location, reflecting the broad scope of work that may span multiple states and federal sites. Although the procurement is still in forecast status as of May 2026, with no solicitation number yet issued, interested parties should prepare for potential future solicitations that will detail specific task order requirements, delivery timelines, and performance metrics. The absence of a set-aside designation suggests this opportunity will be open to all eligible small and large businesses unless specific preferences are announced in a future solicitation.
