CMS awards contract for Execution of risk-based scenario planning and response to COVID-19

Notice ID: 202125

Contract: 75FCMC20C0048

The purpose of the logical follow-on contract is to provide the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with support to develop, plan, and perform risk-based scenario planning and response exercises that assess and mitigate potential program and operational risks associated with performing mission essential functions while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current task order, GS-10F-0253V/75FCMC20F0029, was awarded as a sole source award in accordance with FAR 8.405-6 Urgent & Compelling and has a period of performance of March 24, 2020 through September 23, 2020. The contract will support CMS/OA to identify, define and prioritize scenarios with the COVID-19 workgroup. These scenarios will focus on the potential for negative risks associated with vulnerabilities or weaknesses that may arise while trying to execute on mission essential functions while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the contractor will support prioritization of outcomes, mitigation planning and execution, and organizing responses from stakeholders.

The unprecedented nature of this COVID-19 pandemic and the potential further disruption necessitate an agency-wide response effort to update and execute existing response mechanisms, and to design new interventions to meet these challenges. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is uniquely positioned to begin this urgent work immediately. BCG has extensive experience at CMS supporting strategic initiatives within the Office of the Administrator over the last year and a half. Most recently, within the past six months BCG has stood up the initial pandemic response and risk management efforts and worked with CMS in the evolution of the public health emergency in order to deploy support against the most critical needs of the agency. Over this time BCG has gained a thorough understanding of CMS strategic priorities, operations and has successfully delivered complex services within CMS’ portfolio of work and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As this contract is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic we do not anticipate future requirements, but if a similar requirement arises, every effort will be made to compete it to the maximum extent possible.
