CMS awards follow-on contract for Provider Statistical & Reimbursement (PS&R)/System for Tracking Audit & Reimbursement (STAR)

Notice ID: 220851
Award Number: GS35F281DA
Task/Delivery Order Number: 75FCMC220032

The cloud migration effort and transition out will be separate CLINs with transition out being optional.”

“This need exists because, as explained above, the migration effort will only be partially complete by the current end date of March 2022 and cannot be handed off to a new contractor midway through without significant risks, delays, and costs…”
