CMS intends to negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to ABT Associates to provide a Subject Matter Expert for support for the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act) and fulfill the stipulations and mandates as set forth in section 1899B of Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (SSA), specifically to support the standardized patient/resident assessment data requirements. A justification and approval is currently being processed as it has been determined that only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
Responses are due by August 24, 2018.
