- Description
- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to add an additional option period to contract 500-02-0001 with Arkansas BlueCross and BlueShield (ABCBS) on a Sole Source basis. This contract provides software maintenance services to suport the Arkansas Part A Standard System (APASS). It was awarded on a sole source basis to ABCBS as they developed the APASS and have been solely responsible for its maintenance and enhancement. This contract was awarded with a base and one year option period during which time fiscal intermediaries (FI) utilizing the APASS would transition to the Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS). Delays in the transition schedule have resulted in a need to extend the current contract to allow for completion of FI transitions. Contracting for an additional option period of software maintenance services is an interim strategy not expected to exceed December 31, 2004. It is being done to ensure maximum effective use of the existing APASS until the remaining transitions are complete and fully implemented. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposal.
