- Description
- Pending the availability of funding, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intend to negotiate, on a sole source basis, with Sterling Software (America). CMS will procure up to 100 copies of Connect Direct mid-tier software licenses and maintenance (inclusive of version and release upgrades, software defect correction, and 24x7x365 days phone support) for the Prescription Drug Card Program mandated by Congress. Additionally, CMS may acquire from Sterling Commerce (America), on an optional basis, Web Site Connect:Direct software configuration and distribution support; and Connect:Direct Help Desk support. The software to be acquired will allow the “prescription drug card sponsors” to exchange enrollment and eligibility files with CMS. CMS and 35 of the “drug card sponsors” are already licensed with Connect: Direct software. Connect: Direct software (formerly known as NDM) has been in use at the Agency since 1987. This procurement will allow Connect:Direct software compatibility for CMS and all drug card sponsors. The procurement will be conducted under other than full and open competition, under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1). If no affirmative written documentation is received within (15) calendar days of this synopsis, CMS will proceed with negotiations to issue a contract to Sterling Software (America). Questions should be referred to Peggy Hetrick (410) 786-3011.
