The proposed contract will be for a multiple award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The purpose of the Beneficiary and Family Centered Care (BFCC) Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) contract is to improve healthcare services for Medicare beneficiaries through BFCC-QIO performance of numerous statutory review functions, including, but not limited to, quality of care reviews, beneficiary complaint reviews, discharge and termination of service appeals in various provider settings, medical necessity reviews, and Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) reviews. CMS wants to ensure that care provided by the Medicare Program is medically necessary, reasonable, meets professionally recognized standards of care, is provided in the appropriate setting, and complies with certain standards under the EMTALA. CMS intends to solicit this requirement under a full and open competition. It is anticipated that CMS will award multiple IDIQ contract awards that will have a ten (10) year ordering period.

It will be the Offeror's responsibility to frequently check the same site where the solicitation is to be posted for any amendments and/or changes to the RFP issue and closing date.
