- Description
- IT Support Solicitation PDF The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (“MedPAC,” or “the Commission”) is a small (<40 full-time equivalent positions), independent non-partisan legislative branch agency that advises the Congress on issues related to the Medicare program. The Commission currently maintains its own internal computer network, consisting of several servers (e-mail, data, telecommunications, et cetera ; more complete detail below), approximately 40 wired workstations, and internet hardware / software that also serves to permit Commission staff to access MedPAC’s network remotely from a variety of personal devices. MedPAC’s information technology (IT) architecture is largely maintained by a single IT manager on staff. Over the last decade, Congressional need for MedPAC’s analytic work products have put tremendous demands on our computer network. We currently house quantities of individually-identifiable health information (subject to data protection requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) disproportionate to the size of the agency (we estimate we currently work with ~12 terabytes of online data residing on our network). Further, as workload has increased, our staff are now expected to be available on a nearly “around the clock” basis to handle existing standing assignments or to respond to ad hoc requests from the Congress. In recent years, these increasing demands have strained our network resources to their limits, resulting in reliability issues or system crashes that have at times put our ability to perform mission-critical activities at risk. Within the last year, MedPAC has implemented a number of system upgrades to address these issues: Also regular scheduled maintenance of servers and equipment and regular firmware upgrades. Expectations of the contractor are as follows. 1) ongoing remote monitoring of our network’s operations, and 2) ad hoc backup end-user support and elevated technical support for MedPAC’s IT manager
