MACPAC Awards 10-Year Research Contracts to Five Firms for Medicaid Analysis

The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission awarded indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contracts to five research firms—Abt Global, Acumen, American Institutes for Research, Altarum Institute, and one additional organization—covering fiscal years 2026 through 2035. These contractors will provide analytic support, data analysis, and policy research to inform MACPAC's congressional recommendations on Medicaid and CHIP. The awards position these firms as primary sources of evidence and analysis that will shape federal Medicaid policy recommendations over the next decade, including managed care delivery system design and payment policy.
