MACPAC Awards 10-Year Survey Data Analysis Contract to SHADAC

The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) has awarded a 10-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) at the University of Minnesota for survey data analysis covering fiscal years 2026–2035. The contract will support MACPAC's ongoing analysis of Medicaid and CHIP access, enrollment, and coverage data. SHADAC specializes in health insurance coverage surveys and state-level data analysis. This contract ensures continuity in the data infrastructure that informs MACPAC's annual recommendations to Congress on Medicaid policy, payment rates, and program design.
