MACPAC Awards Research Contracts to Five Firms for 2026–2035
The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission awarded Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts to five research organizations—Abt Global, Acumen, American Institutes for Research, Altarum Institute, and a fifth unnamed firm—covering fiscal years 2026 through 2035. These contractors will support MACPAC's statutory mission to provide policy analysis and recommendations to Congress on Medicaid and CHIP. The awards follow a solicitation posted to SAM on May 7, 2025. MACPAC research informs federal policymaking on access, payment, and program design affecting managed care plans.
MACPAC research and recommendations directly shape congressional action on Medicaid managed care policy, including rate-setting methodologies, quality measurement, and program integrity requirements that affect MCO operations and reimbursement.
