- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to procure the services of multiple contractors to conduct general research, analysis, demonstration and survey activities relating to Medicare, Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) issues related to uninsured populations, and other aspects of CMS program responsibilities. CMS is the Federal agency responsible for the operation and oversight of the Medicare program and the Federal participation in the State-operated Medicaid and State Child Health Insurance Programs. CMS' mission is to promote the timely delivery of appropriate, high quality, cost-effective health care to program enrollees, who include the nation's aged, disabled, low-income families and children and special needs groups. To help accomplish this mission, CMS has broad authority for the planning, analysis and research, implementation, and evaluation of demonstration projects. This includes conducting surveys intended to provide information to assist in the resolution of major health care financing issues, the assessment of the quality and appropriateness of services delivered to its program beneficiaries, and the development of new methods and approaches for the administration of its programs.
