CMS sole-source LOINC codes from Regenstrief Institute for assessment data.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to award a sole-source contract to the Regenstrief Institute for LOINC codes used in assessment data elements. The procurement covers the licensing and maintenance of LOINC terminology, which is essential for standardizing health assessment data across CMS programs. The justification cites the unique nature of LOINC as a de facto standard and the lack of alternative sources. The contract period is not specified, but it involves ongoing support and updates. Only the Regenstrief Institute can provide the required codes and maintenance.
