CMS Awards Enterprise Master Data Management (MDM) Contract to Next Phase

We are pleased to announce that CMS awarded Next Phase a 5-year contract to sustain and transform the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Enterprise Master Data Management (eMDM) systems and services. The eMDM task order was competed under the SPARC IDIQ and set-aside for a Woman-owned Small Business (WOSB).

This award builds on our success implementing and supporting industry-leading commercial solutions for MDM across multiple industry sectors, and our experience gained over the past 7 years supporting 18 different CMS and Department of Labor programs. Coupling our MDM expertise and experience with a great teaming strategy enabled Next Phase to bring a compelling value proposition to CMS.  

The eMDM contract scope includes the operations and maintenance of the MDM systems and processes, new development to support emerging federal legislative mandates, and adding more data sources and system feeds across CMS as this Shared Service grows. Additionally, an enhancement task will be completed to modernize the MDM platform to revolutionize data integration and access for data consumers, reduce time for enhancements, and increase ease of operations and maintenance.

Next Phase Awarded NOAA/NESDIS Multi-Year RF Engineering and Analysis Follow-On Contract

The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (DOC/NOAA) office of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Systems (NESDIS) has awarded Next Phase a follow-on contract to conduct comprehensive engineering studies of federal and commercial satellite communications systems. The studies will be used to determine the feasibility of sharing radio frequency spectrum between existing Federal users and commercial cellular network carriers.

Our partner, Alion Science and Technology, joins us as our valuable partner. Alion brings more than 40 years of experience in spectrum engineering, as well as numerous years of experience supporting NOAA and other government agencies with the challenges of spectrum sharing.

Next Phase Awarded NOAA/NESDIS Multi-Year RF Engineering and Analysis Contract

The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (DOC/NOAA) office of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Systems (NESDIS) has awarded Next Phase a multi-year contract to conduct comprehensive engineering studies of federal and commercial satellite communications systems.  The studies will be used to determine the feasibility of sharing radio frequency spectrum between existing Federal users and commercial cellular network carriers. Spectrum sharing is becoming an increasingly important mode of operations across both government and commercial satellites during space-to-earth communications (“downlinks”). These real-time downlinks are received by NOAA, other Federal agencies, and non-Federal users who process the data to provide important weather warning, forecasting, or monitoring services such as performed by the National Weather Service (NWS).

Awarded Amtrak Business Intelligence Contract

Next Phase has been awarded a subcontract to support the Amtrak Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing contract at Amtrak.  Next Phase provides services for business intelligence, data modeling, Informatica ETL, ETL payload scanning to meet recent NIST guidelines, data warehousing and application development under this contract.  Next Phase currently supports the CMS Business Intelligence, Extract & Load (BI/ETL) contract for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as well as 16 other CMS contracts which encompass similar work.

Next Phase Awarded NOAA Engineering Contract

The Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (DOC/NOAA) has awarded Next Phase a contract to map spacecraft-to-end user data flows and users needs for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) program. This effort will inform requirements and provide a comprehensive understanding of user impacts as they relate to RFI in a shared spectrum environment.  Our partner, Alion Science and Technology, joins us as a valuable partner.  Alion brings more than 40 years of experience in spectrum engineering, as well as numerous years of experience supporting NOAA and other government agencies with the challenges of spectrum sharing.
