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.

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).
