From Washington Technology:
Maximus has lost an incumbent contract at the Social Security Administration after the company saw its protest denied by the Government Accountability Office.
The company has held the Ticket Program Manager contract since at least 2015. But this time around, Cognosante won the contract and Maximus took its challenge to GAO. Maximus argued that the evaluation of proposals was not conducted properly.
According to the GAO protest docket, the Maximus protest was denied Aug. 6. ...
The Ticket Program Manager contract is worth $79.6 million and runs for five years. Cognosante and Maximus were the only two bidders on the contract, according to the Federal Procurement Data System. ...
Maybe they can make it so people understand it. Good idea, poorly understood, implemented and practiced.
ReplyDeleteNearly $80 million wasted no matter the contractor. Poorly conceived in Congress, poorly executed and marginally successful in RTW achievement. Trying to get beneficiaries who can't work to work is and will always be a waste..... Anyone on SSDI can decide on their own if they can try it and the TWP is there to protect them, but the whole Ticket program is a bust.
