马克西姆斯对联邦政府提起诉讼，要求重新竞标医疗保险合同

Maximus (NYSE:MMS) has filed a lawsuit against the federal government over a rebid of a HHS Contact Center Operations 1-800-MEDICARE and Federal Marketplace contract.
The provider of government services says that CMS is rebidding the contract two years into the nine-year term with a requirement for a labor harmony agreement.
"CMS recognized our ability to perform when they awarded us this contract initially and again by recently extending the contract for another year," VP, Public Relations Eileen Cassidy Rivera, said in a statement. "Yet, at the same time, the Department is pursuing a re-procurement that causes great uncertainty for the contact center employees they rely upon. This unprecedented decision is unnecessary, improper, and as our lawsuit highlights, violates established law."
Maximus noted that its lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, follows a September 2024 ruling that partially sustained the company's pre-award protest, and required HHS to redraft the labor harmony requirement. "We believe there is merit to contesting HHS’s procurement authority as it violates federal contracting laws," Maximus said in a news release.
