Sparksoft will maintain and update an interactive screening, monitoring and alerting system over a four-year period in support of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The company said its work on the Advanced Provider Screening program is under a $118 million award CMS made on the General Services Administration’s STARS III governmentwide acquisition contract.

Sparksoft will help CMS enhance APS process by providing the agency with management and technical expertise. The company will also conduct Agile transformation and DevSecOps delivery of modern, cloud-based digital services to support system capabilities.
Efforts are aimed at supporting multiple APS capabilities such as ensuring system operations complies with all CMS information technology policies and cybersecurity regulations, improving data quality from public and private sources and enhancing workflows and business processes for agency staff and external stakeholders.
