# CMS Seeks Fraud-Prevention Contract Input

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is seeking industry input through a request for information (RFI) on approaches and contract structures for future fraud, waste, and abuse prevention work. Responses to 26 questions are due November 4, 2026. CMS expects to use the feedback to develop a future RFP covering earlier fraud detection across provider, beneficiary, Medicaid, and managed-care workflows, including potential use of AI, data analytics, and identity-assurance tools.

- Companies interested in shaping the future opportunity should submit RFI responses by **November 4, 2026**; the RFI is an input opportunity, not a contract award or RFP.
- Contractors can use their responses to describe relevant capabilities and recommend workable contract structures for fraud prevention across the identified CMS workflows.
- GDIT and CLEAR are among the industry entities represented in the extracted information; companies developing analytics, AI, or identity-assurance solutions may find the planned RFP relevant.
