CHANTILLY, VA, USA, September 30, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Citizant, Inc., an SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Business, has been awarded a $6 million, 5-year task order from the Internal Revenue Service to continue application maintenance and enhancement on the Branded Prescription Drug system, part of the IRS’s legislative mandate under the Affordable Care Act. The competitive task order was issued under the CIO-SP3 Small Business contract vehicle. — Alba M. Alemán
Citizant has been maintaining and enhancing BPD – the first ACA application deployed to production by the IRS – since 2012. BPD collects, integrates, and analyzes data for thousands of prescription drugs from 200+ pharmaceutical companies and subsidiaries, as well as prescription purchasing data from government agencies and healthcare entities such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and TRICARE. Citizant implemented an innovative, algorithm-based design that isolated business rules from application code, which enabled faster updates in response to legislative changes and reduced enhancement costs. BPD has calculated, assessed, and managed the collection of $20 billion in fees between 2015 and 2020 to fund ACA initiatives.
“Citizant is honored to be trusted with the continued sustainment of BPD, alongside our other IRS programs in support of ACA and DevSecOps,” said Alba M. Alemán, Citizant’s CEO.
Citizant has also partnered with the IRS to create the Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, which automatically builds, tests, and delivers high-quality code for production for more than 110 IRS applications. Citizant worked with the IRS to create the patent-pending CI/CD Template Framework, which enables application developers to manage their pipeline configurations independently. This innovative approach accelerates the onboarding of projects to the CI/CD pipeline and makes the pipeline more flexible and resilient.
