In May 2006, a Special Notice was posted announcing that one-on-one meetings would be held in June 2006 to discuss the development of the third round of TRICARE managed care support contracts. The purpose of the current special notice is to advise interested parties of Department of Defense (DoD), TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) plans for the follow-on procurement of its current Managed Care Support (MCS) contracts which conclude in March 2009. TMA has developed requirements and is now preparing a draft solicitation for the follow-on contracts. After publication of a separate special notice, TMA expects to release a draft solicitation for industry comment in May 2007. After review and revision, a sources sought notice will be published announcing a formal solicitation. In the meantime, TMA is currently making a variety of Military Health System (MHS) data available to interested parties for informational purposes. MHS data will be available in two different levels of detail and will be made available using two separate media. First, summary level data is now available on the TMA industry forum website linked to this notice. TMA expects to add or to periodically update the data posted on the webpage; therefore, all interested parties should check back frequently for updates. Second, detail level data files will also be available to potential sources. Ordering instructions for this level of data are posted at the TMA Industry Forum webpage. Due to the size and content, detail level data sets can only be provided on external hard drives and will require payment of a processing fee of $1,500.00. To obtain detailed level data the person(s) or party requesting it must complete the Non-Disclosure Agreement provided by TMA; and return it, along with a signed check made out to Treasurer of the United States, to TRICARE Management Activity, ATTN: Laura Morris, 16401 East Centretech Parkway, Aurora, CO 80011-9066. Upon receipt, the detail level MHS data package will be sent to the requester. It is anticipated that detail level data will be updated; so upon receipt of an external drive, recipients should download the data on-board and mail the drives back. Potential sources may pose questions regarding data under the Questions & Answer (Q&A) tab on the TMA Industry Forum webpage. TMA will post both the data questions and the TMA responses on the website. Only questions regarding data will be considered at this time.
