IT IS STRICTLY A REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ON A DRAFT STATEMENT OF WORK AS PART OF MARKET RESEARCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION, PART 10, FOR A POSSIBLE FUTURE TRICARE CONTRACT AS A FOLLOW-ON TO THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT CONTRACT. The Department of Defense (DoD), TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) is developing the requirement for health care technology assessment services which include full in-depth assessments and short assessments on specific focused health care topics. The Government estimates the contractor will be required to complete one or two assessments, either full, in-depth assessments, or short assessments, per month.

DoD does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the survey submitted in response to the market analysis nor pay for costs associated with responses received. Comments are solicited as to whether the language included in the draft SOW is sufficiently descriptive/detailed and broad enough in scope, includes applicable and necessary standard industry/commercial practices, and establishes reasonable objectives and obtainable standards that can be measured and used in conjunction with possible performance incentives. Comments/suggestions on additional aspects of the draft SOW are encouraged and may also be submitted. All comments/suggestions made should be stated in generic/broad and nonproprietary terms. A summary of the Government's needs are basically as follows: The contractor shall utilize published refereed scientific literature and shall assess individual health care technologies, to include the full range of medical or surgical devices, services or procedures; behavioral health devices, services or procedures; dental health devices, services or procedures; or the use of pharmaceuticals for purposes other than that approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Information received in response to the SOW part of this market survey will not be considered confidential and may be incorporated to applicable portions of the SOW during the formal Request For Proposal (RFP). Comments relative to the SOW must be submitted to TMA through the TMA website, using the ‘Question and Answer' link. Your comments will be considered whenever received; however we request your comments as soon as possible.
