The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to award a contract to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., on a noncompetitive basis for up to 6 months of services supporting the transitional Intermediate Management Organization (tIMO). Services include program management, logistics planning, information technology administration, personnel administration, patient safety, quality assurance, risk management, medical management, records management, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliance support.
Section 702 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) mandated a transformation of the Military Health System, including transfer of authority, direction and control of certain military treatment facilities (MTF) from the military services to the DHA. The tIMO oversees the initial transfer of MTFs into the DHA market structure. The tIMO was scheduled to disband following activation of the first four markets on October 1st, 2019. In July, 2019, the agency directed a continuation of tIMO operations in response to leadership concerns with transition readiness. As the tIMO has already begun drawdown of its workforce, it requires immediate support for continued operations. Booz Allen Hamilton supported transfer planning efforts under an existing task order and is well versed on the administrative and programmatic aspects of the tasks required to complete transfer.
Note: For security purposes, the release of DoD awards can be delayed as much as 90 days after the action.
