Task/Delivery Order Number: HT9402-14-F-0006

The bridge action is needed to avoid a lapse in service. The current task order may not be extended after July 24, 2024 as the NIH contract does not allow performance under task orders to exceed 10 years.

Additionally, Military Health System (MHS) staff, the commercial pharmacy industry, DHA Program Integrity (PI), and Government agencies external to DHA will be negatively impacted because they rely on the data provided from the pharmacy data warehouse for analysis relating to Congressional reports involving pharmacoeconomics, utilization, trending, fraud waste and abuse, and, outcomes research…
