The Global Support Structure

In a contingency, if neither the TRICARE level Primary PV nor Back-up PV can support an order, another Active Primary PV can be called on to fill the requirement

If no relationship exists between the TRICARE level Primary PV nor Back-up PV and a DAPA supplier, another Primary PV can be called on to fill the requirement(SOW page 38, B, a)

In cases of Contract Non-performance, the other Primary PV can be called on to assume a TRICARE level award (SOW 113, Amend 0002)

(Also see MOFs , SOW 7, 36-38 )
