Actuarial Service for Military Medical Malpractice Claims

The Defense Health Agency is conducting a Request for Information to solicit actuarial service providers for military medical malpractice claims support, with capability statements due September 9, 2026. The RFI is market research only and does not commit the DHA to issuing an RFP or awarding a contract.

Work will be performed remotely at the contractor's facility. The anticipated period of performance begins around December 2026 and will not exceed five years, consisting of a 12-month base period with four optional 12-month extension periods and one optional 6-month extension.

The contractor must provide expert economic and actuarial assessments to determine potential damages, lost future earnings, offsets, and prepare both initial actuarial reports and rebuttal reports analyzing claimant-submitted economic assessments and Military Department damages calculations. The estimated caseload is 25 cases per year. Actuarial reports and Excel models must be delivered within 30 calendar days of receiving case materials; rebuttal reports within 30 calendar days of receipt; and follow-up clarification responses within 14 calendar days.

The contract manager must have a minimum five years of professional experience in personal injury and wrongful death economic damage assessments and demonstrated expertise in standard actuarial and macroeconomic methodologies. All contractor personnel require background investigations (minimum Tier 3 Non-Critical Sensitive), Common Access Card issuance if accessing DoD facilities or networks, completion of mandatory DHA training, and execution of Non-Disclosure Agreements. The contractor must comply with HIPAA Privacy Rules and the Privacy Act of 1974, maintain a Quality Control Plan, and safeguard sensitive claimant medical histories, tax records, and legal strategy information.

Capability statements are limited to 15 pages and must include administrative information (company name, point of contact, CAGE, NAICS codes, business size status, GSA SINs, applicable contract numbers) and detailed responses addressing organizational capabilities in calculating damages, lost retirement benefits, residual earning capacity, government benefit offsets, and preparing rebuttal reports.
