About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency issued a sole source justification and award notice on January 16, 2026, for a bridge contract with Mercer US LLC (Cage Code: 3SSS8) under contract number 47QRAA21D004A to provide Health Plan Innovation Support (HPIS) Task 1 services. The awarded contract, executed on January 15, 2026, covers a one-year performance period from January 15, 2026, through January 14, 2027, and encompasses rate study methodology development and health plan comparison analysis support for TRICARE Health Plan products, including analysis, methodology development, and financial management expertise. The justification for the sole source award under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B) cites the prevention of a prolonged service lapse and identifies Mercer as the only current source capable of providing the unique capabilities required for developing sophisticated healthcare delivery system payment methodologies, building upon the company's previous competitive award under contract HT940220F0009. The bridge award was necessitated by staffing changes and new leadership priorities within the Professional Services Contracting Division that impacted the re-solicitation effort. While the specific award amount is not disclosed in the redacted justification, the contract falls under NAICS code 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and PSC code R707 (Support- Management: Contract/Procurement/Acquisition Support).
