Title: Pre-Solicitation Notice for Remote Health Readiness Program (RHRP) 4

Solicitation Number: HT001125R0020

Agency: Defense Health Agency (DHA)

Issue Date: 18 February 2025

1. Description of the Requirement

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for providing medical and dental readiness services to military Service Components (SCs) of the Reserve Components (RCs), Active Components (ACs) enrolled in TRICARE Prime Remote (TPR), DoD Service Civilians, and members of the DHS. This procurement will be conducted as a full and open competition under FAR Part 15 for negotiated procurement.

The mission of the Remote Health Readiness Program (RHRP) is to support and complement the DoD Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) Program in its efforts to promote and sustain a medically ready force throughout the continuum of military operations and deployments. The RHRP is DHA’s primary support for RC and TPR Service Members (SMs). The RHRP provides required IMR (Medical and Dental) services, deployment readiness medical services, physical exams (accession, retention, occupational health, and specialty), and RC dental care. These activities support the Services’ efforts to meet or exceed established DoD IMR standards, deployment health-related initiatives, and Force Health Protection (FHP) requirements and goals. The RHRP supports the RC, TPR services members (Army, Navy, and Marine Corps), U.S. Coast Guard SMs (active duty and Reserve) and re-deploying DoD civilians from participating DoD Agencies.

The Defense Health Agency (DHA), per Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6025.19, is responsible for executing the Reserve Health Readiness Program. DHA Procedural Instruction 6200.06 assigns the Director, DHA responsibility for developing, executing, and managing the DoD’s Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) Program.

The government anticipates awarding a single award contract based on a best value trade-off approach that considers technical capability, past performance, price, key personnel, and small business participation plans.
