Third Party Collection Program

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has published a Special Notice regarding a sole-source bridge award for the Third Party Collection Program. Posted on January 14, 2026, this notice announces the DHA's intention to award a contract to Hamilton Enterprises, LLC for a nine-month period. The contract will support Other Health Insurance (OHI) billing and collection activities across DHA Military Treatment Facilities. No set-aside is being used for this opportunity, and the place of performance is Falls Church, Virginia. The notice represents the agency's commitment to maintaining continuity in its third-party collection operations during a transitional period.

The contract encompasses two Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) covering a six-month initial period followed by a three-month extension. The program's primary objective is to manage OHI billing and collection activities using the Government Billing Solution (GBS) system, with specific responsibilities including identifying and verifying OHI information, direct billing to third-party payers, managing claim denials, posting payments, conducting write-offs, and referring delinquent claims to appropriate collection agencies. The deadline for this announcement is January 31, 2026. As this is a sole-source bridge action, the award is being made to a single contractor without competitive bidding, which typically indicates continuation of existing services or an urgent operational need. While specific eligibility criteria for competing contractors are not detailed in this notice, interested parties should note that opportunities to comment on the sole-source justification may be available during the notice period.
