About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has released a Special Notice for the next generation TRICARE Pharmacy Program (TPharm6) contract, currently in the acquisition planning phase. This opportunity invites qualified vendors to provide feedback and refinement on draft contract documents, specifically Section C (Statement of Work) and Section H (Special Contract Requirements). The Special Notice represents a pre-solicitation phase designed to incorporate industry input before the formal request for proposal is issued. The TRICARE Pharmacy Program administers pharmacy benefits for approximately 9.5 million active duty and retired members of the Uniformed Services, spouses, children, and TRICARE for Life beneficiaries across all 50 states, U.S. territories, and overseas locations. This is a substantial government contract requiring sophisticated capabilities in claims adjudication, pharmacy network management, and beneficiary services.
Interested vendors must submit comments and questions on the draft documents by May 22, 2026 at 12:00 PM Mountain Time to dha.buckley.AD-SPT-CAE.mbx.tpharm6@health.mil, with the company name and "Draft Documents Response" included in the email subject line. The DHA will also facilitate one-on-one meetings with industry during summer 2026 to gather additional feedback and address questions, with requests for meetings due by the same May 22, 2026 deadline using the provided OSI form link at https://forms.osi.apps.mil/r/zBn9EyRm0g. While specific eligibility criteria are not detailed in this notice, contractors must demonstrate capability in pharmacy benefits administration, including claims processing, retail network management of at least 35,000 pharmacies, mail order pharmacy operations, and comprehensive 24/7/365 beneficiary support services. Key program requirements include maintaining 99.5% system availability, achieving 98% mail order prescription fulfillment within four business days, and meeting stringent performance standards with associated financial forfeitures for failures in critical service areas such as processing speed, system uptime, and clinical review turnaround times.
