The South Region comprises of the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky (the Fort Campbell area only), Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas (excluding areas of Western Texas). The South Region Contractor shall be responsible for administering and complying with all Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP) requirements in all geographic areas.

The award includes the base period for $4,931,404.

The competitive contract action contains multiple contract types, but predominately cost plus fixed fee. It is appropriate to utilize the cost reimbursement contract type due to the uncertainties involved in contract performance that do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price.
