## Description

The DoD, through the Defense Health Agency (DHA), has a mission to provide TRICARE services to eligible beneficiaries in locations outside the fifty United States and the District of Columbia. To accomplish this mission, the TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) contract will supplement the services the direct care system provides in designated Military Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) locations to Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs) and certain Active Duty Family Members (ADFMs).

The TOP contract will provide comprehensive health care support services to ADSMs and certain ADFMs in designated remote overseas locations.

Health care support services include the development of purchased-care sector provider (PCSP) networks, referral management activities, TRICARE eligibility verification and enrollment, medically necessary evacuations (medevacs), medical documentation, translation services, medical management services, customer service/call center activities, beneficiary and provider education and marketing, and claims processing and coding.

The purpose of this notice is to obtain industry input to assist in defining the requirements for the next generation TOP 2028 contract. The DHA is interested in taking advantage of the expertise of the healthcare industry and incorporating commercial best practices with respect to providing overseas healthcare. Any information received will be deemed "Source Selection Information" (See FAR 2.101 & 3.104).
