Timeline
    Description

    The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to modify existing Medical Support Services (MSS) contracts to extend the ordering period by five months, now set to conclude on March 31, 2025. This extension is necessary to ensure the continued provision of non-personal medical support services at Department of Defense Military Treatment Facilities across the United States and its territories, as the upcoming Medical "Q" Coded Support and Services-Next Generation (MQS2-NG) acquisition has faced delays. The MSS contracts will maintain their existing contract ceiling and pricing will remain fair and reasonable, determined through competitive task orders, reflecting the DHA's commitment to providing quality medical care. Interested parties can reach out to Mario D. Thompson at mario.d.thompson.civ@health.mil or call 210-295-2777 for further information.

    The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is seeking approval to extend the ordering period of 26 Medical Support Services (MSS) indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts for an additional five months, through March 31, 2025. This extension is necessary due to delays in awarding the upcoming Medical "Q" Coded Support and Services-Next Generation (MQS2-NG) acquisition, which consolidates existing programs. With the current MSS contracts set to expire on October 31, 2024, the additional time will ensure continued medical support services at Department of Defense Military Treatment Facilities across the U.S. and territories. The contracts encompass non-personal medical support by credentialed and non-credentialed healthcare professionals in various roles. The extension will not alter the existing contract ceiling, and pricing will remain fair and reasonable, determined through competitive task orders. The rationale for this action is based on 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)—specifying that only one responsible source is available to satisfy agency requirements. The extension aligns with broader efforts to standardize medical support services and mitigate risks associated with service gaps. This plan reflects the DHA's commitment to ensuring ongoing support and quality medical care within its facilities.
