The Department of Defense (DoD), TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) is developing the requirement for health care technology assessment services which include full in-depth assessments and short assessments on specific focused health care topics. The Government estimates the contractor will be required to complete one or two assessments, either full, in-depth assessments, or short assessments, per month.

DoD does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the survey submitted in response to the market analysis nor pay for costs associated with responses received. Comments are solicited as to whether the language included in the draft SOW is sufficiently descriptive/detailed and broad enough in scope, includes applicable and necessary standard industry/commercial practices, and establishes reasonable objectives and obtainable standards that can be measured and used in conjunction with possible performance incentives. Comments/suggestions on additional aspects of the draft SOW are encouraged and may also be submitted. All comments/suggestions made should be stated in generic/broad and nonproprietary terms.
