- Description
- Modification to a Previous Notice Potential offerors, and other interested parties, are hereby notified that the approximate date the Department of Defense (DoD), TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) intends to issue a solicitation (RFP) for a follow-on contract for the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP), currently performed by United Concordia Companies, Inc. (H94002-05-D-0001) is changed to December 21, 2009. Please ignore the Response Dates (Original and Current) shown for this Pre-Solicitation Notice. When TMA issues the solicitation (RFP), on or about December 21, 2009, a notice will be posted and TMA will allow at least 45 days for offerors to prepare/submit their proposal in response to the RFP. The TDP provides for a voluntary, premium based indemnity dental insurance coverage plan that is available to specified categories of individuals who are qualified for these benefits by virtue of their relationship to one of the seven Uniformed Services (i.e., Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the USPHS (U.S. Public Health Service) and NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration)). The RFP identifies those TDP dental insurance benefits and administrative services required by the Government. These required administrative services include, but are not limited to, underwriting, marketing, eligibility verification and enrollment, premium collection, provider credentialing, development and maintenance of a preferred provider network in specified geographic areas, claim adjudication and payment, customer services, and the processing of appeals and grievances. The RFP includes four changes to the current TDP program benefits. The benefit changes are: 1) coverage of 1-3 surface posterior resin fillings (white fillings), 2) increasing the current annual maximum from $1,200 to $1,300, 3) increasing the current lifetime orthodontic maximum from $1,500 to $1,750, and 4) the initiation of dental accident coverage with a yearly maximum of $1,200. The period of performance under this contract is anticipated to be six years. The contract will be comprised of an anticipated twelve month transition/phase-in period (August 1, 2010 - July 31, 2011), followed by five one-year option periods (August 1 through July 31) for the performance of TDP dental services. During the evaluation process of this procurement, all option periods will be evaluated for purposes of determining a fair and reasonable price. All interested sources capable of performing this service will be considered. The Government contemplates award of a fixed-price contract resulting from the solicitation. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 will be used for this acquisition. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered for award. The requirement is unrestricted. In accordance with FAR 5.102 (a) (1), the solicitation will be made available electronically on the TMA contracting website.
