Procurement Actions Related to the 3.0 Managed Care Support Services Request for Proposal

Abstract

This audit is in response to allegations to the Defense Hotline regarding the TRICARE 3.0 Managed Care Support Services Request for Proposal. The complainant alleged that the contract to review the 3.0 Request for Proposal was improper; and that a consulting firms findings from its review of the TRICARE 3.0 Request for Proposal were unfounded and incorrect, and there was little rebuttal presented to the Defense Medical Oversight Committee by the TRICARE Management Activity. TRICARE provides regionally managed health care programs for active duty and retired members of the uniformed services, their families, and their survivors. TRICARE 3.0 was planned to be the next generation of managed care support services contracts for 12 TRICARE regions in the United States.
