Scope: Federal

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is currently in the planning phase for partnering with carriers of supplemental insurance focused on cancer coverage.

This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to initiate market research efforts as the Government considers structuring processes to meet Congress’ intent.

Section 734 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 (Enclosure 1) requires DHA to establish a pilot program not later than September 30, 2027, under which members of the regular component of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Space Force and their dependents enrolled in TRICARE may obtain supplemental cancer insurance for noncovered expenses under a fixed indemnity supplemental benefit.

The supplemental coverage is intended to provide financial assistance for noncovered expenses related to cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment that are not otherwise covered by the health care benefits the individuals receive under chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code, or any other benefit provided by the Secretary of Defense. https://www.congress.gov/119/plaws/publ60/PLAW-119publ60.pdf RFI Instructions: Prepare and submit a written response addressing each of the questions below.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
