The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has extended the deadline to submit proposals for its multiple-award medical services contract valued at more than $43 billion: Medical Q-Coded Support & Services – Next Generation (MQS2-NG). Proposals are now due March 31, 2023.
The MQS2-NG program will consolidate the scopes of two large medical services indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Through MQS2-NG, the DHA will provide clinical and medical support services to beneficiaries at medical and dental facilities in DoD and other federal agencies throughout all 50 states, including Guam and Puerto Rico.
MQS2-NG is a major opportunity for medical and professional services companies, but the competition will be fierce from the “quasi-incumbents” looking to expand their geographic coverage or from other small businesses looking to break into the medical staffing market.
