Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA)
Solicitation # W911SR-26-R-HEAL
The Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND) is establishing the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Medical Countermeasure (MCM) Participant Basic Agreement (PBA) ecosystem. This continuous, open announcement seeks to build a network of pre-qualified partners to accelerate the development, testing, and fielding of next-generation medical defense solutions. The program focuses on two primary pillars: host-targeted resilience, which targets critical host systems like neurological and respiratory pathways to enhance physiological protection, and threat-targeted neutralization, which focuses on broad-spectrum countermeasures for prophylaxis and acute treatment. Priority is given to candidates designed for austere environments, featuring environmental stability without cold-chain reliance and simplified administration routes such as oral or intranasal delivery. The government is inviting two types of participants: MCM Development Collaborators, ranging from Phase I products through FDA licensure, and MCM Development Support Collaborators, such as CROs and CDMOs specializing in preclinical testing, cGMP manufacturing, and regulatory submissions. Interested parties must submit a white paper of no more than five pages detailing their product descriptions, efficacy data, regulatory status, and manufacturing capabilities. Acceptance into the PBA enables the subsequent award of project orders under the authority of 10 U.S.C sections 4021, 4022, and 4023. These agreements are not subject to the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. All prospective awardees must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to receive payment.

PILOT PROGRAM TO ASSIST CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND DEPENDENTS WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE RELATING TO CANCER HT9402-26-RFI-0255
Solicitation # HT9402-26-RFI-0255
The Defense Health Agency is conducting market research via Request for Information HT9402-26-RFI-0255 to establish a pilot program for supplemental cancer insurance. In accordance with Section 734 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, the program aims to provide members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, along with their dependents enrolled in TRICARE, with fixed indemnity supplemental benefits for non-covered cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment expenses. The pilot program must be established by September 30, 2027, and any resulting agreements will be limited to a maximum duration of three years without the possibility of renewal. A critical requirement of this initiative is that the Government will not subsidize the cost of the insurance plans; therefore, the program must be financially viable as a 100 percent beneficiary-paid group plan. The DHA is seeking detailed information from potential carriers regarding plan types, coverage scopes, eligibility verification, premium structures, and claims processing. Evaluation factors for future awards will include technical and management functions, past performance, price, financial viability, and small business participation. Interested vendors are requested to submit written responses and may request one-on-one virtual meetings with the Government to provide further market intelligence.
