Medical Q-Coded Support and Services-Next Generation Industry Day

1. Description

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Enterprise Medical Services Contracting Division (EMS-CD) is hosting a virtual industry day for the Medical Q-Coded Support and Services- Next Generation (MQS2-NG) acquisition. This forum will provide the opportunity for the EMS-CD to brief participants on the MQS2-NG solicitation requirements and solicit feedback from industry via the provided MQS2-NG Industry Day Feedback Form. All briefings and discussions will be conducted at the unclassified level.

2. Background

The DHA supports the delivery of clinical and medical support services within the Military Health System (MHS) by administering and managing two strategic contracts designed to supplement the staff in DOD medical and dental facilities. For the most part, these two strategic contracts, which are Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Contracts (MACs), relied on vendors to provide health care staffing services at individual medical and dental facilities, which is the predominant method used to contract for health care services. The types of services acquired are listed as Q services in the Product Service Code (PSC) manual. These services include the professional medical (clinical) services such as ancillary, dental, physicians, and nurses as well as the medical support services such as appointing, auditing, clerical, coding, medical records, and transcription.

The DHA is transitioning its buying approach for professional medical (clinical) and medical support services from buying for individual facilities to a market-based buying approach, where the requirements will be aggregated across a geographical area that DHA calls a market. The DHA has developed the MQS2-NG requirement around supporting these markets and their larger supporting contracting offices to facilitate transition to market based buying.
