VA Healthcare & Services Contracts

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

1 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

The VA Healthcare & Services Contracts stream reflects a single $928,900,085 obligation to TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corp from the Department of Veterans Affairs, with a 0/1 defense-related split indicating fully civilian exposure.

This high-materiality firm fixed price delivery order for health and medical insurance carriers (NAICS 524114, PSC G007) under full and open competition carries a neutral highest-conviction signal (strength 5/10) due to its anomalous one-month performance period in March 2026 and no funds outlayed despite total obligation matching base + options. The dominant agency theme is Department of Veterans Affairs health insurance programs via delivery order, lacking multi-year visibility. Key risk is the award date (2026-04-16) post-dating performance end (2026-03-31), introducing execution uncertainty and high pricing risk.
