Department of Defense/Veterans Affairs 2023-2024 Overview

Looking to do business with the government’s Military Health Systems and the VA’s Veterans Health Administration?

The Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs are the two largest purchasers of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare services in the federal marketplace. The two organizations are different and not part of the same government cabinet department.

The Department of Defense’s (DoD) Military Health System (MHS) is a global, comprehensive, integrated system (includes both the direct care system and private sector care) comprising Army, Navy, and Air Force military, civilian and contracted medical professionals who work cohesively to ensure those in uniform are medically ready to deploy anywhere around the globe on a moment’s notice.

With over nearly $60 billion in the total budget, the MHS serves 9.6 million beneficiaries through its TRICARE program. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) oversees the execution of the $47 billion budgetary resources to support the delivery of integrated, high-quality health services.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is America’s largest integrated health care system, providing care at 1,321 health care facilities, including 172 medical centers and 1,138 outpatient sites of care of varying complexity (VHA outpatient clinics), serving 9 million enrolled Veterans each year.

There are an estimated 19 million Veterans living in the United States (U.S.), its territories, and other locations. VA employs nearly 400,000 full time health care professionals and support staff.

AMI’s Military Health System Report’s DoD/VA Overview provides comprehensive business intelligence on both organizations and the procurement departments and key executives to help sell successfully to the largest purchasers in the federal market.
