Defense Health Agency's contract dollars, traced to the source.
Defense Health Agency · Department of War
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is the Department of War component that runs the Military Health System, delivering and administering health care to service members, retirees, and their families through the TRICARE program. Its contract dollars are overwhelmingly concentrated in managed care support services — the regional TRICARE contracts held by Humana Government Business, Health Net Federal Services, and UnitedHealth Military & Veterans Services top every award, covering integrated care delivery, provider networks, and claims administration across the East, West, North, and South regions. Against roughly $18.44B in FY2025 obligations, DHA reads far more like a health-insurance purchaser than a hardware or R&D buyer, with the balance trailing into medical services and supporting administrative work.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Defense Health Agency awarding sub-agency. It shows where DHA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) obligation slice reported to USAspending for FY2025, not DHA's total budget authority or the Defense Health Program appropriation. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of War monitor.
