BLUF: VA obligated $983,897,123.99 to TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corp on August 3, 2026, under its Community Care Network delivery order, awarded competitively.

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Strategic Acquisition Center in Fredericksburg funded delivery order 36C10G26K0293, issued under master IDIQ 36C10G19D0038 — the vehicle VA's own procurement office identifies as the Community Care Network contract for Region 5, administered by TriWest Healthcare Alliance. The action, recorded in federal award data as "Express Report: June 2026," obligated the full $983,897,123.99 in a single transaction on August 3, 2026. The award was made through full and open competition.

Why it matters: The Community Care Network is VA's primary mechanism for referring veterans to community-based providers outside VA facilities, and TriWest is one of the program's regional third-party administrators. A funding action of this size in a single "Express Report" transaction reflects the scale of ongoing veteran community-care claims and network administration volume VA is funding through this delivery order.
