Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office (PEO) Defense Healthcare Management Systems (DHMS), issued a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for Deployment Solutions. This presolicitation sought industry feedback on requirements for non-personal services to support the on-demand deployment of DHMS products. Feedback was due by March 11, 2026, and Q&A responses were published on March 19, 2026. A formal solicitation is expected later.
Opportunity Overview
This effort seeks to establish an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract for services and materials necessary to support and execute the on-demand deployment of DHMS products and related components. This includes site preparation, deployment, training, user adoption, change management, and post-installation support to ensure seamless integration and minimal disruption to existing healthcare systems. Price will not be an evaluation factor for the IDIQ award.
Scope of Work
The draft RFP outlines two interconnected lines of effort:
- Federal EHR Product Modernization and Deployment: Implementation of the Federal EHR at established, high-capacity treatment facilities, including large OCONUS medical centers, community hospitals, and outpatient clinics. This involves full-spectrum healthcare services and integration with complex hardware and IT systems.
- OpMed Products Modernization and Deployment: Delivery of mobile and interoperable OpMed solutions for deployed and tactical environments (CONUS and OCONUS), such as theater hospitals, hospital ships, and submarines. This requires integration with Service-specific hardware and diverse networks, ensuring system security, and addressing low-to-no touch remote deployments. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) details requirements for program management, deployment planning/execution, stabilization/transition, hardware delivery, product connectivity, user enablement, adoption/change management, and data management/migration.
Contract Details
- Type: Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract.
- Period of Performance: One (1) Base Year of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option years.
- Place of Performance: Specific locations will be identified in individual Task Orders, covering CONUS and OCONUS.
- Set-Aside: Not explicitly stated for the IDIQ, but Small Business Participation is an evaluation factor with goals (e.g., 30% total small business, 12% small business, 3% HUBZone, 5% SDVOSB, 5% SDB, 5% WOSB).
Evaluation Factors (for eventual RFP)
Proposals for the formal solicitation will be evaluated on:
- Challenge Scenario: Covering both Federal EHR and OpMed deployments.
- Small Business Participation: With specific minimum goals.
- Supply Chain Risk. Award will be made to technically acceptable and responsible offerors. An "Acceptable" rating in all factors is required, with Factor 1 needing "Acceptable" in at least one scenario.
Feedback & Important Notes
Industry feedback on the draft RFP was requested by March 11, 2026, using a provided workbook. The Government published Q&A responses on March 19, 2026, clarifying aspects such as anticipated CMMC Level 2 for task orders, Facility Clearance (FCL) determined at the task order level, and the administrative use of AI tools in evaluation (not for training models). Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) declarations were not required for draft feedback, but will be assessed for the formal solicitation. Offerors were advised to grant permission for listed support contractors to view proprietary information submitted during the feedback period.
