Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Special Notice for the Health Care Delivery Solutions (HCDS) Electronic Health Record Follow-on (MHS GENESIS). This initiative involves ongoing market research, industry feedback requests, and an upcoming industry day to refine the contract strategy for the MHS GENESIS recompete.
Purpose & Background
The Program Executive Office, Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS), is planning a competitive award to support the Federal Electronic Health Record (EHR). The new contract strategy prioritizes keeping pace with commercial technology, leveraging the commercial ecosystem, rapidly delivering digital capabilities, integrating with the VA and other Federal agencies, improving healthcare delivery efficiency, and potentially using value-based compensation models. It also aims to ensure the specialized methodology for EHR deployment remains available.
Key Activities & Feedback
- Industry Day: An in-person industry day is scheduled for March 31, 2026, in Washington D.C. to review the updated contract strategy and timelines. This will be an interactive engagement for industry questions and feedback. Attendance is limited to three representatives per company, with a cap of 130 attendees. To attend, email Gabriela Hurte at gabriela.y.hurte.civ@health.mil. Presentation materials will be available online post-event.
- Draft Contract Strategy Feedback: DHA previously requested industry feedback on its Draft Contract Strategy (dated December 22, 2025) by January 9, 2026. This document outlined the proposed program structure, specific products (e.g., Oracle Health Millennium, Henry Schein Dentrix) and services, and potential contractual approaches. It posed questions regarding consolidated solutions, help desk/training, SaaS impacts, cloud risks, and organizational constructs.
- Q&A and Clarifications: The government has been reviewing industry input and providing clarifications. Key topics include DoD and VA joint contract activities, the necessity and structure of a system integrator, transition period duration, sustainment baseline review, vendor management, and the impact of OCI migration. Leidos, Inc. is identified as the current incumbent. The government is assessing revised timelines for future RFQ releases.
