Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for Information Technology Program Support and Analytics Services (ITPSAS). This is a "bridge action" to ensure continuity of critical services provided by Deloitte Consulting, LLP while a Government Accountability Office (GAO) protest on a follow-on contract is resolved. The services support the Deputy Assistant Director for Information Operations/J-6 at DHA, located in Falls Church, VA. The projected award date is May 15, 2026, with a period of performance extending up to June 15, 2027.
Purpose & Context
This justification outlines the need for a new Firm Fixed Price Task Order under the GSA Alliant II Government-wide Acquisition Contract. The bridge action is critical to prevent a lapse in essential IT program support and analytics services, which would cause severe mission disruption, halt legacy system rationalization, degrade executive decision-making, and disrupt inter-agency coordination. The need arises from an unforeseen post-award protest on the previously awarded follow-on contract.
Scope of Work
The contractor will provide non-personal services including:
- Business and program analytics support for DHA J6.
- Predictive analytics and executive dashboard development/management.
- Support for legacy IT system rationalization/decommissioning activities.
- Enterprise cost and schedule impact analysis and "what if" modeling.
- Key program management support to internal DHA J6 Organizations, External Agencies (e.g., Veterans Affairs, NATO), and Army Medicine.
- Utilization of the DHA Business Analytics Tool (BAT) powered by Symantec Open-Source Software (SEMOSS) analytic platform.
- Program analytic services for Advanced Technology Development, HIT Innovation, and Technical Architecture modernization.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Task Order under GSA Alliant II GWAC.
- Product Service Code: R408 (Program Management/Support Services).
- Period of Performance:
- Base Period: May 16, 2026 - July 15, 2026 (2 months)
- Option Period One (OP1): July 16, 2026 - September 15, 2026 (2 months)

- Funding Type: Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funds.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This is a sole-source action justified by the immediate need for continuity of services. The incumbent contractor, Deloitte Consulting, LLP, is cited as the only entity possessing the immediate capability, cleared personnel, network access, and intimate knowledge of the DHA Business Analytics Tool (BAT) and SEMOSS analytic platform to continue these specialized services without a disruptive transition period. No set-aside designation applies to this specific bridge action.
Submission & Evaluation
This document is a justification for an exception to fair opportunity, not a solicitation. Therefore, no proposal submission or evaluation criteria are detailed.
Additional Notes
Market research was conducted for the recompete effort, but not for this immediate bridge requirement due to feasibility and practicality concerns. The contract includes option periods to provide contingency in case the protest situation becomes more complex.
