Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a modification to an existing Firm Fixed-Price contract (HT0015-24-C-0003) with Zygos Consulting LLC. This action is to ensure the continuation of Strategic Advisor Support (SAS) for the DHA Program Executive Office (PEO) Medical Systems (J-6) Directorate, preventing a break in service due to ongoing corrective actions related to protests.
Scope of Change
This J&A authorizes a modification to support the existing level of effort for SAS services, with no new work being added. The DHA has a continuing need for these services, and the modification is necessary to maintain functionality and sustainment. The original contract was awarded on July 18, 2025, following a solicitation (HT0015-24-R-0021) that was previously a 100% small business set-aside for the follow-on requirement.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for a Firm Fixed-Price contract modification
- Services: Strategic Advisor Support (R707 - Contract, Procurement, And Acquisition Support Services)
- Place of Performance: Falls Church, VA
- Published: March 20, 2026
Evaluation
Price fair and reasonableness for this modification will be determined by the contracting officer through price analysis. Market research was not conducted for this specific modification, but previous market research for the original requirement indicated multiple vendors could provide the services.
Additional Notes
Performance delays for the original contract were caused by protests received after award. While these protests were dismissed by GAO, DHA agreed to conduct corrective actions, which are still ongoing. This modification is crucial to prevent a break in service that would result in a substantial loss of functionality and sustainment for DHA.
