Due to popularity, the Government has found additional space, continue to send in requests for attendance.

This has been a popular request.  In order to allow more companies to participate, we are decreasing the number of attendees per company down to 2.  Even with that, all slots have been accounted for and we are unable to accept any additional in person requests.  The Government is still planning to record the session and post it in addition to making the breifing material available. 

Thank you for your interest in the upcoming opportunities.

Clarification was requested about the purpose of slide #3 of the Draft_Contract_Strategy_22Dec2025.  It is a pictoral depiction only.  Slides 4, 5, and 6 have the descriptions for each draft contract/ agreement.  The Government is requesting industry input on this draft contract/agreement strategy through the questions on slides 8-9.  

22 Dec 2025 --

DHA Contracting on behalf of PEO DHMS, is requesting industry feedback on its draft contract strategy.  The attached file (Draft_Contract Strategy_22Dec2025) lays out the anticipated contract strategy.  The Government is requesting industry provide feedback on this approach (see slides 8-9).  We know this is not the optimal time to request information from industry, but wanted to get this out as soon as possible and give industry adequate time after the holidays to respond.  The Government requests submission for some or all information be provided by 9 Jan 2026.  Your insight is greatly appreciated.

The Government is hosting an Industry Day in the Washington D.C. area the first week of November 2025. The exact date, time, and location will be announced shortly.

This is an in-person event only. Attendance is limited to a maximum of three (3) representatives per company, as capacity is capped at 150 attendees.

The purpose of this Industry Day is to provide industry partners with updates on the MHS GENESIS recompete, including the target timeline for solicitation(s) and key areas where the Government will seek industry engagement.

Presentation materials and other relevant information will be made available on SAM.gov and Defense Health Agency (DHA) social media channels shortly after the event for those unable to attend.

• Background & Overview

• Program Executive Office, Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) is planning for a competitive award to support the Federal Electronic Health Record (EHR).

The new contract strategy focuses on the following priorities:

• Keeping pace with commercial technology advancements, leveraging the commercial ecosystem for defense systems, rapidly delivering scaled digital capabilities, and evolving our systems faster than adversaries can adapt on the battlefield.

• Reducing the timeline required to compete follow-on efforts.

• Tightening integration with the Veterans Affairs (VA) and other Federal agencies who require Electronic Health Information.

• Improving efficiency in the delivery of healthcare and long-term sustainability of information technology investments.

• Where appropriate, leveraging a compensation model for EHR contractor(s) based on healthcare value delivered rather than on activity, capability, or consumption.

• Ensuring the best-in-class specialized methodology developed under the incumbent contract for successful EHR deployment remains available for the Department of War (DoW) and Federal agencies.
