This is a notice of intent to award five sole source contracts and is not a request for competitive quotes. A sole source justification in accordance with FAR Part 6 is being processed for this requirement and will be posted when the approval process is accomplished. The forthcoming Class Justification and Approval (J&A) authorizes the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to award multiple sole-source contracts, on an other than full and open competition basis, to the following proprietary platform vendors: Cerner Corporation (Oracle Health) 8779 Hillcrest RD Kansas City, Missouri, 64138-2700 Cage: 1JCJ0 UEID: DMHXTXRARC74 Philips North America LLC (Philips Healthcare) 222 Jacobs ST, East Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02141-2296 Cage: 0ZBJ4 UEID: PWFVQLA9SX78 American Well Corporation (Amwell) 75 State ST FL 26, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109-1827 Cage: 64FM6 UEID: DJC6XVXQMV15 Henry Schein, Inc. 135 Duryea RD, Melville, New York, 11747-3834 Cage: 0NUS8 UEID: D6MTSKS115L9 Solventum Health Information Systems, Inc. (Solventum) 575 W Murray BLVD, Murray, Utah, 84123-4611 Cage: 3L5X5 UEID: LUYEUMH42L88 These contracts will provide critical system components, software licensing, and specialized services that form the foundational architecture of the Military Health System (MHS) GENESIS environment, which are currently being delivered through a legacy solution provider integrator. The Government's target timing is to transition the Philips and Amwell relationships to direct contracts prior to the end of July 2026, Oracle Health by November 2026, and Henry Schein and Solventum by July 2027. Note: Additional direct relationships may be established over time based on the operational and financial benefit to the Government. If additional proprietary solutions can be broken out are identified, the J&A will be updated to support the direct procurement of those systems. This action represents a deliberate and strategic shift in the Government's acquisition approach, moving away from a monolithic solution provider integrator model toward a competitive, modular, direct-vendor contracting strategy. Under the new model, DHA will contract directly with the proprietary solution providers for core system capabilities, rather than procuring these services and paying pass-through overhead through an intermediary. This shift is driven by both operational experience and Department-level policy direction. Historically, the use of a single solution provider integrator—tasked with integrating the efforts of multiple vendors—enabled the rapid deployment and initial stabilization of the MHS GENESIS system-of-systems. However, as the system has reached full deployment and transitioned into the sustainment and optimization phase, this intermediary model has introduced: Reduced cost transparency Duplicative layers of vendor management and administration Limited Government visibility into underlying pricing structures Constraints on the Government's ability to directly manage vendor performan…
