Notice ID: HT003822SC001
The Program Executive Office for Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) Joint Operational Medicine Information Systems (JOMIS) Program Office is issuing the attached full and open (unrestricted) Commercial Solution Opening (CSO) for the Healthcare Delivery (HCD) modernization effort.
The lack of “fit-for-purpose”, scalable, configurable and modular capabilities has led to current Operational Medicine (OpMed) Information Technology (IT) systems failing to meet the changing operational environment.
PEO DHMS JOMIS PMO is seeking the most innovative commercial solutions available. Further, as explained in the CSO, the Government will provide mechanisms to promote networking to form teaming arrangements and partnerships anticipated to stimulate highly sought after innovative solutions. If a proposed solution has merit, the Government will work closely with the offering vendor to strive to provide a mutually beneficial arrangement for all parties.
The solicitation is comprised of several separate phases: 1)Abstract, 2)Pitch, 3)Full Proposal, 4)Negotiation, 5)Compliance and 6)Post-Award Design as prescribed herein. Further, the Abstract phase includes multiple iterations, which are fully explained in this CSO.
Potential award types include FAR-based contracts and/or Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) including orders, Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) including calls, and/or Prototype Other Transactions (OTs) pursuant to 10 U.S.C.§2371b. Regardless of the type instrument negotiated, the pricing shall be Fixed-Price, which includes Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Fixed-Price Incentive (FPI). This solicitation is not accepting offers for grants or cooperative agreements as the purpose of this CSO is to transfer something of value directly to the Government.
The Government reserves the right to award to one, some, all or none of the CSO respondents invited to submit proposals in response to the CSO. Be advised that only a Contracting/Agreements Officer has the authority to enter into, or modify, a binding contract/agreement on behalf of the United States Government.
The level of funding for any prototype award made under this solicitation is intentionally not being prescribed due to the risk of doing so compromising Applicant innovation and ingenuity. Should funding availability be insufficient, but the Government determine it to be in its best interest to pursue an award based upon the high quality of a proposal, the Government may elect to downward negotiate an otherwise unaffordable solution even if doing so necessitates awarding only portions of the proposal. It may also choose to include priced options in any award, incrementally fund awards, or both.
Awards made under this CSO constitute competitive procedures. The Government may award OTs for prototype projects that provide for the award of a follow-on production FAR-based contract or OT for production to participants in the OT for prototype projects, or a recognized successor in interest to the OT, without the use of further competitive procedures, if the participant in the OT for prototype projects successfully completes the prototype project, as permitted by 10 U.S.C.§2371b(f).
A contract or OT for a prototype awarded under this CSO shall allow for an iterative prototyping process. An iterative prototyping process will allow the Government to modify, by mutual agreement, the scope of a prototype contract or OT to allow for the adaptation and modification of the technology being prototyped to meet additional unique and discrete purposes/mission sets. The sequential prototype iterations may result in a separate prototype project rather than a modification of the original prototype contract or OT.
OpMed providers require solutions that enable bi-directional data flow, “fit-for-purpose”, scalable, configurable, enabling healthcare delivery documentation, with clinical decision support (CDS) in the disconnected, intermittent and low-comms environment.
The HCD Modernization effort must provide fit for purpose, modular capabilities that enable the capture of data and transmission of data throughout the deployed continuum of care. This effort will address critical gaps in order to document preventative healthcare and patient encounters; manage patient data, ancillary data, and maintain patient visibility; and provide decision support to Health Service Support providers in austere Role 1 and 2 environments. This solution should also serve as a catalyst for identifying new external technology trends and building communities with sources of innovation both outside traditional DoD and Military Health System contractor communities.
- Functional Areas of Interest (AOIs) and Technical Attributes
Functional AOIs describe the problem space to be addressed through innovative technologies and solutions. They are not detailed specifications and requirements, but rather kept broad to remain open to all ideas and possibilities proposed by Applicants.
Technical Attributes are also identified and addressed to ensure that innovative solutions meet the necessary requirements leading to prototype development.
As outlined immediately below, the Functional AOIs and Technical Attributes are being broadly expressed by PEO DHMS to stimulate Applicant interest and exploration of ingenious solutions that span all components of the HCD vision with reasonable potential of successful execution and implementation.
Functional AOIs
- Document OpMed Healthcare Delivery & Preventative Readiness
- Supports the documentation of healthcare into an electronic medical record including diagnosis, plan of care, treatment, longitudinal care, and other clinical notes.
- Supports the documentation of preventative exams, immunizations, screenings, health counseling, and health education and medical readiness requirements.
- Management of OpMed data
- Collects, organizes, stores, protects, disseminates and analyzes patient health and safety- related data and treatment history (clinical preventive and injury/illness-related encounters) across the continuum of care in an electronic format.
- Captures, organizes, and disseminates information related to patient location and status during delivery of health care throughout the continuum of care.
- Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
- Provides clinical decision support (CDS) tools, manages medical reference information, manages Occupational Environmental Health (OEH) Assessment information, and tracks Quality Assurance (QA)
