The Digital Imaging Network - Picture Archiving and Communications System

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical established the Digital Imaging Network - Picture Archiving and Communications System (DIN-PACS) Master IDIQ on August 12, 2016, with ordering authority extending through September 12, 2030, leaving approximately four years of procurement runway. The vehicle is fully unrestricted; all 503 task orders awarded to date carry no set-aside designation.

DIN-PACS contracts digital imaging platforms and services supporting the Military Health System and Department of Veterans Affairs medical networks. Awarded task orders span PACS hardware upgrades, licensing and software maintenance, workstations, dose-monitoring systems, and multi-facility radiology support—typically firm-fixed-price delivery orders with performance periods of 6 to 24 months. Recent orders (June 2026) include a $2.1 million AGFA PACS maintenance task to a vendor and multiple sub-$700,000 PACS upgrade and maintenance orders.

Activity remains strong. The vehicle averaged 49 orders per year over the past five years, with 77 orders placed in 2024 and 20 through mid-2026. The combined potential value of all 503 task orders stands at $320.8 million, with $306.3 million already obligated (95% consumption rate), indicating limited remaining capacity under the vehicle's terms.

Agfa Healthcare Corporation dominates the prime contractor base, holding 256 of 503 orders and $157.9 million in combined potential value—roughly 49% of the vehicle's total. Change Healthcare Technologies LLC ranks second with 138 orders and $92.4 million (29%). Philips Healthcare Informatics Inc., Scimage Inc., and Carestream Health, Inc. together account for $83.5 million, with six vendors total captured. Customer concentration is high: Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical placed 203 orders ($112.6 million), and the Department of Veterans Affairs and its subordinate procurement offices placed 254 orders ($164.7 million combined)—together representing roughly 90% of vehicle activity. The remaining 46 orders fund Army, Navy, and other DoD medical programs.

Work is performed at multiple Military Health System and VA Medical Center locations nationwide, with individual task orders scoped to specific facilities or VISNs (Veterans Integrated Service Networks).

The Digital Imaging Network - Picture Archiving and Communications System (DIN-PACS) is an open system network of digital devices designed for the effective acquisition, transmission, display, and management of diagnostic imaging studies. DIN-PACS provides for diagnostic x-ray images in digital output that can be transmitted for analysis anywhere in the hospital or in the world. DIN-PACS support the business process changes throughout the Military Health System (MHS) and, especially, within the practice of military radiology. The vision for radiology is to create a "virtual" radiology department by eliminating multiple "place" constraints that arise both within and between diagnostic centers. Within facilities the DIN-PACS system is intended to eliminate the necessity of creating film and allow access to images by multiple users at any place and anytime. Between facilities, the system is intended to create opportunities to dynamically shift workload at anytime and to any location where clinical expertise is available.
