APLIS Sustainment JA Signed Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR Subpart 6.3 for the Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Information System (APLIS) sustainment. The Defense Healthcare Management Systems Contracting Division intends to award a sole-source contract to Oracle-Cerner for APLIS Integration Services, as they are the incumbent prime contractor and only qualified source.

The contract includes a 1-year base period and a 10-month option period, with services expected to begin in December 2026. The scope covers APLIS software management, configuration support, maintenance services, and infrastructure support across Military Treatment Facilities. Key requirements include hardware/software replacement, cyber security compliance, interface development between APLIS and MHS GENESIS, and user training. The document cites market research from November 2024 confirming Oracle-Cerner as the only responsible source, with the necessity to maintain the current solution to avoid significant disruption costs. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price contract funded through Operations & Maintenance (O&M) funds.
