This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole source acquisition of a Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Premier Level Organizational Affiliate Program Membership. The Professional Services Contracting Division of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) is acquiring a membership for the PEO MISC/CIO (J-6) CIO Operations Division to support mission activities, including executing mission and business activities, providing information needed for operations, researching new technologies, and implementing business activities.

The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price type with a base period from 3/9/2025 to 8/8/2025 and potential option periods. The total contract value is $768,000.00, with market research conducted from 9/6/2024 to 10/17/2024 confirming HIMSS as the sole source capable of providing the required organizational membership services. The justification cites HIMSS's unique capabilities in healthcare information systems and the Government's determination that no other source can meet their specific requirements, making this a sole source acquisition under 41 U.S.C. 1901 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
