JA FY25-0106 AF PSP 6-Mos Bridge final PS-CD-25-0682 _Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a six-month bridge contract for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Air Force (AF) Patient Safety Program (PSP) Support Services. The contract will cover a base period from 1 May 2025 to 30 June 2025, with two optional 1-month extension periods (July-August and September-October 2025). The requirement is to provide expertise and experience for Patient Safety Specialists at inpatient Air Force Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), supporting 72 multiple armed services branches including Navy, Air Force, and DHA.

The bridge contract is being pursued while a new long-term 5-year DAD-MA PSP for MTFs is in the source selection evaluation phase, with an anticipated award date of 30 June 2025. Market research was conducted via a Request for Information (RFI), which yielded responses primarily from small businesses. The contract is being competed as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, and the purpose is to maintain continuity of services, prevent a gap in coverage, and mitigate risks associated with transitioning contractors. The solicitation is intended to foster a culture of patient safety, focusing on proactive risk assessment, event analysis, and process improvement across military healthcare facilities.
