Background and Description:

OHS is the principal medical, workforce health and safety, and public health authority for DHS.

Since the inception of DHS, health security has played a pivotal role in the execution of the Department’s mission. The Office of Health Security positions the Department for a proactive and agile response to the evolving health security landscape. OHS was created via bipartisan and bicameral legislation which permitted the Department to effectuate a mission-targeted reorganization solely focused on departmental workforce health, safety, and medical functions.

The roles, responsibilities and authorities of the Department’s Chief Medical Officer and OHS are found in statute including 6 U.S.C. § 350, 6 U.S.C. § 597, 6 U.S.C. § 597a, and 6 U.S.C. § 321q. These authorities are further reinforced via DHS Delegation 26000, Designation 00-26000 (Designated Agency Safety and Health Official), Designation 00-26002 (Anomalous Health

Incident Agency Coordination Lead), and numerous Directives and Instructions. Additionally, OHS is responsible for the oversight and implementation at DHS of numerous government-wide authorities such as those related to Employee Assistance Programs and Health Service Programs (5 U.S.C. § 7901) and Worker’s Compensation Programs (5 U.S.C. § 8101, et seq). OHS also provides significant health leadership and support to ensure that the Department effectively carries out responsibilities related to immigration health under 42 U.S.C. § 249 and the due process clause of the 5th Amendment.

In support of this mission, the DHS OHS has an immediate and urgent requirement to procure specialized emergency medical services equipment and supply kits. The specialized kits will be utilized by OHS Field Medical Operations in support of force health protection and operational medicine activities during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Freedom 250 (America’s 250th Birthday), and other short-term special events with a high-threat environment and public safety concerns.

Additionally, pursuant to statutory authority in 6 USC 597a, OHS clinicians will utilize the equipment in the provision of operational medical support to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection during immigration enforcement, removal and repatriation operations, and provision of such support to the U.S. Secret Service as part of the OHS Protective Medicine Program.

Sole Source Determination:

The sole source determination is based on the following:Vital Group Solutions, LLC is the only source that can provide the comprehensive solution of equipment and supplies, in the configuration necessary, and with the rapid sourcing required by the DHS/OHS for these urgent requirements. The DHS/OHS conducted market research in the Spring of 2026 which informed this sole source procurement. After development of the equipment and formulary inventory for the mobile kits and clinic-in-a-box, OHS federal personnel compared that inventory with availability through the DHS Medical Supplies BPA ordering vehicle vendors. However, the market research showed that only 48% of the specialized equipment could be adequately sourced from the vehicle. Further, the equipment via the BPA would arrive piecemeal – in which a separate procurement of bags and hard cases would be necessary, after which OHS personnel would need to assemble each kit individually. A similar assessment was performed using GSA Advantage. However, similar to the Medical Supplies BPA, procurement via this source would result in higher cost due to the piecemeal approach and additional expenses associated with packaging and assembly. DHS/OHS then engaged Components including CBP and ICE regarding potential available sources of the required equipment. This resulted in identification of an existing contract with ICE with the Vital Group that has provided similar equipment to ICE Tactical Emergency Medical Services, which is a primary operational partner of OHS Field Medical Operations. The Vital Group provided confirmation that it is able to provide the exact type of equipment and configuration necessary, and with the urgency required. No other source was identified that could satisfy the full scope of OHS’s needs through the market research conducted. Additionally, it can be procured at a fair and reasonable price and in accordance with FAR (RFO) Part 12 commercial procedures, with preference to small business concerns). The anticipated sole source award of this requirement is anticipated for mid-May of 2026.
