WF3 CTO4 JA_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity Federal Acquisition Regulation, specifically for the Defense Health Agency's Workforce 3.0 (WF3) contract. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends to award a task-order contract to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) on a sole-source basis for a Design-to-Outcome (DTO) task order. The WF3 is a fully managed end-to-end solution for executing DHA mid-office and back-office functions, requiring a managed solution that covers digital workforce capabilities across technical, administrative, and organizational domains.

The contract involves a series of linked task orders (DTO1-DTO4) that build upon each other, with the current justification focusing on the CTO4 task order. Key capabilities to be delivered include Developmental Test and Evaluation, Program & Project Management, Product Management, Architecture and Integration Management, Cybersecurity Management, and various other technical and operational support functions. The government determined this approach through extensive market research, which indicated that substantive digital transformation typically takes 24-36 months, and that most transformation efforts of moderate scale fail without a comprehensive, adaptable approach.
