Financial Improvement & Audit Remediation (FIAR) and Audit Support Services

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is seeking Financial Improvement & Audit Remediation (FIAR) and Audit Support Services through a labor-hour contract solicitation. The requirement involves providing program management, audit response, risk management, and internal controls support across Defense Health Network National Capital Region facilities. Contractors must provide personnel across multiple labor categories including Program Manager, Financial & Actuarial Managers/Analysts, Enterprise Performance Analysts, and Strategic & Communications Analysts. The evaluation will be based on three factors: Technical Approach & Capability and Past Performance (equally weighted and significantly more important than price), with quotes assessed using a combined technical/risk rating method. Key proposal requirements include a minimum 20% small business participation, submission of past performance references from the last 3 years, and documentation of personnel qualifications. The solicitation was originally posted on January 17, 2025, with quotes due by February 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.

The contract is an unrestricted acquisition with no specific small business set-aside, though small business participation is required. The base period is 12 months, with four additional 12-month option periods potentially extending the contract through March 2030. Performance will primarily occur in the National Capital Region, specifically at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center, with some telework options available. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the NAICS code 541611 has a size standard of $24.5 million, suggesting potential significant contract value. The solicitation covers approximately 15 full-time equivalent positions across various labor categories, with estimated hours ranging from 1,912 to 5,736 hours per labor category per year. Contractors must demonstrate experience with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, financial statement audits, and DoD audit readiness requirements, with key personnel needing specific certifications and extensive Military Health System experience.
