NDAA 2017, Section 702, Transition Support

The Defense Health Agency awarded a sole source contact to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., for 1 year of support including non-recurring business case modeling and analysis, financial analysis, manpower planning and analysis, functional modeling, and structural analysis required by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to meet Section 702 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). This action continues some services initiated under modification to contract GS-10F-DA003, order HT0011-16-F-0011, which ended August 21st, 2018, although the preponderance of effort is new work. At the conclusion of this order, DHA anticipates completion of all organizational change planning. Implementation of changes will pass to other offices in the DHA.
Section 702 of the NDAA 2017 mandates transfer of certain authorities and control from the Military Departments to the DHA. Beginning October 1, 2018, the DHA will take full responsibility for the health care operations at each of the 400 military treatment facilities worldwide. Congress directed that the plans submitted in July 2018 be accelerated from a four year effort to a two year effort, without relief on the start date of 1 October 2018. Congress also directed a redesign of the plan from a six-region design to a design that has no more than three regions. This requires an acceleration of all components of the plan, as well as significant additional support from the current contractor.
