About this opportunity
The Defense Health Agency (DHA), on behalf of the Department of War, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) closing October 26, 2026, to identify viable hosting, integration, and sustainment approaches for data generated by vendor-developed and Department of Veterans Affairs applications supporting the OBHAT/BHAS Program. This RFI is not a solicitation, commitment to procure, or authorization to incur costs.
DHA lacks a finalized enterprise strategy for hosting, governing, integrating, accessing, retaining, and sustaining program data. The agency seeks vendor input on feasible hosting and data-management models, including government-managed, commercial cloud, vendor-hosted SaaS/PaaS, hybrid, federated, and data warehouse/lake architectures. Respondents must address data ingestion and interoperability (APIs, HL7, FHIR standards), data ownership and portability (access rights, export capabilities, vendor transition provisions), cybersecurity and privacy controls (authorization, encryption, audit logging, sensitive data protection), data governance and lifecycle management (roles, cataloging, retention, disaster recovery), operations and sustainment (staffing, service-level agreements, maintenance), and transition planning.
Responses must include company details, relevant experience with healthcare or government data hosting, technical response with architecture diagrams, rough-order-of-magnitude cost ranges, risk assessments, and answers to ten specific industry questions on hosting model selection, data strategy, vendor requirements, and governance models. Required attachments are an executive summary, technical response addressing all sections, notional architecture diagram, past-performance summaries, cost information, and implementation timeline. A supporting technical specification document, "Minimum Essential Characteristics Table," outlines evaluation criteria across user population management, data sources, volume handling, system availability, recovery procedures, data retention, integration patterns, security controls, data portability, analytics, sustainment support, and transition methodology.
