RFI - DHA Enterprise Polysomnography (PSG) System

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) seeks an enterprise Polysomnography (PSG) capability to standardize sleep disorder diagnosis and management across its 22 laboratories. Current challenges include inconsistent systems, network inaccessibility preventing data transfer to electronic health records (EHR), and obstacles to data exchange, leading to suboptimal patient care and operational inefficiencies. The objectives are to improve diagnostic accuracy, enhance patient accessibility, integrate with existing EHRs, streamline processes with AI tools, and adopt advanced PSG technologies. Key requirements include bi-directional data flow with EHRs for various sleep testing systems (PSG, HSAT, actigraphy), compliance with COCOM deployment standards and AASM guidelines, real-time scoring, and robust data archiving. Functional requirements detail the capture of numerous physiological activities, support for Type I-IV PSG testing, and documentation of universally recognized sleep study scales and events. The capability must also integrate with equipment data, generate various PDF notes, and ideally leverage AI for automated analysis and reporting with high accuracy. Additionally, it needs to support wearable at-home short-term and longitudinal monitoring, as well as FDA-cleared wearable Home Sleep Test (HST) devices, all with stringent validation criteria. Cybersecurity and Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance, including Authorization to Operate (ATO) or commitment to the DHA RMF process, HIPAA adherence, and ongoing security maintenance for a minimum of six years, are mandatory for vendors.

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify contractors capable of providing an Enterprise Polysomnography (PSG) System. This RFI is for market research and planning, not a solicitation for proposals. The DHA faces challenges with inconsistent, isolated, and non-networked PSG systems, hindering accurate diagnosis, data sharing, and integration with electronic health records (EHR). The goal is to consolidate to a single, modernized PSG system that integrates with MHS GENESIS/Cerner, complies with cybersecurity policies, supports CONUS and OCONUS sites, operates in variable network conditions, provides central administration, and utilizes AI tools. Contractors are requested to submit capability statements outlining proposed solutions, including an implementation plan, by June 9, 2026. The RFI also seeks feedback on potential risks and mitigation strategies. The government has not yet determined if a small business set-aside is appropriate.
