Defense Health Agency Call for Solutions

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) seeks commercial medical providers to partner under an Other Transaction Agreement to enhance the readiness of the Military Health System (MHS). The core problem is ensuring all MHS medical personnel maintain clinical proficiency for large-scale combat operations, requiring increased caseloads beyond traditional methods. DHA invites inventive solutions, including referral processes, EHR integration, billing interoperability, credentialing commercial providers within DHA facilities, sharing excess MHS capacity (e.g., Walter Reed National Military Medical Center), and integrating commercial and MHS teams. Vendors must submit white papers (max two pages or 15 slides) by October 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM CST, detailing their proposed solution, anticipated challenges, and preliminary approaches. Solutions will be evaluated on viability and innovativeness. The goal is to develop repeatable concepts for the MHS, starting with the National Capital Region.
