DHA Contracting, on behalf of PEO DHMS, is seeking industry feedback on the below request.

MHS GENESIS was implemented as the first all-in-one record electronic health record (EHR) system for the entire Department of Defense. The MHS GENESIS solution is also used by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the Reserve Components (RCs), the United States Military Entrance Processing Command (US MEPCOM), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) with deployment to the National Security Agency (NSA) in progress. 

MHS GENESIS plays a vital role in ensuring health, increasing readiness, and improving the safety of care.  By standardizing clinical and business processes, MHS GENESIS enables beneficiaries to fully engage in their health care, and focuses on quality, safety, and patient outcomes that will ensure the Military Health System (MHS) can provide high-quality and reliable care globally. 

MHS GENESIS is comprised of inpatient and outpatient software solutions from Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), a dental solution from Henry Schein, an enterprise service bus, a suite of revenue cycle management capabilities, and interfaces to external systems that enhance capability delivery.  MHS GENESIS is supported by uniquely configured and integrated third-party clinical content, functional baseline content (such as workflows, roles, training, and reports), local site “builds” (including formularies, device locations, and clinic information), solution-unique hardware, infrastructure, clinical application services, and turn-key operational management services in a contractor-provided “enclave.”  The core of MHS GENESIS is interfaced with additional commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions, including virtual and behavioral health capabilities from Converge, Conversa, and Silvercloud, virtual health delivery from Phillips eCare, and population health management and analytics from HealtheIntent.

MHS GENESIS provides patients with a single record of care. It integrates inpatient, outpatient, and dental records, and improves communication between patients, military hospitals and clinics, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and civilian health providers.  Patients utilize a portal for seamless, secure messaging with providers and access to their medical history.

MHS GENESIS is a system of systems, meaning that it contains interfaced EHR COTS product components from multiple different sources (e.g., Oracle Health, Henry Schein, etc.).

MHS GENESIS has an enormous scale and level of complexity.  The solution is comprised of 12 major subsystems, utilizes 81 DOD, joint, or commercial interfaces across more than 1,000 end points, and processes at least 20 million messages daily.  MHS GENESIS has more than 975 workflows and more than 200 user roles, and it serves 194,000 users and 9.6 million beneficiaries across 137 commands globally.  MHS GENESIS contains 255 TB of Millenium data growing at 100 TB annually.  The DOD spent 7 years, 2017-2024, migrating data from legacy sites into MHS GENESIS.  Additional data is stored across MHS GENESIS’s 12 major subsystem footprints.

MHS GENESIS is comprised of ~26,000 hardware and software assets to deliver capabilities which need to be scanned every 48 hours for cyber vulnerabilities (and remediated as necessary). During deployment, each of the 26 waves averaged more than 7,500 end points.

The MHS GENESIS system documentation is lacking with respect to the sustainment processes and procedures and internal interface configurations.  Other technical documentation, such as architecture artifacts and system/sub-system design documents, are understandable to the current prime contractor and Government team but need to be revised so they are understandable to a third party.  This would include documenting how the system is configured, and how the system is maintained and operated, and who is responsible for various functions.  Because MHS GENESIS is in the process of migrating to the cloud, the documentation would need to be developed during the migration, completed within approximately six months after the cloud migration is complete, and the process would require cooperation with the current prime contractor.  The final documentation deliverables should provide offerors with sufficient information to competitively respond to a full and open competition to support MHS GENESIS, including systems integration, hosting, and software licensing.  

The Government is seeking industry feedback to address the following:

1. What is the best approach to creating and maintaining consistent and comprehensive documentation in an environment such as that of MHS GENESIS where there are multiple vendors (for example, multiple COTS product component vendors)?
2. What, if any, risks or lessons learned should be taken into account when creating and maintaining system documentation in an environment such as MHS GENESIS?
3. Where should lines of responsibility by drawn between software component vendors responsible for delivery as opposed to software component vendors responsible for documentation? With respect to coordinating the drafting of documentation?  With respect to consolidating documentation?
4. Any recommended incentive(s) or disincentive(s) to promote a cohesive and cooperative working relationship between and among a contractor engaged to develop documentation, the MHS GENESIS prime contractor, and the COTS product component vendors? 
5. What are important Service Level Agreement (SLA) measurements and key outcomes the Government should consider for the documentation services? How would you recommend measuring success for each recommended SLA and key outcome?
6. How can innovation be used to support the creation and maintenance of  technical documentation to support MHS GENESIS?

Small Business Set Aside

1. Is this a capability that Small Business or 8(a) could support as a set aside? Provide a reasoning for your response.
2. Please advise what NAICS code and reasoning in accordance with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting.  Please also identify whether you qualify under such NAICS code as a small business or 8(a).

SECTION M: EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD FAR 52.212-2 -- EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the

solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered pursuant to FAR 15.101-2. Offers will be evaluated and contracts awarded on a line-by-line item basis. An offer for a line item will be evaluated independently from all other line item(s) for a contract award. Government awards will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

FACTOR 2: PRICE

Technical capability and price are of equal importance. Award(s) will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer from a responsible offeror. In making a determination as to responsibility, the Government reserves the right to conduct a preaward survey.

A. FACTOR 1: Technical Capability

In order to be considered, an offeror must meet or exceed the technical capability standards as follows:

Acceptable: An offer must meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, including the requirement schedule and product specification requirements in Section B, and delivery requirements in Section F. In order to meet these minimum requirements for the product specification subfactor, an offeror must submit a Certificate of Analysis (COA) or Certificate of Quality (COQ) and Commitment Letter demonstrating that the offeror can meet the applicable specification for the product offered based on DoD Standard practice established for Bunkers servicing of fuels at commercial ports in accordance with the Military Standards (MIL-STD) 1548H w/CHANGE 1.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Any Offeror who receives an overall Technical rating of "Unacceptable" after final proposal revisions will not be eligible for an award. The Contracting Officer will evaluate proposals using the criteria above for each line item. Offerors who fail to meet minimal technical requirements of the solicitation will be determined to be technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award. In addition to meeting the technical acceptability requirements above, an Offeror must be determined responsible in accordance with FAR subpart 9.1. The government may conduct a pre-award survey as part of making a determination as to an Offeror’s responsibility. Additionally, if an Offeror who is not the actual Refueler at a location, the Offeror must submit supplier commitment letters demonstrating that the Offeror has secured arrangements that will enable it to support orders for the product specified, in accordance with the requirement schedule, and consistent with the delivery requirements and all other terms and conditions in the solicitation. Such commitment letters should be submitted with the Offeror’s initial proposal.

B. FACTOR 2: Price

The offered unit price for each individual line will be multiplied by the estimated quantity resulting in a total base period contract price for that line item. The lowest price will be determined by evaluating offers on a line-by-line-item basis. Each line item will be evaluated and awarded independently from all other line items. 1. Based on evaluation and extension provision I209.09, options will be considered and evaluated as part of the award. In accordance with clause I209.09 Extension Provisions, the unit price offered for each solicited line item will be multiplied by the estimated 6-month quantity for that line item. The total extension price will be added to the total base price in evaluating the proposal. The addition of the extension price does not obligate the government to exercise the option.

Competitive Range Establishment:

The Government will evaluate all proposals in accordance with FAR 15.305(a) and reserves the right to establish a competitive range and award without discussions in accordance with FAR 15.306(a)(3). Communication with Offerors for clarification may be conducted before a competitive range is established, per FAR 15.306(a). If discussions will be conducted, the Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range. Based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria, the Contracting Officer shall establish a competitive range comprised of the most highly rated proposals, unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency. In accordance with FAR 15.306 (c)(2), the Contracting Officer may determine that the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. The Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals, per FAR 15.306 (c)(2). If the Contracting Officer decides that an Offeror’s proposal should no longer be included in the competitive range, the proposal shall be eliminated from consideration for award and the Contracting Officer will provide written notice of elimination from the competitive range to unsuccessful Offerors in accordance with FAR Part 15.503(a)(1). (b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether
