AI/ML for Medical Diagnostics

The contract seeks advanced artificial intelligence or machine learning tools designed to enable rapid medical diagnosis and triage in battlefield environments, targeting urgent care scenarios where speed and accuracy are critical. The technology must be field-deployable, resilient under extreme conditions, and capable of supporting frontline medical personnel with automated decision-making for life-threatening injuries or illnesses without reliance on extensive infrastructure or specialist oversight. Solutions are expected to integrate seamlessly with existing military medical systems and comply with stringent security and operational standards for use in combat zones. Subcontractors must submit proposals by October 30, 2026, under the NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services, with performance centered in Frederick, Maryland. The award will be managed by the Defense Health Agency within the Department of Defense, emphasizing innovation in clinical AI applications tailored for austere and dynamic tactical settings. This effort supports broader DoD goals to enhance combat casualty care through intelligent systems that reduce diagnostic delays and improve survival rates under hostile conditions.
