Cognitive Monitoring Tool

The Defense Health Agency’s Enterprise Medical Services – Contracting Division is procuring a Cognitive Monitoring Tool under a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract justified by unusual and compelling urgency, with a one-year period of performance beginning around March 2026. The tool is a cloud-native, zero-footprint, browser-based application designed for enterprise-wide deployment to support Operation Epic Fury, enabling real-time cognitive screening of warfighters without any local software installation. It requires seamless API integration with the Defense Operations Warehouse (DOW) systems and delivers Human Performance Optimization capabilities across the Total Force, with performance officially designated to Hampton, London, though access is global for authorized users. The contract is awarded to H2 Cognitive Designs due to the unique technical properties of its Cognitron system, which has been deemed irreplaceable under current operational timelines, eliminating the need for competition or traditional evaluation factors. No physical delivery, packaging, or MIL-STD labeling applies; access is provided via secure URL with cryptographic authentication, and acceptance is based on functional performance rather than formal inspection criteria. The acquisition is governed by the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (RFO) framework, replacing standard FAR clauses, with no listed contract line items, pricing details, or appropriation codes publicly available. There are no options, subcontracts, or socioeconomic certifications documented, and no technical representations or certifications from the offeror are provided beyond internal administrative approvals. The contracting officer is Raul Garcia at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and the procurement relies entirely on price analysis to determine fairness and reasonableness, with no formal invoicing, payment, or accounting instructions specified in the available information.
