AI Contract Overview
The Defense Health Agency is seeking to award a sole source contract to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for membership access that enables the agency to utilize NQF-endorsed performance measures for evaluating healthcare practices across the Military Health System. NQF is the only nationally recognized, consensus-based organization designated by the Office of Management and Budget to develop and endorse healthcare quality standards, making it the sole entity capable of fulfilling this requirement. This membership ensures DHA can align its performance measurement initiatives with nationally accepted, evidence-based practices that enhance the health and readiness of service members, their families, and military forces. The contract is not competitive, justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to NQF’s unique statutory role, and no formal evaluation factors or pricing data are included as the award is based solely on this exclusivity. The scope of work involves continuous access to NQF’s endorsed measures, participation in consensus-driven development processes, and the ability to implement standardized metrics used by federal, state, and private-sector entities to assess and improve care delivery. Performance is administrative and delivered at the Defense Health Agency’s office in Falls Church, Virginia, with no physical goods or logistics involved, rendering packaging, marking, and FOB requirements inapplicable. The solicitation number is HT001126QE017, with a response deadline of May 22, 2026, and submissions must be sent via email to designated contracting officers with the correct Notice ID. There are no specified contract value, period of performance, or line-item details, as this is a notice of intent rather than a formal solicitation with pricing. The contracting officer, John Culmer, and alternate point of contact, Nakaura Yusuf, serve as the primary administrative contacts, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named. Acceptance of deliverables is determined by DHA based on compliance with NQF’s rigorously validated performance measures, which are the only federally recognized standards for healthcare quality assessment.

Full Description
DHA seeks to award a sole source contract with National Quality Forum (NQF) to provide access to membership which provides for endorsement of standards for performance measurement and providing a framework for evaluating healthcare practices as part of a consensus-based entity that convenes diverse stakeholders to develop and endorse measures widely accepted across the healthcare industry and aligned with national priorities that enhance the health and readiness of service members and their families while ensuring the readiness of military forces. NQF is the only nationally recognized consensus-based healthcare organization as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This unique status allows the federal government to rely on NQF-defined measures or healthcare practices as the best, evidence-based approaches to improving care. The federal government, states, and private-sector organizations use NQF’s endorsed measures, which must meet rigorous criteria, to evaluate performance and share information with patients and their families.
