Ruggedized Laptop Servers for Operational Assessment of Healthcare Delivery Role 3

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) - Contracting Division - Defense Healthcare Management Systems (CD-DHMS), in support of the Program Executive Office for Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) Joint Operational Medicine Information Systems (JOMIS) Program Office (PMO), intends to issue a sole source purchase order to, RUGGED SYSTEMS INC of POWAY, CA, for RUGGED PORTABLE SERVERS in support of its Operational Assessment being conducted on the soon to be delivered Healthcare Delivery Role 3 application. As described in FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. The contemplated action described below is intended to be awarded under these circumstances. Multiple Agencies have begun the establishment of an electronic health record (EHR) to securely document, store, retrieve, share, and analyze information about individual patient care and enable a digital version of a patient's health record. This is a necessary step to provide state of the art care for our service members and veterans. To fully realize the benefits of EHR, the DoD, as executed by the JOMIS PMO, is implementing a Healthcare Delivery Knowledge Management Solution based on MHS GENESIS-Theater. JOMIS partners closely with CD-DHMS for awarding contract vehicles. Operational Medicine providers require solutions that enable bi-directional data flow, - fit-for-purpose, scalable, configurable, enabling healthcare delivery documentation, with clinical decision support (CDS) in the disconnected, intermittent and low-communications (DIL) environment. JOMIS mission is to deliver these capabilities, in particular, the HCD Modernization effort must provide fit for purpose, modular capabilities that enable the capture of data and transmission of data throughout the deployed continuum of care. This effort will address critical gaps to document preventative healthcare and patient encounters; manage patient data, ancillary data, and maintain patient visibility; and provide decision support to Health Service Support providers in austere environments. The HCD Role 3 solution will soon be ready for Government testing. In order to successfully test the solution, the Government requires representative hardware as that specified by the Military Services and deployed into their operational environments. Any other hardware would not provide accurate, meaningful test results, upon the which the Government can rely to deliver essential healthcare services in wartime. Therefore, the Government is seeking to issue a purchase order for four rugged portable servers on which to install the solution.
