The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), on behalf of the Program Executive Office Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) Joint Operational Medicine Information System (JOMIS) Program Management Office, is conducting market research to support the modernization of Joint medical planning, modeling, and simulation capabilities. The effort will inform a future acquisition to replace the legacy Joint Medical Planning Tool (JMPT) and Medical Planners Toolkit (MPTk) with a cloud-capable, joint-interoperable solution supporting operational medical planning across the Military Medical Enterprise. This announcement is a Request for Information intended to shape acquisition planning and future requirements.
The JOMIS PMO is seeking a capability that models the complete casualty continuum from the point of injury outside the continental United States through theater hospitalization, patient movement, definitive treatment in the continental United States, and return to duty. The modernized platform is intended to support medical planning for Large-Scale Combat Operations, Defense Support of Civil Authorities, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief missions, and multi-domain operations while improving survivability, patient safety, and operational decision-making.
According to the RFI, the existing JMPT and MPTk applications no longer meet the operational and logistical needs of the Joint medical planning community. PEO DHMS is seeking industry input on capabilities that replace static planning assumptions with dynamic modeling using operational and Electronic Health Record data. Areas of interest include casualty and patient flow modeling, medical logistics forecasting, blood and medical materiel consumption, physiological deterioration during delayed evacuation, resource utilization, and statistical analysis of supply shortages. The solution must also ingest and normalize data from Joint, Service-specific, and coalition systems while producing interoperable outputs for downstream Department of Defense systems.
The RFI also outlines the technical direction for the future capability. DHA is seeking a cloud-native platform that operates in disconnected, disrupted, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments, supports DevSecOps and Continuous Authority to Operate pathways, aligns with DoD IL5/IL6 and RMF security requirements, and scales to support large operational scenarios. Desired capabilities include Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to improve casualty prediction, automate scenario generation, identify resource bottlenecks, and assist users with system functionality. The effort also includes lifecycle support for deployment, training, user adoption, release management, and Tier 3 engineering support.
This announcement is relevant to defense health IT contractors, modeling and simulation firms, military logistics software providers, cloud platform integrators, DevSecOps contractors, AI/ML companies, and systems integrators supporting PEO DHMS, JOMIS, or Joint operational planning programs. Companies with experience delivering secure, interoperable planning and decision-support capabilities for the Department of Defense should monitor this effort as requirements mature.
