Scope
Amendment 0001 to this notice is to push out the anticipated posting of the solicitation to late November 2026.
This is a pre-solicitation notice to synopsize the intention of the Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an on-ramp to the OMNIBUS IV Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle covering military medical research and development services.
A historical pre-solicitation notice was posted under Notice ID# HT942626RE002, although there were various delays with getting a solicitation out in Fiscal Year 2026.
This notice is taking over where Notice ID# HT942626RE002 left off.
No further delays are anticipated at this time for this on-ramp.
The eventual RFP will be set-aside for small businesses certified under the Small Business Administration 8(a) Program.
The Government anticipates making multiple new awards under this on-ramp, and all new awards will align with the existing unrestricted contract vehicle.
This notice is not a request for proposals and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement.
The OMNIBUS IV contract vehicle was awarded under full and open competition with a base ordering period of 20 June 2022 through 19 June 2027 and an Option Ordering Period of 20 June 2027 - 19 June 2032.
Task orders may be competed under fair opportunity (providing all Contract Holders within a Market Segment the opportunity to submit a proposal) or an exception to fair opportunity (such as set-asides for small businesses or applicable small business socioeconomic categories).
The cumulative ceiling of this unrestricted IDIQ contract vehicle is $10 billion.
To date, the accumulated awarded task order value (including future unexercised option periods) is over $690 million acros...

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
