Cognosante Awarded DHA Omnibus IV Contract for Translation Science Support and Services

Cognosante, a mission-driven technology company, has been awarded a Defense Health Agency Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract to provide knowledge translation services and research and development support to the Department of Defense.

The $10 billion Defense Health Agency Omnibus contract vehicle is intended to enhance warfighter health and readiness by effectively integrating the latest medical knowledge and solutions into the Military Health System. The current iteration, Omnibus IV, builds upon the work of its predecessors by specifically addressing translation science, a specialty field focused on transitioning research into practice. The award positions Cognosante to pursue task orders as a prime contractor under Market Segment 4: Translational Science Support and Services and as a subcontractor for both Market Segment 4 and Market Segment 2: Research and Development Support Services.

“We are thrilled to be among those selected for the DHA Omnibus IV IDIQ,” says Philip Dietz, General Manager of Cognosante’s Military and Veterans Health Business Unit. “This win builds upon our extensive implementation science experience in the Military Health System and offers new opportunities to demonstrate value through impactful work that supports the health and readiness of the warfighter.”

Cognosante currently provides support to the Defense Health Agency Implementation Science Branch in addition to supporting enterprise-wide implementation of high reliability organization principles and practices across the Veterans Health Administration. Dietz continued, “Cognosante is a recognized partner to the Defense Health Agency in its efforts to implement research-back solutions across the Military Health System. We look forward to the opportunity to expand our existing capabilities and infrastructure in service to the DoD and DHA.”
