Defense Health Agency Seeks Biometric Wellness Data Solutions

The Defense Health Agency (DHA), operating under the Department of Defense (DoD), has issued a Sources Sought notice to gather information on biometric data technologies and services for workforce wellness. The notice, identified as HT0011-25-RFI-0224, was published last week, with responses due by February 24, 2025, at 12:00 pm CST in Falls Church, Virginia.

The DHA seeks input from vendors to understand the current market for biometric data solutions. The agency wants to assess available technologies, vendor capabilities, and innovative approaches to shape future solicitations. The effort supports DHA’s goal of enhancing workforce wellness through biometric applications.

The notice specifies requirements for Cayuse (formerly iMedRIS) licenses for the Electronic Institutional Review Board (EIRB) system and support services for the iRIS enterprise software platform. The work encompasses system operations and maintenance support for the EIRB system and associated Commercial Off-The-Shelf software, including operating systems and databases. It also includes software maintenance, upgrades, and compliance updates. The selected vendor must meet DoD cybersecurity standards, including DoDI 8500.01 (Cybersecurity) and DoDI 8510.01 (Risk Management Framework for DoD IT). The scope also covers user training and system documentation.

The DHA seeks vendors offering innovative biometric data solutions for workforce wellness. Vendors should provide comprehensive details about how their technologies and services meet the requirements. Small businesses can receive free guidance on government contracting through APEX Accelerators (formerly PTAP), a DoD-funded resource.

The initiative reflects ongoing trends in defense and healthcare technology. The U.S. Army has previously sought next-generation healthcare technologies, including digital health and predictive analytics, to modernize the Military Health System. Health-tracking wearables and biometric authentication systems continue to advance globally.
