# DHA Finalizes $317.9M MHS Genesis Bridge Contract

The Defense Health Agency finalized a bridge contract with Leidos on October 13, 2026, with a **$317.9 million ceiling** and performance through January 2028 to support MHS Genesis as DHA transitions away from the lead systems integrator model. The contract’s scope is expected to decline as DHA moves toward direct arrangements with underlying technology and service providers, creating potential follow-on work for companies supporting the health record, software, hosting, and related services.

- Leidos holds the bridge contract; Oracle Health provides the main MHS Genesis health record, while Philips North America, American Well Corp., and Henry Schein are identified as prospective direct-contract providers.
- The shift toward direct provider arrangements may change how work is competed and managed. Companies in the MHS Genesis supply chain should assess where their products or services could fit into DHA’s evolving acquisition approach.
- The bridge contract runs through January 2028, but its scope is expected to taper. Contractors should distinguish near-term support needs from potential follow-on opportunities; the signal does not specify solicitation dates or confirmed awards to prospective providers.
