# DHA Accelerates Mission-Aligned Healthcare Acquisition

Defense Health Agency acquisition leader Matthew Clark is implementing a 30-60-90-day DELIVER Care transition plan to align research, acquisition, and contracting with warfighter readiness, measurable outcomes, and faster delivery. DHA plans closer portfolio scrutiny, which could lead to winding down work considered low-value. The signals also identify a commercial-solutions effort for the Data Exchange Platform and a research-support multiple-award IDIQ as areas of procurement interest; they announce no award, solicitation number, contract value, or procurement deadline.

- Contractors supporting DHA should be prepared to demonstrate how their work contributes to mission outcomes and measurable warfighter readiness objectives.
- The Data Exchange Platform modernization effort and research-support IDIQ are the specific procurement areas identified; the signals do not provide solicitation details or a response timeline.
- Companies working across DHA portfolios can assess whether their offerings align with Clark’s stated priorities for faster acquisition, mission-aligned spending, and stronger oversight.
