How to Get Involved

“DoD’s research and development efforts are conducted by government labs, non-profit research institutions, and defense companies. Innovation originates from all of these, but increasingly, comes from the commercial sector and overseas. Our ability to identify and utilize sources of innovation and technology effectively rests on the professionalism of our workforce.”Mr. Frank KendallUnder Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Better Buying Power 3.0 Memorandum


The updated Vendor Engagement process allows the DHA to remove the subjectivity and bias out of the equation and focus directly on the results and impact to the Enterprise. That equation is driven by the why, the what, the where and the how.

DHA Enhanced Vendor Engagement

• Leverages the MHS’ open-source analytical tool

• Aligns emerging solutions with DHA mission areas; actualizes and enhances the DHA HIT LRTA

• Evaluates the applicability of new technologies to the military health landscape

• Generates interest in new Research and Development

• Collects data through a standard Vendor Information Form (VIF) (www.health.mil/VIF)
