DESCRIPTION
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Health Security (OHS) is conducting market research to inform the acquisition strategy and technical requirements for a commercial, configurable Occupational/Employee Health Electronic Health Record / Management Information System (Occ Health EHR/MIS) to support the health and readiness of DHS civilian personnel particularly law enforcement and other safety sensitive roles across the full employment lifecycle, from preplacement through retirement or separation.
OHS is the principal medical, workforce health and safety, and public health authority for DHS. OHS leads and coordinates health security activities across DHS Components, including:

To support these missions, OHS, in coordination with DHS Components and the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), is assessing options for a commercial Occ Health EHR/MIS that can:
- Serve as the authoritative occupational health record and repository for DHS civilian personnel (~200,000 employees);
- Support both direct care clinics and Components that primarily review exams performed by external providers;
- Combine encounter based clinical documentation with robust medical surveillance, longitudinal case management, and exposure informed decision support;
- Operate securely across a multi-Component, high risk, and geographically dispersed workforce.
RFI PURPOSE
The purpose of this RFI is to:
- Inform industry of DHS-wide occupational and employee health EHR/MIS requirements, needs and objectives;
- Understand current commercial capabilities and deployment approaches; and
- Obtain feedback that may inform future acquisition planning and strategy.

Background
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Health Security (OHS) is conducting market research to inform the acquisition strategy and technical requirements for a commercial, configurable Occupational/Employee Health Electronic Health Record / Management Information System (Occ Health EHR/MIS).
This system aims to support the health and readiness of DHS civilian personnel, particularly in law enforcement and other safety-sensitive roles, throughout their employment lifecycle from pre-placement to retirement or separation. OHS is the principal medical, workforce health and safety, and public health authority for DHS, coordinating health security activities across various DHS Components.
Work Details
The Occ Health EHR/MIS will serve as an authoritative occupational health record for approximately 200,000 DHS civilian employees. It must support both direct care clinics and components that review exams from external providers.
Key functionalities include:
- Combining encounter-based clinical documentation with robust medical surveillance and longitudinal case management.
- Enabling secure operation across a multi-component, high-risk workforce.
- Supporting occupational health activities including employee health examinations, workplace injury documentation, drug testing workflows, immunizations, medical readiness management, and longitudinal medical surveillance.
- Integrating with existing DHS systems for HR data and external exam providers. The solution must also ensure compliance with relevant laws such as OSHA, HIPAA, and others while providing role-based access controls to protect sensitive information.
Place of Performance
The contract will be performed within a DHS-approved cloud environment located within the continental United States.
Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract activity under DHS Office of Health Security, including task order support for electronic patient care reporting systems. For example, The One 23 Group received a $196,687 task order (05/10/25–05/09/26) for professional services supporting an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) function for OHS, and Widepoint Integrated Solutions received a $58,291 task order (09/22/25–09/21/26) providing mobile support and services for the EPCR OHS systems and applications. These prior efforts appear related to the current Occ Health EHR/MIS requirement because they involve ongoing support/security and operational services for OHS electronic health record–adjacent applications that likely share similar workflows, integrations, and governance needs.
