The Defense Health Agency announced plans to add new contractors (an "on-ramp") to its OMNIBUS IV multiple-award contract for military medical research and development, open only to 8(a)-certified small businesses. The current notice, Amendment 0006, only redirects readers to a different notice ID (HT942627RE002), where the actual solicitation was posted. The OMNIBUS IV contract has a $10 billion ceiling.
Things to watch
- Wrong notice ID; solicitation is elsewhere. This notice does not hold the solicitation; look up Notice ID HT942627RE002 instead, since no more amendments will be issued here.
Please instead refer to any notices with the Notice ID# HT942627RE002.
- 8(a) only. Only SBA-certified 8(a) firms can take part in this on-ramp; other small businesses are shut out.
This solicitation will be set-aside for small businesses certified under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Program.
- Dates in the attachment appear out of date. The attachment gave late February 2026 for the RFP, while the notice text says the on-ramp solicitation was not posted in FY2026, so rely on the new notice for dates.
the solicitation for the OMNIBUS IV on-ramp was not posted in FY2026.
- Proposals only through PIEE. A company needs PIEE roles set up in advance to submit, which can take time.
Any proposals in response to the RFP are to be submitted through the Solicitation module.
- Broad scientific scope. Work covers regulated medical research areas (FDA rules, human subjects, animal use), so firms without that background may struggle to compete.
