The company will modernize, sustain and continue the move of medical services applications into an Amazon Web Services environment.
ManTech has booked a five-year, $166 million contract to work with the Defense Health Agency on a cloud migration effort that involves a large suite of applications.
DHA has tasked ManTech to modernize, sustain and continue the move of medical services applications to an Amazon Web Services cloud environment. The company said Monday it will apply a scaled agile framework and strategies based on the so-called DevSecOps software development practice.
ManTech and DHA estimate the applications support roughly 25,000 military and civilian users, plus approximately 940,000 daily supply requests and queries.
The agency made the award in late February, citing the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support and Theater Enterprise-Wide Logistics systems as being supported until their full rationalization into the LogiCole environment by August 2027.
LogiCole is a consolidation of the Defense Department's legacy medical logistics applications and is intended to be compatible with the federal electronic health record. LogiCole contains a product catalog database and includes tools for managing health care facilities, shelf life extension, and capital equipment request and approval.
