On October 29, 2026, Knowesis Inc. announced a significant step forward in their commitment to support the mental well-being of military personnel by winning a task order with the Defense Health Agency (DHA). This order, which will run until February 2031, is set to enhance the capabilities and deliverables of the Psychological Health Center of Excellence (PHCoE).

Task Order Details

The awarded task order arises from Knowesis' existing OMNIBUS IV Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Following a rigorous competitive evaluation, this task order will commence from September 1, 2026, and provides an extensive scope of services aimed at improving psychological health support systems for service members and their families.

Knowesis, alongside its partner ICF Incorporated, will focus on delivering technical and operational assistance that spans various aspects of PHCoE's mission. The services include business operations management, strategic communication and outreach, handling of large datasets, statistical analysis, psychological health research, research translation, as well as health promotion and behavior change initiatives.

Knowesis’ Proven Track Record

Knowesis has a substantial history of delivering federal health support services, having previously collaborated with the Department of War (DoW) and the Military Health System. The company prides itself on adhering to the highest standards of operational conduct, supported by a Top Secret Facility Clearance and ISO certifications.

With its commitment fortified by a Federal wide Assurance from the Department of Health and Human Services, Knowesis is well-equipped to meet the research and analytics needs of PHCoE. Sheryl Cosing, a Principal at Knowesis, emphasized the significance of this win, stating, “This award reflects Knowesis' long-standing commitment to the psychological health and readiness of our service members and their families.”

Commitment to Excellence

As a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, Knowesis is dedicated to enhancing health support across six federal agencies. The company's longstanding dedication to mental readiness showcases its alignment with the essential missions of the DHA and the Army.

The initiative represents a critical investment in the mental health of service members, providing them access to comprehensive psychological support throughout their service and into their transitions back to civilian life. This award could potentially lead to advancements in the way psychological health is approached within military circles, reflecting growing recognition of the importance of mental health in overall service readiness.

Through this task order, Knowesis not only strengthens its own portfolio but also contributes to improved health outcomes for military personnel and their families. As the landscape of military healthcare continues to evolve, partnerships like those between Knowesis and the DHA will become increasingly vital in addressing the broad spectrum of mental health challenges faced by service members today.

In summary, this contract underscores a pivotal moment for Knowesis and the DHA in their shared mission to enhance psychological health support for those who serve the nation.
