The OutFit has provided superior Sustainment Support for the DMLSS-FM Program since 2015, providing direct support to over 29 million SF of medical and support facilities. The task includes Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support – Facility Management (DMLSS-FM), Real Property Installed Equipment (RPIE) Quality Assurance Support, Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) services, and Medical Knowledge Management Support services to the Department of Defense locations around the world, including the Continental U.S., Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, Korea, and Germany. To successfully manage a project of this magnitude, The OutFit employs a Program Manager with over 25 years of experience in DoD medical operations, along with several technical experts, analysts, and skilled on-site database specialists.

The Military Health System (MHS) has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, driven by the creation of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) in 2013. This shift centralizes medical logistics and facility management across the Department of Defense (DoD), creating a more cohesive and efficient system for managing healthcare facilities worldwide. The Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS) program plays a key role in this transformation, enhancing medical logistics support and reducing operational costs globally. It improves the responsiveness of healthcare delivery, not just in peacetime, but also during wartime, ensuring that medical supplies and equipment are readily available for military operations.

DMLSS integrates logistics, medical information management, and technology to streamline processes across MTFs, providing a comprehensive range of services from material and equipment management to financial oversight. Its automation features allow the DoD to enhance operational efficiency, while supporting a global command structure that improves visibility and control over medical assets. The system is closely tied to global logistics and finance systems, ensuring smooth coordination and asset tracking across multiple nations and theaters of operation.

The DMLSS program’s Facility Management (FM) application plays an essential role in supporting global healthcare infrastructure. It standardizes facility management practices, ensuring that military healthcare facilities across the world are maintained to the highest standards. By providing tools for project management, regulatory compliance, and space management, the FM application ensures that facilities can support healthcare operations effectively. The integration of digital blueprints and real-time data management enables better decision-making regarding facility maintenance and capital investment.
By giving facility managers comprehensive insights into facility conditions and equipment status, it supports more proactive and cost-effective lifecycle management. This integration aids in strategic planning, enabling DHA to align its capital investments with long-term goals, reducing overall costs, and enhancing the sustainability of global healthcare facilities.

The global influence of DMLSS extends beyond logistical and financial improvements. It supports the development and maintenance of healthcare facilities that provide vital services to military personnel and their families worldwide. By leveraging DMLSS, the DoD can ensure that military treatment facilities are well-equipped, properly maintained, and fully compliant with international standards. This global infrastructure management improves operational readiness, supports wartime and peacetime healthcare needs, and helps the DoD meet its strategic goals more effectively.

Ultimately, DMLSS is a critical tool in managing the military’s global healthcare facilities, enhancing both the operational efficiency of medical logistics and the long-term sustainability of military healthcare infrastructure. It streamlines operations, ensures regulatory compliance, and supports global readiness, making it an indispensable part of the Military Health System’s modernization and mission success.
