“Official office” staff designations are made on an annual basis during the designation period for the following calendar year or upon hire, so a mid-year transition would not change your eligibility. Employment in a non-“official office” designated staff position during a subsequent designation period would allow you to select coverage under an OPM-contracted FEHB plan during that Open Enrollment period, but you would continue your DC Health Link coverage through the end of the calendar year.
