Cloud Infrastructure Migration & Rehosting

The contract mandates the secure and seamless migration of the Digital GI Bill platform from a vendor-managed AWS GovCloud environment to infrastructure owned and controlled by the Department of Veterans Affairs, ensuring zero downtime throughout the transition. This rehosting effort must fully comply with all federal security standards, including those governing data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, to protect sensitive veteran information and maintain operational continuity. The project requires precise planning, execution, and validation to guarantee that all system functionalities, integrations, and data remain intact and accessible during and after the move. The work is to be performed under a subcontract classified under NAICS code 541511, with the place of performance located in Washington, D.C., and a response deadline of August 28, 2026. The initiative is led by the Veterans Benefits Administration under the Department of Veterans Affairs, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to reclaiming full ownership of critical digital services and enhancing long-term control, oversight, and compliance with federal IT and cybersecurity mandates. The migration must be executed with no disruption to veterans’ access to benefits information and services, demanding robust testing, redundancy measures, and real-time monitoring protocols throughout the process.
