DK10--VA Enterprise Cloud

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Technology Acquisition Center in Eatontown, New Jersey, is conducting market research for the VA Enterprise Cloud initiative under solicitation number 36C10B26Q0050, using NAICS code 541519 and product service code DK10. This activity is a Request for Information (RFI) aimed at gathering industry input on cloud service provider strategies, pricing models, credit and incentive programs, cost optimization tools, service-level agreements, and artificial intelligence integration capabilities, primarily within FedRAMP High-certified environments on AWS and Microsoft Azure. The RFI is strictly for informational purposes, with no commitment to award a contract, and responses were due by November 12, 2025. The contracting office is seeking feedback to inform the development of a future acquisition strategy, which remains undetermined at this stage. All responses must be submitted via email to Lauren H. Sankar, Contract Specialist, and John Fields, Contracting Officer, and must include vendor identification, DUNS number, business size classification, and details on existing federal contracts, with special attention to socioeconomic status indicators such as SDVOSB or WOSB, though no formal certifications or representations are required. The VA is evaluating potential modular, performance-based approaches to cloud services to support approximately 757 applications critical to healthcare and benefits delivery for veterans, with performance expected to occur virtually through certified cloud platforms rather than at a physical location, though administrative oversight resides in Eatontown, NJ. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing estimates, award methodologies, inspection criteria, or formal delivery schedules are included, as this document does not constitute a solicitation but is instead a pre-acquisition market research tool. The RFI explicitly supersedes any prior market research efforts with RFI 36C10B26Q0492, and all information gathered will inform the structure of a future procurement that may adopt a multi-year, outcomes-based contract model aligned with VA’s appropriation cycles and cloud credit funding mechanisms.
