R499--(New) VISN-22 Project Management Information System SaaS (VA-26-00059514)

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Technology Acquisition Center in Eatontown, New Jersey, is seeking market information via a Request for Information (RFI) for a Commercial-off-the-Shelf Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to replace its current project management process under the VISN-22 Project Management Information System initiative. The RFI, issued under solicitation number 36C10B26Q0451 and NAICS code 541519, targets a cloud-hosted PMIS platform equivalent to or better than the Kahua system, with the goal of enabling 400 users—150 VA staff and 250 support contractors—to manage healthcare and Architect-Engineering-Construction workflows including RFIs, submittals, change orders, and infection control through a fully configurable, browser-based interface. The system must include a native Business Process Management engine, sealed bid management portal, configurable dashboards and reports, and maintain active FedRAMP Moderate authorization and a VA Authority to Operate throughout performance, while also satisfying Section 508 accessibility standards and Trusted Internet Connection requirements under OMB M-19-26. All responses are due by June 3, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST and must be emailed to Elena.Juliano@va.gov with a strict 15-page limit, no marketing materials permitted, and file sizes under 5 MB. Respondents must map their solution to each requirement, identify any gaps with corresponding implementation plans, costs, and timelines, and provide an informal quote. Proposals must include corporate experience, technical capability summaries, and a vendor self-certification affirming compliance with Unbiased AI Principles under OMB M-26-04 if artificial intelligence is included; failure to provide this certification renders the proposal ineligible. The solution must be delivered electronically with FOB Destination terms, and the contractor must provide full system maintenance, onboarding, technical support, and a designated Client Success Manager. The contract, if awarded, would have a base period of one year with four one-year options. Security and privacy requirements are extensive: all personnel must undergo VA vetting under Directive 0710, conform to NISPOM standards, operate only within U.S. jurisdiction, and ensure systems meet VA Critical Security Controls under a Zero Trust model. The contractor must implement tamper-evident packaging and chain-of-custody documentation for any physical deliverables, use VA-approved FIPS
