The system must authenticate, validate, and route data reliably while loggin all transfer activities for audit and accountability purposes. This is a subcontract under NAICS code 518210, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs through Rpo East, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026. Performance location is not specified, but the work is tied to VA infrastructure and must adhere to all applicable federal information security protocols. The scope emphasizes automation and security as core objectives, requiring proposers to demonstrate experience with secure data pipelines, healthcare data handling, and zero-trust architecture. No set-aside designation is listed, and the solicitation remains open for submissions until the published deadline.
