Unified Discovery and Disclosure (UDD) Platform

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Technology Acquisition Center in Eatontown, New Jersey, is seeking information for a Unified Discovery and Disclosure (UDD) Platform to replace two legacy systems—CasePoint for eDiscovery and FOIAXpress for eFOIA—with a single, integrated SaaS platform. The solicitation, identified as 36C10B26Q0637, is in the Request for Information (RFI) phase with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, and is classified as a sources-sought notice with no set-aside provisions. The platform must be FedRAMP Moderate authorized, host all data and personnel exclusively within the United States without any offshore access, and support the migration of approximately 350TB of historical data including emails, documents, videos, and other file types from body cameras and litigation systems. It must integrate natively with VA enterprise systems including Microsoft 365 via DCS, FOIA.gov, Pay.gov, and the Administrative Investigations and Notification System, while ensuring chain of custody, audit logging, and defensible redaction capabilities for roughly 1,400 users managing over 124,000 FOIA requests and more than 550 eDiscovery cases annually. Evaluation will focus on technical capability, system functionality, integration expertise, past performance in federal legal technology deployments, and price reasonableness, with the eventual award expected to follow a best-value trade-off approach rather than LPTA. The successful vendor must achieve an Authority to Operate within four months of contract award and support a 15% annual growth in FOIA volume and 8% growth in eDiscovery cases. The NAICS code is 513210, indicating information services, and the platform must comply with NIST-aligned security standards, Federal Records Management regulations, and Privacy Act requirements. While the formal solicitation and contract clauses have not yet been issued, the RFI confirms critical constraints: no physical packaging or delivery requirements apply, all performance is remote, and the platform must support a wide array of digital file formats used in federal legal and investigative workflows. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Kawana Tyler-Simms, with Patrick Hamilton as secondary, both within the VA’s Office of Information and Technology.
