About this vehicle
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center established a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside Master IDIQ for customer experience, DevOps, and agile delivery services on March 29, 2021, with ordering authority that expired March 28, 2026. The vehicle carried a combined potential value of $247.3 million across 45 task orders, of which $244.5 million was obligated by the ordering deadline.
The vehicle is now closed to new task orders. Activity peaked in 2023 with 15 orders awarded, declining to 10 in 2024 and 2 in the final year before expiration. The most recent order was issued December 19, 2025 to support a Veteran and Family Member Program status tool on VA.gov.
CEDAR contracted agile software delivery, user research, product management, API development, automated testing, CI/CD infrastructure, and DevOps support for VA's modernization and veteran-facing digital products. Scope centered on VA.gov product teams and applications, including benefits and claims workflows, health enrollment, identity and authentication experiences, content management systems, notification services, and clinical decision support platforms. Task orders funded work within the United States and used both firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing, with individual task-order ceilings under $10 million.
Three firms dominated the vehicle. Agile Six Applications, Inc. held 18 orders totaling $96.3 million in combined potential value; Oddball, Inc. held 14 orders for $71.1 million; and Coforma LLC held 10 orders for $62.1 million. Magnum Opus, LLC captured 3 orders valued at $15 million. These four primes accounted for all 45 task orders and 100 percent of combined potential value. Ninety-eight percent of orders were designated SDVOSB; one order in 2024 carried no set-aside designation.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center was the sole customer across the vehicle's lifetime. It has replaced CEDAR with a successor vehicle, VA Secure, Performant, Reliable, and User-Centered Experiences IDIQ, awarded October 1, 2024.
Description
CEDAR will support VA's modernization initiatives by ensuring VA has streamlined access to the modern commercial services required to deliver digital products to VA's internal and external users. Successfully delivering such products often requires VA obtain commercial agile delivery services supported by teams with capabilities in user-centered design, user research, product management, agile application development, Application Programming Interface (API) development, automated testing, cloud infrastructure design and management, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and/or Development Operations (DevOps).
