About this file

This document contains a Request for Information from the Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid regarding modernization of its Central Processing System.

The RFI seeks industry input on capabilities for creating and implementing a new Award Eligibility Determination system to replace the existing CPS. The AED would receive applicant information from the FAFSA and other federal systems and calculate Expected Family Contribution. Responses to the RFI will inform FSA's planning for the AED modernization effort. No proposals or commitments are being solicited at this time. Interested parties are advised no reimbursement will be provided for administrative costs associated with responding to the RFI.

A separate attachment outlines authorization requirements for hosting environments, including allowing 66 calendar days prior to planned go-live for independent assessment and system documentation approval. The assessment period is 52 days from kickoff to authorization decision, with an additional 14 days for the authorizing official to make a final determination.
