Amendment 2 - Revised Context Diagrams.zip

This file is Amendment 2 to a Request for Information (RFI) for the Federal Student Aid (FSA) Technology Modernization Initiative. The amendment provides updates to the RFI process, including a second round of questions and answers scheduled for August 27, 2025, with consolidated Q&A to be posted on September 5, 2025. The final RFI responses are due on September 22, 2025, at 8:00 am ET, with specific submission guidelines that require vendors to include socioeconomic status and government contract vehicle information.

The RFI seeks innovative approaches to modernize FSA's technology ecosystem, with objectives including replacing legacy systems, integrating siloed data, consolidating vendor solutions, and improving services for students and borrowers. FSA is exploring potential approaches such as a "greenfield" rebuild, incremental improvements, or a hybrid solution to address current technological shortcomings. The amendment includes several new attachments: Revised Context Diagrams, FSA Canonical Model, Industry Day Presentation, Industry Day Recording Transcript, and a Thank You Notice. The RFI is being managed by the Department of Education Contracts and Acquisition Management and aims to gather industry insights for implementing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
