Enterprise Learning Management Solutions (ELMS), 36C10B22Q0300 The purpose of this notice is to notify industry that in collaboration with Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization, Direct Access Program, the Office of Human Resources and Administration/Operations Security and Preparedness Human Capital Services Center, will hold a Virtual Business Opportunity Session.

The mission of the Department of VA Human Capital Services Center (HCSC) is to provide a delightful customer experience and engage VA employees with products and services that will enable them to become role models in serving Veterans and their families. To deliver on this mission, HCSC strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient Information Technology (IT) services to those employees. The VA depends on IT systems to meet mission goals; one of those goals is to implement a new enterprise learning management solution. The anticipated VA Enterprise Learning Management Solution (ELMS) shall include a comprehensive, modernized, and intuitive set of tools to support employees and other workforce members in their individual development planning, succession management, career development, competency assessment, skills acquisition, and training goals. Any new ELMS will replace the current solution (i.e., Talent Management System (TMS)), integrate with VA’s other human capital management and business solutions and serve as an authoritative data source to facilitate data management and data sharing across the Department.

The goal of this Virtual Industry Day is to provide Industry with the latest information relative to the VA’s proposed ELMS acquisition; and obtain Industry’s insights and ideas as to how VA can achieve its goals and draft technical requirements as captured within the attached Preliminary Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).
