This is a modification notice extending the response deadline for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center. The RFI, numbered 36C10B26Q0383, concerns an Integrated eNotifications Service Pilot via Direct Secure Messaging (VA-26-00049664) and is classified under Product Service Code DA10 and NAICS Code 541519. The original response deadline of Monday, May 4, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST has been extended to Monday, May 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. The contracting office is located at 23 Christopher Way, Eatontown, NJ 07724, with Amanda Bleses serving as the primary point of contact at Amanda.Bleses@va.gov.

The underlying RFI addresses a critical gap in the Veterans Health Administration's ability to receive timely notifications of Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) events for Veterans receiving care outside VA facilities, including community hospitals, emergency departments, and post-acute care settings. The VA seeks market research information on electronic notification services that can provide near real-time alerts across multiple notification networks to achieve national coverage. This is explicitly a planning and market research effort with no obligation to award a contract, no authorized funds, and no entitlement to payment for respondents' costs. The information gathered will inform the VA's acquisition strategy and performance work statement development.
