This is a Pre-Solicitation notice for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Enterprise Artificial Intelligence (VA-26-00070193) contract opportunity. The VA Technology Acquisition Center Austin is seeking qualified vendors to support enterprise-wide artificial intelligence initiatives across the Veterans Affairs organization. This pre-solicitation establishes the groundwork for a forthcoming formal solicitation (36C10B26Q0485) and invites interested parties to submit capability statements and questions to inform the development of the final Request for Proposal.

The notice indicates this is a pre-solicitation phase designed to gauge market interest and gather vendor feedback on the VA's AI requirements before releasing the full solicitation. Interested vendors should prepare to demonstrate relevant experience in enterprise AI implementation, particularly within government or large-scale organizational settings. The VA anticipates this effort will address multiple AI use cases across the enterprise, though specific scope details, contract type, period of performance, and pricing terms are expected to be defined in the formal solicitation that will follow. Vendors are encouraged to submit any clarifying questions during this pre-solicitation phase to ensure alignment with VA requirements and capabilities.
