UDD Clarification Question and Response.docx

This is a clarification question and response document from a Request for Information (RFI) for the Unified Discovery & Disclosure (UDD) Platform issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin (Solicitation Number: 36C10B26Q0637). The document addresses a critical discrepancy identified by industry regarding data migration volumes that serve as a primary cost driver for platform sizing, implementation planning, and firm-fixed-price estimates. The original RFI responses contained conflicting information, with Question 13 citing approximately 650 TB of data for migration while Questions 16, 22, and 23 indicated 347-350 TB of data under management.

The VA's clarification response confirms that both figures relate to the same migration scope and that approximately 650 TB (~350 TB) of data will be migrated from the current platform directly. The data to be migrated will consist of current cases and matters only, addressing industry concerns about whether historical migration, specific file types, and source systems should be factored into planning assumptions. The RFI close date was extended to August 3, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET, with questions and responses posted as of July 24, 2026, and this clarification request issued on July 29, 2026.
