Summary

This is a Request for Information (RFI) document issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin for a Managerial Cost Accounting Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. The RFI seeks vendor input on capabilities, implementation approaches, and commercial offerings that could support VA's cost accounting requirements. The document is in draft status as a pre-solicitation notice to gather market intelligence before formal solicitation (Solicitation Number: 36C10B27Q0011).

The RFI solicits information on SaaS-based managerial cost accounting platforms that can integrate with VA systems, support multi-entity cost allocation, provide real-time reporting and analytics, and enable compliance with federal cost accounting standards. The request includes a draft Performance Work Statement and three attachments outlining technical requirements and evaluation criteria. Respondents are expected to address system architecture, data security, implementation timelines, pricing models, and vendor qualifications. This pre-solicitation phase allows potential contractors to provide input that will inform the final solicitation terms, scope, and contract structure before the formal Request for Proposals is issued.
