P03_JA EPMS Limited Sources_Updated_Redacted.pdf

This Limited Sources Justification document details the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) sole-source Task Order (TO) for continued Enterprise Performance Management System (EPMS) software services with Peraton Inc. The proposed action is for a Firm Fixed Price contract to provide license subscriptions, maintenance, and sustainment services for the VA's enterprise-wide EPMS cloud solution, which supports performance management and appraisal processes across the agency.

The TO is for a 12-month base period with two 12-month optional periods, and was competitively awarded initially to Northrup Grumman in March 2020, then novated to Peraton in May 2022. VA determined Peraton is the only vendor capable of meeting requirements due to the system's unique VA-specific configuration, proprietary infrastructure, and deep technical integration. The EPMS platform supports 474,000 VA employees, automates performance management workflows, and is critical for compliance with federal regulations. Market research conducted from December 2024 through April 2025 confirmed Peraton as the sole capable vendor until ongoing VA modernization efforts are completed.
