1.0 BACKGROUND

The Department of Veteran Affairs’ (VA) Office of Information & Technology (OIT), Information Technology Programming and Budget Formulation (IORB) Service, among its duties, is charged with formulating the annual IT budget. To this end, the Investment Oversight and Reporting Branch (IORB) of IORB administers the data collection, generation, and subsequent submission of the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Agency IT Portfolio Summary (formerly Exhibit 53), IT Investment Business Cases and Details (formerly Exhibit 300s) to the Federal Information Technology Dashboard (ITDB), found at (https://www.itdashboard.gov/). To support these bi-annual and ad hoc submission efforts, IORB currently uses Folio as the CPIC tool. VA has entered into an Interagency Agreement (IA) with General Services Administration (GSA) as one of approximately 19 Federal Agencies who have chosen to use this product.

The tool may change in the future and the Contractor would be expected to be able to continue to support the work regardless of the tool used. If the Investment structure changes, the Contractor shall be required to support the restructuring of the Investment, to include remapping efforts to the updated Investment structure across all fiscal years currently in the Budget. This will require understanding and communicating changes to the submission process and how it relates to the CPIC tool.

The CPIC tool is a web-based, Government-Owned Technology System application designed to help agencies automate the select, control, and evaluate portions of the IT CPIC process. The GSA Office of Government-wide Policy oversees the CPIC tool Program Management Office (PMO) and the technical and helpdesk support for this tool. Operations & maintenance of the CPIC tool is provided through an IA, which supplies each subscribing Agency with the tool and a suite of support services including software updates, documentation, help-desk support, and recurring training. A detailed description of the tool and services provided can be found at https://digital.gov/services/folio/. Specifically, IORB subscribes to the “cloud” version of the CPIC tool. GSA under this approach hosts the Agency’s instance of the CPIC tool rather than having VA host it. VA uses this tool to:

1. Collect and transmit the annual submission of Agency IT Portfolio Summary and IT Investment Business Cases, as well as applicable Investment Details being reported through Folio based on OMB and schema requirements, to the Federal IT Dashboard, which generally occurs during September.

2. Collect and transmit the annual resubmission of Agency IT Portfolio Summary, and IT Investment Business Cases and Details to the Federal IT Dashboard reflecting an updated version of the September material for purposes of Passback. This submission generally occurs during January.

3. Collect and transmit ad hoc submissions and updates of the Agency IT Portfolio Summary, and IT Investment Business Cases and Details to the Federal IT Dashboard on an as needed basis.

The FY 2024 President’s budget request reflects the Department’s IT portfolio, which required submission, as approximately $10.1 billion. It consists of 35 Investments including 12 Major, 15 Non-major, and 8 Standard Investments. The Department’s IT https://www.itdashboard.gov/ https://digital.gov/services/folio/

Portfolio has been restructured to 12 Major, 7 Non-major, and 17 Standard Investments for FY 2025.
