7A21--Audit and Change Monitoring Solution - RFI only

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify vendors capable of providing an enterprise-grade Audit and Change Monitoring Solution. This procurement seeks a comprehensive solution to monitor and audit changes across complex IT environments, including identity and access management platforms, file systems, databases, cloud services, and collaboration tools. Key requirements include real-time detection of configuration and permission changes, centralized tamper-resistant audit logging, enhanced visibility into user activities, seamless integration with existing security frameworks, compliance support for federal regulations (FISMA, NIST), and 24/7/365 monitoring with 99.9% uptime. The solution must include monthly reporting covering ticket resolution, audit efficiency, change activity logs, performance monitoring, and compliance documentation, with all support personnel U.S.-based and available during business hours, after-hours, weekends, and federal holidays. Responses are due Monday, December 29, 2025, by 3:00 p.m. EST (extended from the original December 19, 2025 deadline). Vendors should submit a five-page response addressing company profile, contract vehicles, past performance, technology refresh considerations, software support capabilities, cloud integration options, and rough order of magnitude pricing for a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods.

This RFI carries no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor or current award values have been identified in the materials. The VA anticipates awarding a firm fixed-price task order to a single responsive and responsible contractor, with NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC code 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software). Small businesses, including Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), are encouraged to participate, and set-aside decisions may be made based on the responses received. Interested vendors must register in SAM.gov and provide their SAM Unique Entity ID, along with current business size and socioeconomic status documentation. Questions and submissions should be directed to Contract Specialist Elena Juliano at Elena.Juliano@va.gov or 848-377-5246. The contracting office is located in Eatontown, New Jersey.
