7A21--PACT Act - Open Text Micro Focus LoadRunner Maintenance (VA-27-00003087)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is issuing a Request for Information on OpenText LoadRunner software licenses and maintenance support, with responses due August 12, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST, to inform a formal solicitation under the 7A21 PACT Act vehicle (TAC number VA-27-00003087). No set-aside is anticipated at this stage, though the government notes set-aside decisions may follow based on response data.

The VA requires OpenText Professional Performance Engineering software for the Benefits Enterprise Platform, including load, stress, and performance testing under emulated real-world network conditions. Anticipated licensing includes 5,000 Virtual User and Controller licenses, 1 Foundation Entitlement, 150 additional Web Protocol Bundle licenses, 1,000 Network Protocol Bundle licenses, 50 Database Protocol Bundle licenses, and Prime Protect maintenance during a 7-month Base Period. Two 12-month option periods with identical or expanded offerings—including 6,200 Country Usage Add-On Virtual User licenses each option period—are planned. All deliverables require electronic delivery within 30 days of award or per manufacturer lead times.

The government is seeking information on reseller relationships with OpenText and welcomes alternative brand proposals demonstrating equivalent functionality through detailed mapping. Respondents must provide company information, business size and socioeconomic status, DUNS number, existing contractual vehicles (GWAC, FSS, SEWP, MAC), technical recommendations for cost-effective implementation, and certification documentation for veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses if applicable. Questions are due August 10, 2026 at 9:00 AM EST. Responses are not obligated to be awarded and receive no compensation; information will be used for government planning and market research only.
