About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center awarded a task order to Thundercat Technology, LLC for the Abacus Visual Playbook Builder and Automation Orchestrator on September 21, 2026, in the amount of $3,395,831.00 on a sole-source basis under limited sources justification.
The justification documents establish that Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is the only automation platform meeting Veterans Integrated Service Network 23's unique medical environment requirements: agentless operation (mandated by medical device vendor support agreements), native Windows management via WinRM, certificate-based authentication for non-domain-joined targets, single platform for Windows and Linux management, enterprise REST API for programmatic integration, enterprise support with disconnected content distribution, and mature Windows automation library. Market research conducted via RFI on March 25, 2026, yielded 11 responses with 9 deemed capable; no respondents proposed alternative technologies satisfying the Government's constraints. Competing platforms including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and HCL BigFix were eliminated for requiring persistent software agents and/or Active Directory domain membership.
The contract structure includes a base period for Minimum Viable Product development and delivery, plus four option years for continued operations and maintenance. The deliverable integrates Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and S3-compatible object storage, supported by professional services from a Red Hat and hyperconverged infrastructure vendor partner. Place of performance is Eatontown, New Jersey. The award was made under NASA SEWP on an SDVOSB set-aside basis (NAICS 541519).
