About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is seeking industry feedback through a Request for Information (RFI) to support the consolidation and modernization of its enterprise call centers. The VA aims to transition from its current decentralized structure of 280+ call centers handling over 60 million annual calls to a unified, Veteran-centric service model with a single point of entry and consistent technologies. Key objectives include achieving immediate call response, 100% first-call resolution, appointment scheduling capabilities, multi-channel support, and complete consolidation within 24 months. The RFI requests detailed vendor information including capability statements, recommended consolidation approaches, operational plans, staffing strategies, KPI dashboards, compliance status with FedRAMP and FISMA requirements, potential risks, and innovative technologies. Responses are limited to 15 pages and must be submitted by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on June 12, 2025, to the designated VA contracting officers.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the notice. While no specific contract value or budget range is provided, the scale of the project is substantial given the 60 million annual call volume that vendors must be capable of supporting. The consolidation effort is described as a large-scale, multi-phase transition involving workforce transformation, operational optimization, and technology integration across the VA's extensive call center network. The VA has issued an update indicating they are continuing to establish their desired future state for contact centers, with no planned or estimated solicitation release date at this time, though interested parties are encouraged to monitor SAM.gov for future developments.
