About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center awarded contract NNG15SD27B to V3GATE, LLC for Puppet Enterprise Software licenses and maintenance support on a sole-source basis, with a total contract value of $518,996.00.
The VA issued this award under FAR 6.302-1(c) for brand-name software, citing Section 41 U.S.C. 4106(c)(2) as implemented by Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 16.507(b)(2). The justification asserts that only Puppet Enterprise is capable of meeting the VA Financial Services Center's requirements for 24x7x365 phone and online support, unlimited technical contacts, and unlimited monthly support cases. Market research conducted January through March 2026 and May through June 2026 determined that alternative solutions such as IBM Automation Platform and Red Hat Ansible are incompatible with the VA's existing Puppet-based infrastructure; adoption of non-Puppet solutions would require complete redesign of automation processes, replacement or reconfiguration of over 500 servers, rewriting of more than 50 legacy modules, and estimated redevelopment costs exceeding a redacted amount. An RFI posted to NASA SEWP for five days received nine responses, confirming small businesses can provide the brand-name product through authorized reseller channels. The contract comprises a 12-month base period and three 12-month option periods. The delivery order is issued under the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement GWAC. Place of performance is the VA Financial Services Center. V3GATE, LLC is located at 555 Middle Creek Parkway, Unit 120, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921.
