DA10--VA Enterprise Cloud Brokerage Service VA-27-00000536

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI 36C10B26Q0492) on a VA Enterprise Cloud Brokerage Service, with RFI responses due July 6, 2026 at 9 AM EST. No set-aside applies. A formal solicitation may or may not follow this market research phase; additional RFIs may be released if needed.

The VA seeks a cloud brokerage platform to consolidate and govern multi-cloud operations across AWS and Microsoft Azure, with capacity to onboard additional cloud service providers (OCI and GCP) within 12 months. The platform must achieve FedRAMP High authorization and SOC 2 Type II attestation, with AWS and Azure operational within six months of contract start. The broker will manage cloud credit procurement, account setup, billing data validation, tagging enforcement, and financial allocation across approximately 297 AWS accounts (534+ applications) and Azure accounts (240+ applications), scaling to over 1,000 total applications. The VA currently spends over $100 million annually per established CSP and maintains root access to payer accounts.

Anticipated contract structure includes a 12-month base year with five optional one-year periods plus a six-month transition-out phase, totaling six years and six months potential duration. The broker must achieve 99.9% uptime, reduce credit procurement cycle time by 40%, achieve 98% chargeback accuracy, and automate 80% of standard provisioning requests while maintaining continuous ATO compliance. Responses are limited to 50 pages and must address 27 questions across five categories: platform capabilities, security and compliance, pricing models, transition and operations, and innovation.
