DA01--Cancelled Agile Center of Excellence Technical Development and Support (VA-25-00007006)

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center in Austin published a Special Notice regarding the Agile Center of Excellence Technical Development and Support procurement. The notice was associated with multiple General Services Administration (GSA) contract vehicles, including 8(a) STARS III, VETS 2, Alliant 2, and Multiple Award Schedule. The opportunity was originally posted with references RFQ1736373, RFQ1736374, RFQ1736375, and RFQ1736376, focusing on IT and Telecom Business Application Development Support Services under NAICS code 541519. The current contract is held by Client First Technologies, Inc., with contract numbers 36C10B24C0029 and 36C10B21D1035. Ultimately, the solicitation was cancelled, with no further information provided about future procurement release.

The initial purpose of the Special Notice was to conduct market research and post questions and answers related to a potential contract renewal. The government was exploring a total set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with an anticipated Request for Proposal (RFP) release planned for early 2025 and contract award intended for fiscal year 2025. The requirement included Scaled Agile, Inc's piplanning.io licenses, with the government planning to remove salient characteristics from the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Contractors interested in participating would have needed to be eligible under the specified GSA contract vehicles. The contracting office, located in Eatontown, NJ, with Contract Specialist Erin Butler as the point of contact, was conducting this market research to inform the potential future procurement. However, the final document confirms that no solicitation will be posted, effectively cancelling the opportunity.
