Request for Information

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is issuing a Request for Information on behalf of the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) to procure a cloud-based Drupal Platform as a Service (PaaS) Website Content Management System. The primary objectives include providing an externally hosted, managed Drupal environment for CFA's existing website and upgrading the platform from Drupal 10 to Drupal 11 before its end-of-life in mid-late 2026. The solution must meet federal cloud computing standards including FedRAMP, FISMA, and OMB requirements, with 99.5% system availability, 24/7 proactive monitoring, secure U.S.-based hosting, and daily/weekly backup capabilities. This RFI serves as market research to gather industry feedback, develop acquisition strategies, and understand potential commercial solutions rather than constituting a formal solicitation. Vendors must submit their responses electronically by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on June 16, 2025, with survey responses limited to 10 pages using 11-point font, plus an optional 10-page capability statement.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the RFI materials, the project involves a phased approach including requirements discovery, system design, deployment of both Drupal 10x and 11x environments, and ongoing steady-state operations. The contractor will be responsible for infrastructure management, platform administration, system updates, licensing, and maintaining current web design while accommodating additional Drupal framework functionality. Production implementation is targeted for June 2025, with services requiring secure hosting within U.S. jurisdictions and continuous availability to support the Commission of Fine Arts' web presence. The place of performance will be an externally hosted cloud environment meeting federal security and compliance standards.
