About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center is seeking proposals for a Special Hosting Service to replace certain limitations in its existing Talent Management System.

Proposals will be evaluated based on technical factors being most important, price less important, and past performance least important, with a minimum acceptable technical rating required to be considered. Proposals are due by September 22, 2021 at 12:00 PM EST.
This opportunity is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 541519 for Specialized Software Design and Development Services. The base period of performance is 12 months with four 12-month option periods at the agency's New Jersey address, for a total potential duration of five years. Pricing must be fixed price for subscriptions and deliverables.

Special Hosting Service Questions and Answers
- By 4 data sources you mean, there will be 4 different courses? Four different data sources (LMS, LRS, virtual platform, etc.) not four different courses.
- Will these 4 sources share the same Learning Objectives and send proper xAPI statements? Not necessarily.
- What is meant by Highly customizable? VA wants to ensure it can customize output based on the VA’s learning needs.
- What is Ability to accept/export data using standard formats from VA’s SOR for training? Is it different from SCORM or xAPI mentioned in Point 8? It is not different.
- What is meant by Mobile friendly, are you expecting a mobile app where course can be consumed, in that case we may need to explore Moodle Workplace as a solution VA does not require development of an app, but the solution should have the ability to deliver output to an app from Moodle.
- Section 1.3 states that the government requires an LMS and LRS be hosted on FedRAMP certified cloud platform (AWS GovCloud for example). For clarification, if only the hosting provider is FedRAMP certified (AWS in this example), does that meet the government's requirements or is the government requiring the LMS and the LRS also be FedRAMP certified. The hosting system and tools need to be FedRAMP certified.
- Is this a new or follow-on requirement? New
- If a follow-on, who is the incumbent and what is the contract number? N/A
Update #1 ·
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) existing Talent Management System (TMS), while powerful in many ways, is limited in others. It cannot collect custom parameters or display usage and interaction data based on those parameters. It also relies on a limited static content server rather than a true content management system, meaning that VA Employee Education System (EES) cannot dynamically manage any of its learning content that is deployed on TMS. These limitations do not affect a large percentage of EES’s work, for which the VA TMS is appropriate.
