About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin anticipates releasing a solicitation for Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Support Services, third-party services supporting VA's enterprise AI platform, with market research responses due by 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, October 7, 2026. The notice uses no set-aside. VA anticipates solicitation release in early first quarter Fiscal Year 2027 or October 2026, dates provided for industry planning only and not a Government commitment. This is the third of three RFIs (36C10B26Q0834) supporting VA's enterprise AI acquisition strategy. Responses go by email to Contract Specialist Amber Davis and Contracting Officer Joe Jones, with "RFI# 36C10B26Q0834" in the subject line. The Office of Information & Technology's Chief Artificial Intelligence Office issued the draft Performance Work Statement, which sets one 12-month Base Period and two optional 12-month periods, not to exceed 36 months. Performance occurs primarily at contractor facilities with limited onsite VA work, and travel is included in firm-fixed pricing. Scope covers implementation and sustainment (enterprise integration, rollout, adoption, and tiered Tier 1, 2, and 3 support integrated with the VA Enterprise Service Desk) and advanced technical services (data connectivity, tool integration, agents, and workflows). Priority use-case work spans full-lifecycle development, either configuration and extension of commercial products from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI or custom application development. The contractor must coordinate with a separately acquired Enterprise AI Product Provider and maintain NIST-aligned cybersecurity and privacy controls. RFI responses are capped at 20 pages and must address company capability, subcontracting needs, service pricing benchmarks, payment milestone structures, and rough order of magnitude pricing by task with cost drivers.
