About this opportunity

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology, is seeking a Genesys Cloud Customer Experience Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution through a fair opportunity task order against the General Services Administration's Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for market research and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to contract. The VA requires a fully managed, FedRAMP Moderate certified cloud-based contact center platform capable of supporting approximately 18,750 agents across 62 individual contact centers while handling an estimated 140 million contacts annually through multiple communication channels including voice, text, email, web chat, and fax. Key technical requirements include microservices architecture, AI integration, seamless Salesforce integration, intelligent routing, workforce management, quality management tools, and robust security controls aligned with zero trust architecture and federal identity and access management standards. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on October 21, 2025, with a response deadline of November 5, 2025; however, this is a sources sought notice only, and the VA is not accepting bids, proposals, or quotes at this time, nor will it pay for information or administrative costs incurred in response.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside for small businesses or other special categories. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the notice. The anticipated NAICS code is 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers) with a small business size standard of 1500 employees; companies should indicate their size and socio-economic status accordingly. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials, the pricing workbook provided indicates a contract structure consisting of a 12-month base period followed by seven optional performance periods (six 12-month options and one 6-month extension option), suggesting an extended service delivery timeline of up to approximately 8.5 years. The VA emphasizes that responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future formal solicitation, and potential offerors are responsible for monitoring the Governmentwide Point of Entry for official solicitation release and additional details regarding this requirement.
