Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the Technology Acquisition Center NJ (36C10B), conducted a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) for Revenue Operations Workflow, Payer Compliance, and Technical Process Optimization. This RFI was for market research to identify capable vendors and explore acquisition strategies for a new requirement. Responses to the RFI were due February 27, 2026. A Questions & Answers document was subsequently published on April 7, 2026, clarifying aspects of the RFI.
Purpose & Scope
This RFI aimed to gather information on industry capabilities to sustain, transform, and improve VA's revenue cycle activities. It sought to understand best practices and potential solutions for revenue operations workflow functionality, payer compliance, and technical process optimization, including cloud computing solutions. The government is exploring solutions and is not tied to specific tools, remaining open to alternative technologies and COTS/SaaS integrated solutions. Scenario modeling of insurance carrier agreements, including automatic calculation of expected allowed amounts and various reporting capabilities, remains a requirement (PWS section 5.2).
Key Information Requested from Vendors (RFI)
Vendors were asked to provide:
- Company information, including SBA certification for VOSB/SDVOSBs.
- Summary of technical capabilities related to revenue operations workflow, cloud computing, claims scoring, reporting, payment efficacy, and managerial/technical consulting support.
- Details on software tools to be leveraged and potential partnerships.
- Relevant experience with similar government or commercial projects, including cloud migration, RPA, claims scoring, insurance agreement modeling, and national-level program support (e.g., EHRM, HIPAA/EDI).
- Feedback on the sufficiency of the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).
Contract & Timeline
- Opportunity Type: Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI)
- Product Service Code: DA01 (Support Services for Application Development and Support)

Clarifications & Impact
A Questions & Answers document, posted on April 7, 2026, provided responses to vendor inquiries. Key clarifications include:
- The government is exploring solutions for revenue operations workflow and cloud computing, and the inclusion of specific software license renewals depends on the proposed solution.
- The T4NG contract vehicle's ordering period has ended and will not be used for this acquisition. The VA is conducting market research to determine the best acquisition strategy and potential contract vehicles, aiming for a fair and open process.
- Specific tools are not mandated; the focus is on meeting stated requirements.
