Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), specifically the TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION CENTER NJ (36C10B), has issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity for a ceiling increase modification to an existing Task Order (36C10B21N10030033). This modification pertains to Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) Product Sustainment and Enhancement Services. The increase is necessary to support the accelerated deployment of the VR&E Readiness and Employment System (RES) and the retirement of the legacy Corporate, Waco, Indianapolis, Newark, Roanoke, Seattle System (CWINRS) by June 12, 2027, which is over two years earlier than originally planned.
Scope of Change
This modification primarily involves increasing the Not-to-Exceed (NTE) ceiling for Optional Task 1 of the existing Task Order. The accelerated project schedule for CWINRS retirement and RES migration necessitates the requirement for six (6) additional Sustainment Teams. These teams will provide critical support for integration, data migration, training, and technical requirements to meet the new, earlier deadlines. The Product Service Code for this effort is DA01, covering application development and support services.
