Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Technology Acquisition Center (TAC), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a VA Enterprise Cloud Brokerage Service. This RFI, superseding a previous one (36C10B26Q0050), seeks industry feedback and capabilities for consolidating, optimizing, and governing multi-cloud operations within the VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) environment. The primary focus is on streamlining the procurement, allocation, and chargeback of Cloud Service Provider (CSP) credits. Responses are due by June 22, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET.
Purpose & Overview
This RFI is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The VA Office of Information and Technology (OIT) aims to modernize how it manages cloud resources, distinct from general cost optimization or FinOps tooling.
