R499-- ITAM Program Management Support (VA-26-00042922)

Quick Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) Program Management Support. This RFI aims to gather information to develop an acquisition strategy and Performance Work Statement (PWS) for enhancing and formalizing VA's ITAM capabilities. Responses are due March 26, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST.

Purpose

This RFI is solely for market research purposes and does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP). The VA is not seeking proposals or quotes at this time and will not pay for information submitted. The insights gained will inform the VA's acquisition strategy and PWS development for future ITAM support.

Scope of Work

The VA's Office of Information & Technology (OIT), specifically End User Services (EUS), needs to scale its mission to modernize and standardize IT services, driven by significant growth from the PACT Act of 2022. EUS is building a centralized ITAM program to manage the accountability, lifecycle, and strategic utilization of VA's IT assets. This effort requires dedicated program management support to establish governance structures, standardize processes, coordinate activities across dispersed teams, and ensure compliance with federal regulations and VA policies. The anticipated period of performance includes a 12-month base period and two 12-month option periods.

• Assessing and improving asset lifecycle processes.
