DK10--VA Enterprise Cloud

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research for the VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) through a pre-solicitation notice and Request for Information (RFI). The agency is gathering industry input on its current cloud infrastructure, which primarily uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, to help shape future acquisition strategies for cloud credits and professional services. This specific RFI, 36C10B26Q0050, has been superseded by a subsequent RFI, 36C10B26Q0492, for VAEC Brokerage Services. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541519 and PSC DK10. While the initial response deadline was set for November 2025, administrative updates have extended the timeline through June 2, 2026. The VA is currently in the market research phase and has not finalized a formal acquisition strategy. The documentation outlines interest in 13 technical and contractual topics, including multi-cloud strategy, pricing models, Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration, and cost optimization. The opportunity has been updated to show that RFI 36C10B26Q0050 is superseded by RFI 36C10B26Q0492 for VAEC Brokerage Services. While the original record remains active with a 2026 deadline, documentation directs interest to the new solicitation number for current brokerage service details. The VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) initiative manages a multi-cloud infrastructure currently using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. This environment supports approximately 757 applications, including the Veterans Health Information System Technology Architecture (VistA) and the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS).
