This is a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought notice to conduct market research for information and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Department of Veterans Affairs is not at this time seeking proposals. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. However, in order to satisfy the requirements of 38 U.S.C. 8127, these results will be used as part of VA s determination as to whether or not two or more service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses, or Veteran-owned small businesses, that are verified in the VetBiz database (https://www.vip.vetbiz.gov/) are capable and interested in competing for this effort.

ITBF s core business processes are: IT Programming and Budget Formulation (ITPBFS) IT Budget Execution and Analysis Service (ITBEAS) IT Financial Management and Oversight Service (ITFMOS) The ITBF Service Directors are responsible for leadership, strategy, management, policy direction, and interpretation. Each Service Director leads mission execution through subordinate planning, execution, and financial management and oversight branches. The ITFMOS is a directorate of ITBF within ITRM, and is one of the seven major organizations within the OI&T. OI&T is the steward of VA s IT assets and resources and provides strategy and technical direction, guidance and policy to ensure that IT resources are acquired and managed effectively and efficiently to meet the mission requirements of VA.
