This request does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. No funds have been authorized, appropriated or received for this effort.

Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Due to the scope of the requirements for the AMO Support Service procurement, it is anticipated that there will be a significant OCI associated with both current and future contracts/orders that support VA s Office of Information and Technology (OIT). Specifically, AMO s mission is to enable the successful delivery of Veteran outcomes by operating as a trusted and transparent liaison between OIT and its business partners, and by supporting the Chief Information Officer (CIO) through the IT investment selection process to ensure that OIT products, services, and acquisitions meet VA s business requirements. In this capacity, and supported by this procurement, AMO has assumed responsibility for implementing Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) practices in accordance with law, regulation and policy dating back to 1996. In 1996, the Clinger-Cohen Act established the agency CIO and the 2014 Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) sustained and strengthened the CIO s role with respect to the development, integration, delivery, and operations of any type of IT, IT service, or information product to enable integration with the capabilities they support wherever IT may affect functions, missions, or operations. AMO s role, which will be supported by this procurement, is to assist in exercising CIO authorities and responsibilities by utilizing CPIC practices to align investments to agency strategy and goals, assist agency leadership with identifying and prioritizing investments, and monitor investments to ensure they return expected business outcomes. AMO will be: Providing and validating input to multi-year planning, planning and budget formulation Developing business cases with business partners Analyzing investment portfolios and validating input to ensure quality submissions for data-driven decisions Constructing portfolio baselines current state, future state, roadmap Monitoring delivery performance to evaluate effectiveness of investments VA s investments are grouped into five major portfolio groups: Veterans Experience Services (VES) Health Services Benefits, Appeals and Memorials (BAM) Corporate Services Technology and Platform Services (TPS) Any vendors that are currently providing any services (program management, development, sustainment, testing, etc.) will likely have an OCI that will preclude it from bidding on this effort as the scope of this work includes performance analysis of current work being performed by and within each portfolio, re-prioritization/investment recommendations for portfolios/programs/projects, and budget recommendations for the portfolios current states. In addition, any vendors that intend to bid on future work associated with these portfolios should consider that the successful awardee of the AMO Support procurement will likely be excluded from bidding on that work as part of the scope of this effort is requirements analysis, strategic planning, and budget formulation for the portfolios future states. 3.
