“VA has issued an RFI pertaining to Lighthouse, which is an API Management Platform that will establish the Next Generation Open Digital Platform for Veterans and accelerate the transformation in core domains of VA, such as Health, Benefits, Burial and Memorials. This previous RFI is archived on FBO (See RFI 36C10B18Q2600). The RFI responses received have driven the vision forward and helped to solidify VA s path forward. This current RFI continues the interaction with industry and provides more definite scope and seeks further feedback from industry.”
“While the acquisition strategy for Lighthouse has not yet been formalized, VA envisions that the program will consist of multiple contracts. For example, a contract for recommending policy and standards to form governance would likely be separate from an API build team. The key high level activities below are anticipated to be included within these contracts, and VA is requesting feedback from industry on how these activities should be aligned between multiple contracts.”
Responses are due by February 28, 2018.
