FOR INFORMATION Microsoft EA Pricing and Alternatives Introduction: This is a Request for Information (RFI) only issued for conducting market research. Accordingly, this RFI constitutes neither a Request for Quote (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), nor a guarantee that one will be issued by the Government in the future; furthermore, it does not commit the Government to contract for any services described herein. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not, at this time, seeking proposals or quotes, and therefore, will not accept, review, or evaluate unsolicited proposals or quotes received in response hereto. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to pay for any information submitted because of this request. The Government does not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with submission of the information being requested or reimburse expenses incurred for responses to this RFI. The information provided may be used by VA in developing its acquisition strategy and Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Product Description (PD). Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary; however, any information received shall become the property of the Government and will not be returned to the respondent. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted, or competition sensitive information contained in their response. This is a request for information and does not obligate the Government in any way, nor does it commit the Government to any specific course of action. Product information, brochures, part numbers, and/or other description information may be included with the submission. Requirement: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has maintained a continuous award of Enterprise Agreements for Microsoft products since 1998. The various Microsoft licenses and subscriptions are required to provide VA end users with a broad range of IT capabilities necessary to meet agency mission needs for over 574,000 users. The current Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) provides the VA with 1) software assurance, 2) core support services, 3) operational support, and 4) additional licenses and cloud credits, and is slated to be renegotiated in 2025. Before renewal of this multiyear agreement, VA will perform a re-baselining of requirements as well as analysis of alternatives to determine the best path forward to maximize enterprise level functionalities and cost efficiencies across VA. VA seeks to identify pricing for specific Microsoft products and/or competitive products and strategies that could be implemented as alternatives to the current Microsoft technologies identified herein. This effort does not indicate VA will move to an alternate technology but only that VA is investigating viability, costs, and impacts associated with specific alternate technologies. To be clear, VA is not seeking proposals but only pricing and/or identification of alternate products, impacts, and market trends. VA desires identification of enterprise proven alternate products that have been demonstrated to operate at a similar level of size, scope, and complexity of the current VA environment. VA owns and maintains licenses and subscriptions for the Microsoft products identified in the attached spreadsheet. The exact number of users/licenses is dynamic and will be revised in any request for proposals. This list is not all inclusive of the Microsoft products being considered but shows those products which are considered critical to VA s mission.
