Description (excerpt)

Request for Information Request for information Page 1 of 2 DESCRIPTION Request for Information Synopsis Mission-Oriented Services for Application Integration and Capabilities (MOSAIC) Enterprise Data Products, API Delivery, Data Access and Sharing 1.0 RFI Synopsis Narrative Background and Purpose The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology (OIT), is conducting market research to inform a planned future acquisition known as Mission-Oriented Services for Application Integration and Capabilities (MOSAIC). MOSAIC is focused on positioning VA s authoritative data as a trustworthy, well-structured enterprise asset that can be reliably consumed in whatever form the mission requires. VA seeks to continuously improve this data so that it can be relied upon as genuinely authoritative and to make that same data available through the full range of access patterns the mission requires: real-time transactional APIs, bulk and analytical access suitable for data-lake and large-scale workloads, event-driven and streaming exchange, and the governed, well-described, AI-ready data products that models, agents, and automated features increasingly require. A single data domain today may be served reliably through one interface yet remain difficult to access in another or exposed broadly while portions of its underlying content are known to be incomplete or unreliable. The VA intends for MOSAIC to close these gaps so that the same trusted data can be accessed, reused, and acted upon across many mission and technology use cases. VA is using this RFI to better understand how this mission should evolve over the next five to ten years and what technical, operating, and acquisition decisions made today would best position VA for that future. VA currently supports mission data and integration products that may form part of the initial MOSAIC baseline, including VA Profile, VADIR, HDR, existing API products, and related integration capabilities. The final inventory, transition boundaries, and allocation of work among MOSAIC, VA organizations, and other enterprise contracts have not been determined. MOSAIC will also operate in an environment that depends on enterprise data platforms, catalogs, identity services, infrastructure, security capabilities, and other agency- or vendor-managed services. VA does not want this market research to assume that today's API, integration, architecture, delivery, or operating models should simply be carried forward. VA i …
