From the meeting
DMAS and DSS were directed to contract with a third-party vendor to study and create a plan to modernize the technology systems used to administer federal benefit programs in Virginia. The plan and legislative report were due to the Governor and committee chairs by December 1, 2026, and DSS said the vendor would help define project goals, costs, a budget, architecture and implementation options. The fiscal note estimated a one-time $500,000 contract for the planning work, with follow-on modernization costs still indeterminate.
This was an engrossed bill and the implementation plan was still to be developed.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Commonwealth of Virginia issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Commonwealth of Virginia's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Commonwealth of Virginia before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
