DoE Digital Services Platform Engineering BPA
The Department of Education's Federal Student Aid (FSA) office is establishing a Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Digital Services Platform Engineering (RFQ No. 910031-26-Q-0013). The procurement is in active RFQ phase with a Draft RFQ at version 3 (dated 05/01/26) and a companion Call Order 001 PWS already drafted — indicating a final RFQ drop is imminent. A competitor (Agile Six) has already submitted Phase II Q&A and draft Technical and Performance volumes, signaling Momentum Federal is behind the curve. The document folder contains a Proposal Management Plan with named staff (Athena P, Matt, Andrea, Billy, Aaron), suggesting internal proposal activity has begun but is not fully resourced (Editor and DTP are TBD). Momentum Federal's cloud-native, FedRAMP-aware, and Section 508 capabilities align well with FSA's digital transformation mission, but the pricing template and OCI requirements are immediate gates.
Next Steps
Monitor SAM.gov daily for the final RFQ No. 910031-26-Q-0013 issuance date, which is currently 'TBD' in DRAFT_RFQ_DSPE_BPA_V.3_050126.docx. Set a team alert — the jump from Draft v.2 (04/16) to v.3 (05/01) with a Call Order 001 PWS already drafted suggests final drop within days to weeks. Assign Athena P (Proposal Manager) to own this watch.

Pull DRAFT_BPA_LCATS & CO_001_PRC TEMPLATE_050126.xlsx and map Momentum Federal's GSA Schedule rates (541511/541512/541519) to each required labor category for Base + 4 Option Years. Matt and Andrea (named in Proposal Management Plan) must populate Proposed Rate and calculate % Discount off GSA Rate for every cell before the Technical Volume can be finalized — pricing is a hard submission gate.

Q&A item #1 in PHASE II_CO_001_Q&A_Agile Six.xlsx flags that RFQ Section 1.8 (page 5) requires an OCI certification and mitigation plan. Momentum Federal's past performance on the Momentum Energy commercial procurement platform could surface a perceived OCI given FSA's procurement mission — counsel should review and produce a written OCI statement for inclusion as a separate attachment, as clarified in the second Q&A file.

Review MTCR - DS BPA.docx (Version 6.0, updated 04/02/2026) section by section and confirm Momentum Federal's AWS/Azure GovCloud, Next.js, and Postgres stack satisfies each Minimum Technology Contract Requirement. Flag any gaps — particularly around modern software development practice changes called out in the v6.0 release note — and document compliance in the Technical Volume under Billy's (Overall Solution) ownership.

Proposal Management Plan.xlsx shows Editor and DTP as TBD, and AI Support listed as 'Aaron?' — all three must be confirmed immediately to prevent bottlenecks during final production. Schedule a 30-minute stand-up with Athena P, Sarah K, and Billy this week to assign names, confirm Aaron's AI tooling scope, and set section draft deadlines aligned to the anticipated RFQ issuance date.
