R499--RFI School Enrollment Reporting

The VA Veterans Benefits Administration is seeking industry input on a secure, scalable, and 508‑compliant data‑exchange solution that enables educational institutions to provide enrollment and outcome data for students using VA GI Bill benefits. The RFI is purely market research; no pricing or proposal is required. The solution must integrate with the VA’s AWS GovCloud environment, support automated data feeds (API, SFTP, etc.), and provide analytics dashboards for outcomes and compliance monitoring. • Enable bidirectional, automated transfer of student enrollment, graduation, persistence, and post‑completion employment/earnings data. • Provide a secure, 508‑accessible interface with strong authentication (MFA) and data‑ownership controls for the VA. • Include analytics/reporting capabilities to detect compliance risks (e.g., 85/15 rule violations) and support proactive oversight. • Leverage existing federal education data sources (IPEDS, National Student Clearinghouse) to reduce reporting burden on schools. • Fit within the VA’s existing cloud‑native stack (IaC, DevSecOps, containerized micro‑services, Redshift/DynamoDB, etc.).
