The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking market research through a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the Enterprise Data Assets and Resource Management Solution (eDARMS). This initiative aims to support the implementation of the 2018 Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking Act and the Federal Data Strategy. Through this RFI, HUD seeks to identify vendors capable of providing comprehensive services that establish a robust data governance and management program, aimed at leveraging data as a strategic asset to enhance agency operations and inform decision-making.
Key components of eDARMS include developing an Enterprise Data Governance Framework, an Enterprise Data Catalog using the TALEND platform, an Enterprise Reporting and Analytics solution, and Master Data Management. The RFI outlines the need for a centralized data management approach to improve data quality, accessibility, and security across HUD’s multiple systems. Responses to the RFI should detail organizational capabilities, relevant experience, and insights for refining the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). The results will guide HUD in potential acquisitions and set-asides for small businesses. Responses are due by December 30, 2024, to the designated Contract Specialist.
