The VA said in a request for information posted Friday on SAM.gov that it is conducting market research to support its goal of evolving the HR Smart authoritative HR and personnel data system.
HR Smart is meant to help the department’s Enterprise HR Services Directorate achieve its five-year roadmap for an integrated HR platform that performs human capital as a service and software as a service functions and handles procedures such as talent acquisition and development, credentialing, financial management, employee benefits and retirement support.

According to the RFI document, HR Smart must have updated features that augment robotic process automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, unified employee data records and standardized U.S. federal HR data.
