The goal is to put LGY in control of how, when and where home loan benefits are used, managed and maintained throughout the loan life cycle. As part of its focus, LGY needs to provide VA employees with up-to-date functionality to better serve Veterans, their families and other stakeholders like lenders, servicers and appraisers. In order to do so, LGY requires program and project management, as well as subject matter expert (SME) support to further enhance the success of these initiatives and better ensure the Department s technological, project management and organization transformation and realignment. Contract Action This action is for a single, firm-fixed price contract award to Sigma Health Consulting, LLC, on a sole-source basis, for one (1) base year period, and two (2) option year periods.
