The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Risk Assessments, Planning & Information Directorate (RAPID) [formerly Risk Management Directorate (RMD)], Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning Information Technology (Risk MAP IT) program, seeks to identify potential cloud knowledgeable offerors who possess experience using Amazon Web Services (AWS) in federal environment to operate and maintain its legacy applications while simultaneously applying modernization practices to update and enhance its Portfolio. Using an Adaptive Maintenance approach (also referred to “Modernize in Place,” by DHS Information Technology Strategic Plan, FY24 – 28), Risk MAP IT seeks to achieve goals established by the FEMA Risk MAP Program through continuous, systematic improvements to its system architecture, technology stack, and code base for 40+ applications and sub-applications hosted within a single system boundary on FEMA’s Enterprise AWS Cloud.

This RFI seeks to explore the following objectives:

  • Solicit feedback from industry on how Risk MAP IT can transform its 40+ existing monolithic applications and sub-applications within the Risk Analysis & Management (RAM) system incrementally into a flexible, scalable, and secure customer-centric digital ecosystem.
  • Solicit feedback from industry on its experience and key lessons learned using the Strangler Fig pattern popularized by Martin Fowler to modernize a legacy system, in place, within a FedRAMP compliant cloud environment.
  • Solicit feedback on viable alternatives and criteria the government should consider when selecting the best modernization methodology for its system and applications.
  • Understand the current state of the market for
    • Cloud compute and storage services, data integration and data management services. In this context, data integration includes both integration with internal and external data sources/sinks, and
    • Advanced statistical analytics and data development intelligently informed by available geospatial information, products and data to make Risk MAP’s data more accessible, understandable, and usable to address complex and compounding hazards.

Information received may lead to an industry day or one-on-one sessions for the top three potential offerors.
