The U.S. Census Bureau (USCB) is issuing this Special Notice to inform industry of an update to the Census Transformation and Application Modernization (CenTAM) Acquisition Framework and the prioritization of upcoming CenTAM procurements. The Government is providing this information to promote transparency and support industry planning for future opportunities.

CenTAM Acquisition Framework Update:
Since the CenTAM Acquisition Framework was developed, Census’s enterprise needs have continued to evolve, including increased demand for Super Intelligence (SI) and other emerging technology capabilities. As a result, the Government is reassessing portions of the framework to ensure continued alignment with current and future enterprise needs. The Government is prioritizing the more mature Decennial and Geospatial requirements while continuing to evaluate the scope and acquisition strategy for Enterprise and Systems & Programs (SPS). Accordingly, CenTAM procurements will be organized as follows: •

Part A – Decennial and Geospatial: The Government anticipates solicitation activity in FY27 Q1.

•

Part B – Enterprise and SPS: Requirements and acquisition strategies are being further evaluated. Additional information will be provided as those efforts progress.

The overarching CenTAM Framework remains intact. This update reflects the Government’s prioritization of the Decennial and Geospatial procurements and provides additional flexibility to further refine Enterprise and SPS.
