One of the arguments for the SQLPackage command line (link) when Publishing a DB is TargetDatabaseName. Using this, it's quite straightforward to deploy the same DACPAC to multiple databases.

Thanks for this Response. I have come across this link but not clear how to deploy multiple DACPACs for multiple databases.

Multiple calls to sqlpackage.exe, with as many different source/target arguments as necessary, should do it.

If that is not the answer you are looking for, perhaps you would explain why.

Target Database Name is one of the options for the SQL Package command line link when publishing a DB. It is quite simple to deploy the same DACPAC to several databases using this.
