- This is a Request for Information/Sources Sought Synopsis. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is seeking to identify potential certified Small Business (SB) 8(a) business sources who are interested in responding to a future solicitation with relevant knowledge, experience, personnel and capability to perform a contract to provide information management, declassification management, Freedom of Information act (FOIA) compliance, and training. Information management entails developing and maintaining automated records storage and retrieval capabilities to meet internal and external customer requirements. This includes all aspects of electronically enabling and managing applicable records for the electronic workflow processes across all pertinent DIA databases and environments along with performing records preparation and intermediate declassification review prior to accession to National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Furthermore, information management involves preparing metadata (information about information to address the identification of records flowing within the overall information life cycle process). Declassification management entails performing intermediate classification (declassification) reviews to minimize classified holdings and their related expense, perform record review to meet mandated declassification requirements prior to NARA accessioning, enhancing content reports for improved retrieval capability and intermediate reviews will also reduce production time for response to subsequent requests. Under the FOIA compliance, the contractor would provide staff support to document processing activities and perform declassification/administrative decision making under oversight of the Government Approving Authorities to FOIA and Mandatory Declassification Reviews. Training entails providing initial and ongoing training to Agency personnel to leverage processing capabilities, train in the principles of classification/declassification for Agency personnel who are subject matter experts consulted on declassification and release issues will enhance the quality and quantity of materials processed to meet both mandated and FOIA reviews. Under DIA Government Approving Official, contractor personnel will continue to conduct formal monthly training for FOIA points of contact within the Agency. The process will be enhanced through publication of newsletters, periodic updates for employees already trained.
