- Description
- The Department of Justice is developing an acquisition strategy to provide quality assurance services in support of its automated litigation support (ALS) contracts. DOJ has well-established ALS programs in place in the Civil Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Criminal Division, the Antitrust Division, the Environment and Natural Resources Division, the Executive Office for U. S. Attorneys, and the Tax Division. Much of the work in these programs is performed by ALS contractors under ALS contracts awarded, administered, and monitored by DOJ. In the past, DOJ has had a separate Quality Assurance Services contract related to the ALS contracts. The primary purpose of this separate contract has been to: (1) ensure that ALS Contractor deliverables are in compliance with ALS Contract specifications; and, (2) provide the basis for Government acceptance or rejection of ALS Contractor deliverables, in accordance with Contract specifications and requirements. It is anticipated that a Quality Assurance contract will be for one (1) base year and five (5) option periods of one year each. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541199 with a size standard of $6.5 million. This is a market survey for informational purposes only, and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposals (RFP). Currently, there is no solicitation document available; no contract will be awarded based on this announcement; no reimbursement will be made for costs associated with responding to this announcement; and no telephone calls or other communications about this announcement will be accepted or acknowledged.

Interested parties shall provide statements of capability regarding nonpersonal, professional quality assurance services that pertain to the set of performance objectives described herein. Sources of innovative, cost-effective, and fully proven quality assurance services for automated litigation support are sought, along with descriptions of how, where, and with what success these services have been implemented. Project information shall also address the following key quality assurance objectives as they relate to litigation support: 1) screening for imaging/photocopying; 2) image capture, including digital image scanning; 3) blowback/photocopying; 4) screening for coding; 5) document coding; 6) data capture, including keying and optical character recognition; 7) database integrity; 8) data accuracy; 9) documentation (case manuals, procedures, and instructions); 10) training sessions; 11) database corrections; 12) electronic file processing, including E-Discovery; 13) web-based databases; 14) specialized areas; and 15) litigation support processes.
