- Description
- FOIA - Amendment 001 The Department of State Bureau of Administration, Office of Information Programs and Services (A/GIS/IPS) is responsible for assuring the Department’s compliance with the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (FOIA/PA) and other information access provisions. Specifically, A/GIS/IPS processes FOIA/PA requests for information in Department of State records through their full request processing life cycle - from receipt of the request to final response to the requester and through appeal and litigation if necessary. This project will allow IPS to process requests under the FOIA/PA in an efficient and appropriate manner, and achieve tangible, measurable improvements in FOIA/PA processing, as mandated in E.O. 13392 and the OPEN Government Act of 2007. Additionally, this project will allow the Department of State to both process appeals of FOIA requests and respond to FOIA litigation demands. A/GIS/IPS also provides centralized administration and coordination of special document production requests on behalf of the Secretary of State in response to discovery/court orders, Congressional oversight committees, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), special investigatory bodies, and other document production requests as mandated by the Secretary or the President. These contract personnel, integrated with permanent, trained IPS staff, will assist with backlog reduction. Under the directions and guidance of the pertinent Branch or Division Chief, provide project management, case processing, research, review, information analysis, appeals processing support, litigation support, and special document production support to the Office of Information Programs and Services, Requester Liaison and Statutory Compliance and Research Divisions. It is intended that this requirement be solicited a 100% small business set-aside. The National American Individual Classification Standard (NAICS) code for procurement is 561110. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will require the submission of a technical proposal and a price proposal. The award shall be made to the contractor whose proposal represents the best value to the Government. This means that the offeror’s technical/Management Solutions/Approach, key personnel and resumes and past performance together are more significant than cost. The work under this contract will be classified as Secret. All personnel performing on the contract must favorably possess a secret clearance at time of award and maintain a clearance at the level of secret for the duration of the contract.
