The Executive Office of the Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD) of the Department of Justice is seeking information from organizations with the capability to provide COTS software products to run an automated records management tracking system. The COTS software must be capable of efficiently processing and storing in excess of 500,000 case files as well as interact with approximately 700 on-line-users simultaneously. This application software should also possess the ability to incorporate Record Retention and Disposition Schedules into the system. This COTS product will be used for tracking legal case files at the box, file folder, and document level and should allow for tracking throughout the life-cycle of the documents from their active phase within the ENRD to the eventual retirement at the National Archives. The automated records management tracking system will run on a Windows NT Advanced Server (version 3.51) and be accessed using Dell 486DX33 or above Personal Computers running Windows For WorkGroups (version 3.11) or Windows 95. Technical support, documentation, and maintenance service will also be required. The COTS software must be capable of tracking dates, personal, organizational, and legal case names, numbers, locations, users, record schedules, and record requests. The COTS application software should be pre-configured but allow the end-user to customize the database fields to meet the specific needs unique to the ENRD. The COTS software should also allow for the system to be expanded to include imaging at a later date. The application software must fully integrate with bar coding technology for record transfer and record check- out/check-in and be capable of creating and printing bar code labels. On-line help functions should be available. The COTS software should possess comprehensive reporting and search capabilities. The ability to define user access at various levels and provide overall system security is required. No solicitation document exists -- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.
