Section B Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs

There are 94 United States Attorneys’ Offices (USAOs) located throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The USAOs serve as the nation’s principal litigators. Each USAO handles a diverse docket of criminal and civil cases.

15JA0521Q00000053 Page 5 of 29

The Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) provides administrative support for the 94 United States Attorneys’ Offices (USAOs). Such support includes legal education, administrative oversight, technical support, and the creation of policies.

EOUSA’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) provides information technology (IT) systems, services, and support to USAOs.

Stakeholders within the USAO community have identified a need for a legal document management system. USAOs have cited a need for a DMS system that will enable USAOs to (among other things): (i) store common productivity files and emails in a centralized, case-centric paradigm; (ii) create, store, and track iterative versions of documents; and (iii) search for documents using both simple and more advanced text and metadata-based searching techniques.

The USAOs do not have an enterprise-wide document management system (DMS). The USAOs are in the midst of piloting a DMS at this time. At present, the vast majority of USAOs store the common productivity files (g., Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF) they create and modify in connection with their cases and certain case-related emails on Microsoft Windows-based shared drives. The pilot group is storing those same files in the DMS we are piloting.

At present, personal computers (PCs) used by USAO personnel run a standard image. OCIO uses Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to re-image PCs and deploy application updates. The USAOs current desktop operating system is Windows 10 Enterprise (2019 Build 18363). The USAOs currently use Office 365 for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and also Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

At present, OCIO operates an on-premise deployment of Microsoft Exchange to provide the USAOs email service. The USAOs currently use Outlook 365.

At present, the USAOs have a custom-developed case management system called CaseView. CaseView is an Oracle-backend system that is developed and operated by OCIO.

The EOUSA previously identified five (5) USAOs with whom a pilot implementation of the DMS has been performed. The USAO is expanding the deployment beyond the pilot to additional USAOs.

The USAOs and EOUSA require a knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled consultant to provide candid and unbiased advice and assistance to help the USAO community: deploy the DMS to additional USAOs; to continue to identify, refine, and document requirements; to perform custom development to assist in the integration of the DMS into the overall USAO architecture; to assist in evaluating and addressing potential change management issues that may arise; and evaluate and plan for the likely issues the USAOs would encounter in extending the deployment of the DMS to additional USAOs, as detailed in this Statement of Work.

To meet USAO requirements, the consultant must have expertise with: NetDocuments software, including the designing and integration of the DMS with USAO workflows and processes; custom development of applications to support the integration of the DMS with USAO systems; and with USAOs Case Management system – CaseView.

Section C Description of Services

Contractor shall provide the services detailed below must meet the requirements detailed below:

Requirements regarding Identification, Refinement, and Documentation

Contractor shall conduct, if required, design interview and/or workshop sessions with representatives from the OCIO staffs listed in this subsection. These sessions shall be focused on the functional configuration items that OCIO would need to decide upon, establish, and/or re-configure to expand the deployment of the DMS at the USAOs.

* Office Automation (Desktop Configuration, Desktop Applications, Email, LAN);

* Case Management Staff (CaseView);

* Information System Security (IT Security, Secure Authentication);

(ROM) perspective) across the USAO community, including, to the extent applicable (at a minimum): DMS software costs, third-party software costs, on-premises hardware (if required), network capacity, implementation costs, training costs for implementation, and on-going support and maintenance costs necessary to support the system.

Maintenance and Support

* Contractor shall advise EOUSA regarding the DMS Government configurations (including repository settings, cabinet settings, metadata configuration, and security configuration) required to meet USAO requirements to support the remaining USAO pilot and full deployment;

* Contractor shall assist EOUSA's IT staff in troubleshooting and resolving issues with the interaction between NetDocuments Software application plug-ins and the DMS Government cloud enclave;

* Contractor shall provide Tier2 level support - not limited to Application/Plugins - includes issues related to the custom developed applications, Reporting and general technical APIs;

* Contractor shall provide technical consulting activities required for the prep, setup and establishment of the required DMS configuration for each District as they are onboarded to the system. These activities can include Cabinet setup for the District, creation of workspace templates, profile attributes, establishing users in the repository, building the required groups, creating personal workspaces with the appropriate security model, and creating District workspaces;

* Contractor shall provide consulting services regarding communication, ongoing developments, refinements, and introductions of the system and its design to additional Districts being onboarded to the system;

* Contractor shall provide monthly document usage and analysis reporting, for each active District, as part of the ongoing support and continuous improvement process.

Additional Requirements

* Must have expertise with NetDocuments Software – both Server Side and Client Applications;

* Must have personnel who have security clearance at a Tier 4 level;

* Must have personnel who have active accounts with the USAOs;

15JA0521Q00000053 Page 7 of 29

Rather, EOUSA expects Contractor to interview members of EOUSA’s Information Systems Security staff to understand key, high-level requirements and expectations for any system to be used by the USAOs.
