c. Set-Aside and NAICS Code:

This acquisition is Restricted to 8(a) Small Business concerns operating under NAICS Code 561410 with a size standard of $15M.

d. Description of Requirement and items:

The Department of the Treasury intends to issue a Firm Fixed Price IDIQ contract for FOIA support services to the policy and program offices within the Department of Treasury’s Departmental Offices. FOIA support will involve various assistance related duties to respond to requests for records, pursuant to the FOIA. Although many Treasury documents contain sensitive data that must be protected from disclosure, a concurrent objective is to promote Treasury program transparency by disclosing non-exempt information directly to requesters and making proactive disclosures of non-exempt information readily accessible via the Treasury’s on-line electronic reading room. The scope of the work is to provide basic concepts, methods, procedures, and guidelines of information disclosure. Performing these tasks involves the performance of specific, routine operations that include a few separate tasks or procedures, such as looking for specific items of factual information in tabulating and summarizing data, or reviewing recent case decisions and summarizing the factual and legal issues and findings as specified in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) entitled, “FOIA Support” dated 28 February 2016 (Attachment 1). In addition to the required information required under FAR 52.212-1, offerors shall also provide the following information in their proposal:
