1. Background
The CJIS Division, Data Sharing Services Unit (DSSU), located in Clarksburg, WV provides data sharing and collaboration services to state, local, federal, and tribal partners within the criminal justice community.
Today, CJIS services are accessed via multiple user-to-system and system-to-system interfaces, which require CJIS users to possess an advanced understanding of the multiple applications, interfaces, and data sharing ecosystem to obtain value. The different interfaces create usability and complexity issues for CJIS partners.
To enhance national information sharing, the FBI will engage its user community in a set of concept exploration working sessions to demonstrate possibilities, gather feedback, and create a new specification to be incorporated into future product roadmaps.
2. Scope
This is a contract to perform concept development and requirements solicitation for providing a more Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) unified user experience to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) CJIS Division.
The FBI, CJIS Division, Information Technology Management Section (ITMS) launched an initiative in fiscal year 2024 to create a more unified user experience for external partners as they interact with CJIS information services. To support this initiative, CJIS has a new requirement to develop concepts and user requirements defining the new user experience.
The Contractor shall create, host, and manage the prototype.
The prototype is intended for concept exploration and requirements solicitation only.
The Contractor shall create fabricated data to be used for the prototype. The prototype will not require access to CJIS systems operational data.
The Government shall provide the Contractor with a document describing the functionality required to establish the Minimally Viable Product (MVP) for the prototype. Within 30 days post contract award, the Contractor shall have an accessible prototype for demonstration.
Attachment E – Statement of Objectives Template Version 2.2 Page 3
The Contractor shall use the MVP documentation provided by the Government to generate a first revision of the prototype. Once established, the prototype will be used by the Government and the Contractor during requirements solicitation meetings that the Government will coordinate with a group of selected users.
Any feedback received from the requirements solicitation meetings will be used by the
Contractor to write additional requirements, update prototype functionality, and demonstrate for concept verification.
At the end of the contract, the Contractor will destroy the prototype and provide documentation describing the new user experience. Documentation will include screen shots, description of approach, and any other information necessary in capturing the user experience as captured in the concept development and requirements solicitation process.

Chief Security Officer, the SF-86 itself will be transmitted to the FBI electronically.
To complete the SF-86 using e-QIP, the individual requiring unescorted access to the FBI facility must contact the COR or FBI POC in order to be initiated into e-QIP. Once this action has been accomplished, the individual should be able to access e-QIP at the following link in order to initiate and complete the electronic process: http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/browser-check.asp.
Thoroughly read and follow the instructions for completing the SF-86. NOTE: To fully address http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/browser-check.asp
Attachment E – Statement of Objectives Template Version 2.2 Page 12 suitability/security issues, the FBI requires individuals to provide responses to questions on the
SF-86 for the last ten years. Failure to complete the application as instructed may lead to significant delays in processing the required investigation and approval for unescorted access.
