Performance Work Statement - IT Support Services

1. Introduction: The Federal Election Commission is an independent regulatory agency charged with administering and enforcing the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. The duties of the FEC are to disclose campaign finance information, to enforce the provisions of the law such as the limits and prohibitions on contributions, and to oversee the public funding of Presidential elections. The Commission enforces limitations and prohibitions on contributions and expenditures, investigates and assesses fines for violations, audits a limited number of campaigns and organizations for compliance, and administers the presidential campaign fund, which provides public funds to candidates for president.

The FEC also publishes reports filed by Senate, House of Representatives and Presidential campaigns and other political committees that disclose how much each committee has raised and spent and includes each donor's address, occupation , employer and job title. This database dates back to 1980. Private organizations are prohibited from using this data to solicit new individual donors, but Political Action Committees (PACs) may be solicited. The FEC is also charged to keep these exhaustive campaign finance resources available to the public. The FEC also offers a program of public education, directed primarily to explaining the law to the candidates, campaigns and political committees which it oversees. The FEC is responsible for ensuring the information it holds is readily available to the public.

The Commission investigates apparent violations and may assess fines and other civil penalties.

A limited number of campaigns and organizations may be audited for compliance. The FEC administers the Presidential Campaign Fund, which provides public funds to eligible Presidential candidates.

The six Commissioners, no more than three of whom may represent the same political party, are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Commissioners serve full-time and are responsible for administering and enforcing the Federal Election Campaign Act. They generally meet twice every two weeks, once in closed session to discuss matters that, by law, must remain confidential, and once in a meeting open to the public. At these meetings, they formulate policy and vote on significant legal and administrative matters.

More information may be found at WWW.FEC.GOV.

2. Purpose: To solicit proposals for services to augment FEC staff capacity with mastery of the unique Federal Election Regulations, the Disclosure Database and the major and minor Disclosure Systems and Programs. These include Data Capture, Information Management, the FEC Website, FEC Election Map, eReview, the Disclosure Systems such as Administrative Fines and others, Law Manager interfaces to eReview and the Searchable Applications, Alternative Dispute Resolution Office (ADRO), Office of Administrative Review (OAR) and ad hoc projects which are sometimes highly time sensitive. In addition to the above institutional and system knowledge, the contractor selected shall provide Project Management and software development across multiple technologies to the Information Technology Division across the full

PAGE 15 OF 61 FE-15-R-003

software development lifecycle to perform enhancements, maintenance, bug fixes and new development on these mission critical systems and others as needed. These systems are used by hundreds of users including about two thousand Senate, House and Presidential candidates, thousands of political committees, watchdog groups, researchers, reporters and others.

It is vital that support staff is able to grasp the business rules and technologies as quickly as possible and to be able to maintain all components quickly and efficiently, often with very short turn-around times.

These systems gather data from internal and external sources, process it in numerous ways, load it into other systems for further processing and analysis and correlate it to produce various reports and correspondence used to enforce the laws and regulations the agency oversees. The systems are in various phases of the development lifecycle – some modules are in production, some in development and some are in design. They are in constant flux as Program rules, Commissioner requests and regulations evolve and the underlying suite of technologies sunset or are improved themselves.

All systems activities must be in alignment with the FEC’s enterprise architecture regarding security standards, project goals, strategies and client expectations and the strategies and goals of the FEC CIO.
