RFI Purpose: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has a need for an electronic filing system for confidential financial disclosure reports required to be filed by certain employees within the DOJ pursuant to regulations issued by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE).  OGE requires certain executive branch employees to file confidential financial disclosure reports (OGE Form 450).  DOJ requires a cloud-based electronic confidential financial disclosure reporting system that does the following:

• Provide encryption of data consistent with Federal encryption requirements;
• Provide instructions to filers for what and how to report items in each section;
• Save each version of the form;
• Have functionality that permits the automatic deletion of reports beyond the required retention period that the DOJ has the ability to adjust as necessary to avoid deletion of reports where appropriate;
• Provide report functions that can be tailored by, among other things, date, filer, reviewer, or due date;
• Automatically populate annual reports with data from previous electronic forms;
• Collect reportable information from filers through an interview wizard;
• Allow reviewers to provide comments on the reports;
• Allow documents to be uploaded and attached to the submission;
• Allow reviewers to separate certified reports that have no reportable information;
• Permit reviewers to change and update the list of filers and filings as necessary;
• Permit the DOJ to restrict access of field ethics officials to reports only for employees in their offices;
• Retain all records for the required timeframes, including those records from filers who leave a covered position;
• Purge records once they are no longer required to be maintained; and
• Integrate training/helpful hints into filing process to aid in the completion and review of submissions.
