Mega 4 Quality Assurance Services

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) intends to issue a Request for Proposals for quality assurance services in support of its automated litigation support (ALS) contracts. Automated litigation support encompasses a wide range of professional services and products that help attorneys acquire, organize, develop, and present evidence throughout the course of litigation, from pre-filing investigation, through complaint, discovery, and trial, through post-trial briefs and the appeals process. DOJ has well-established ALS programs in place in the Civil Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Criminal Division, the Antitrust Division, the Environment and Natural Resources Division, the Executive Office for U. S. Attorneys, and the Tax Division. Much of the work in these programs is performed by ALS contractors under ALS contracts awarded, administered, and monitored by DOJ. The primary purpose of this quality assurance contract will be to: (1) ensure that ALS Contractor deliverables are in compliance with ALS Contract specifications; and, (2) provide the basis for Government acceptance or rejection of ALS Contractor deliverables, in accordance with Contract specifications and requirements. Contractor personnel will furnish administrative, logistical, professional, and technical labor, supplies, equipment, facilities, materials, and technologies necessary to provide a wide range of quality assurance services through the course of litigation. Key quality assurance objectives as they relate to litigation support include the following: 1) electronic file processing including images, native files, and loadable files; 2)database integrity, including Web-Based Databases (Completeness Check); 3) image capture, including digital image scanning; 4) document indexing/coding; 5) documentation (case manuals, procedures, and instructions; 6) training sessions; 7) specialized areas; and 8) litigation support processes and procedures. The Government will award one indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for this requirement. It is anticipated that the contract will be for one (1) base year and four (4) option periods of one year each. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541199 with a size standard of $10.0 million. The solicitation will be available on or about June 07, 2013.
