About this opportunity
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) is seeking to procure a web-based platform/tool that can access public data from across the internet and compile reports and data from Publicly Available Electronic Information (PAEI) sources, such as social media, public records, and web articles. The platform must have automated, scalable search capabilities with modifiable query fields to provide information including videos, images, posts, comments, and user actions. This capability will enhance DCSA background investigation analysts' ability to determine the trustworthiness of investigation subjects. Proposals will be evaluated on factors such as past performance, responsiveness, responsibility, and technical capabilities, with price also considered. Proposals are due by September 13, 2024.
The solicitation is not set aside for any particular business size or type. DCSA is pursuing a risk-based implementation strategy to integrate PAEI data in alignment with Trusted Workforce 2.0 standards, which require a PAEI check at the moderate and high tier investigation levels. The contract has a base period of 12 months followed by four 12-month option periods, with a maximum of 3,000 PAEI searches per period. The place of performance is Quantico, VA.

** 06 Sep 2024: The PAEI RFP deadline for Proposal submission has been extended to 13 Sep 2024, 1200 EST. Please closely review the Amended RFP posted to this SAM.gov Combined Synopsis/Solicitation before submitting or resubmitting your Company's Proposal. **
04 Sep 2024: The PAEI RFP deadline for Proposal submission has been extended to 11 Sep 2024, 1200 EST. There will be an Amended RFP issued shortly and posted to this SAM.gov Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. Please review the Amended RFP when it is posted in order to finish developing all Proposals.
In 2023, Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Background Investigation (BI) established a Publicly Available Electronic Information (PAEI) branch which was designated to integrate PAEI as a data source within the background investigation and support the research needed for the implementation of PAEI.
To meet DCSA’s established implementation timelines, in FY25 DCSA will pursue a risk-based implementation strategy that will focus on investigations with known indicators and high risk/threat populations. DSCA will pursue PAEI implementation in tandem with Trusted Workforce 2.0 (TW 2.0). TW 2.0 standards require a PAEI check at the moderate and high tier investigation levels.
DCSA is looking to procure a web-based platform/tool that accesses public data from across the internet and compiles reports and data from PAEI (i.e. social media, public records, web articles, and more). DCSA requires, either through licenses or an automated delivery service accounted by number of records, the ability to search for and receive data from PAEI sources to enhance the BI analysts decision in their ability to determine trustworthiness of the subject of investigation. These search capabilities must be automated, scalable, have modifiable query capabilities to refine search criteria based on requirements, and provide information to include but not limited to, videos, images, original posts, shared posts, comments on threads or postings, and actions such as “likes” or other demonstrated action toward something which has been posted and is publicly available to view.
