Request for Proposals for Information Technology and Information Management Services

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is the single largest funder of civil legal aid for low-income Americans in the nation. Established in 1974 and funded by the United States Congress, LSC operates as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that promotes equal access to justice and provides grants for high-quality civil legal assistance to low-income Americans. LSC distributes about 95 percent of its total funding to 134 independent nonprofit legal aid programs with more than 900 offices that provide legal assistance to low-income individuals and families throughout the nation. 

The LSC Office of Inspector General operates under the Inspector General Act. The OIG has two principal missions: to assist management in identifying ways to promote efficiency and effectiveness in the activities and operations of LSC and its grantees; and to prevent and detect fraud and abuse. Within their different statutory roles, the OIG and Management of LSC share a common commitment to improving the federal legal services program and increasing the availability of legal services to the poor.

  The OIG requests the services of an Information Technology (IT) firm (preferably a Microsoft® Certified Solution Provider (MCSP)) to support the operability of OIG computing network and Information Management (IM) systems over a three year contract.  As a quasi-federal non-profit entity funding legal services to low-income individuals throughout the United States, LSC qualifies for GSA, non-profit and charitable rates.  This Request for Proposal (RFP) is not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
