eDiscovery Implementation

The State of Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Purchasing Office is soliciting bids for an eDiscovery Implementation project on behalf of the Division of Legal Services (DLS) and Bureau of Computing Services (BCS). The procurement seeks qualified contractors to deploy and implement the Ringtail eDiscovery software solution published by FTI Technology, with the primary objective of processing, reviewing, analyzing, and producing large volumes of documents and records for legal proceedings. Key deliverables include system deployment, configuration, data migration, user training, and post-implementation support. The contractor must demonstrate expertise in Ringtail eDiscovery implementations and the ability to manage complex data migration and integration tasks within state government operations. The Request for Bid (RFB 2017-17) was posted on April 5, 2017, with proposals due by April 21, 2017. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on contractor qualifications, technical approach, project timeline, and pricing for deployment and system configuration activities.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The software and software support will be acquired separately through the State of Wisconsin Software Contract, 505ENT-M16-VARSOFTWARE-00, utilizing a Value Added Reseller (VAR) software, support, and maintenance arrangement. The existing infrastructure involves integration with the DOJ's current computing environment, requiring the implementation contractor to work within the state's established technological ecosystem. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the project represents a significant investment in legal technology infrastructure, focusing on modernizing litigation support capabilities within the Department of Justice. The implementation will be confined to the Ringtail eDiscovery platform, with the contractor responsible for ensuring a fully operational system tailored to the Division of Legal Services' workflow requirements.
