    Amendment 2 Questions Responses.pdf
    The document outlines Amendment #2 to the Request for Proposal (RFP) SoS FIN-25-008, focusing on FinCEN's new requirement for vendors regarding the provision of certified FedRAMP High Authority to Operate (ATO) solutions for managing Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI). Key points include that this is a new requirement with no existing incumbent and detail vendor specifications, such as the necessity for personnel with valid security clearances and compliance with FedRAMP standards. The solicitation seeks to enhance data matching accuracy against current public information sources and enforces strict real-time response times. FinCEN anticipates limited transaction volume throughout the year and requires the awardee to complete a market research assessment. The amendment also clarifies vendor partnerships, funding considerations, and response strategies to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The overall purpose emphasizes the need for a robust infrastructure to ensure compliance with security and data management protocols while facilitating the identification of illicit financial threats.
