The Department of the Air Force is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights on eDiscovery Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions capable of handling Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level (IL)-5 data. This RFI, intended for information only, aims to identify sources that could provide such solutions on a subscription basis. The Air Force seeks to support its legal offices, including the Judge Advocate General Corps, in investigations and litigations. Potential vendors are invited to submit capability statements and specific information about their solutions, including cloud presence, licensing models, support capabilities, and compliance with Section 508. Responses will inform a Market Assessment Report, influencing future acquisition decisions. The document emphasizes that this RFI does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to contract and stresses the importance of proprietary information handling. An Industry Day is planned for further discussions. Responses are due by September 30, 2024, and submitted via email to the specified contact. The RFI underlines a growing interest in advanced digital solutions while keenly abiding by necessary data protection compliance.
The Department of the Air Force seeks a cloud-based eDiscovery Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution tailored for its Judge Advocate General Corps. This initiative aims to ensure adherence to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the broader eDiscovery Reference Model lifecycle. The contractor must deliver a FedRAMP-approved system compliant with DoD cybersecurity standards and provide continuous operational and maintenance support.
Key tasks include implementing the SaaS solution, ensuring stringent cybersecurity measures, and maintaining system availability (99.9%). Deliverables will comprise user access capabilities, robust data processing and review functionalities, comprehensive training services, and adherence to federal accessibility regulations. The contract will span an initial 12-month period, with four additional 12-month options available.
Performance will be monitored through established Service Level Agreements (SLAs), including criteria for system uptime and response times. The solution aims to enhance the Air Force's legal proceedings efficiency while minimizing risks of data mismanagement during eDiscovery activities.
