The document outlines a Statement of Work (SOW) for a software program designed to manage conflicts of interest disclosures. The primary goal is to continue utilizing a third-party solution that facilitates the collection, management, and reporting of conflicts related to external activities and financial interests. Key features required include configurable disclosures, a dashboard for compliance monitoring, automatic flagging of potential conflicts, and robust case management functionalities. Notably, the vendor must have FedRAMP approval, offer single sign-on capabilities, and be able to import employee data from Workday. Additionally, the solution should provide unlimited data storage, perform weekly backups, and support up to 5,000 users, starting with approximately 3,500. Essential support services include a 24/7 internet-based ticket system and a dedicated representative for client needs. Data migration, implementation, and training are also necessary for transitioning from the current vendor. This initiative reflects the government's priority in ensuring transparency and compliance through effective conflict of interest management systems.
