- Description
- It is the intention of this agency to award a firm-fixed price agreement to Pacer for bankruptcy records checks. This is not a solicitation for quotations, but rather a notice of the agency's intent to make a sole source award Pacer for the period of performance 10/01/2014 - 09/130/2015. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Federal Investigative Service (FIS) seeks to award a firm fixed price agreement to Pacer for the renewal of bankruptcy records checks which supports the personnel security investigative mission and is the only source that does for these records. Pacer is a service of the U.S. Judiciary, run by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and is available days, nights and weekends. Pacer provides electronic access via the web for case and docket information from the Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy courts and from the U.S. Party/Case Index. Almost 19 million cases are available, linked by most all courts in the U.S. and are updated daily. In addition to bankruptcy information, searches can be conducted to determine whether or not a person/party is involved in federal litigation. Pacer bankruptcy searches provide a listing of all parties and participants including judges, attorneys and trustees; a compilation of case-related information such as cause of action, nature of suit and dollar demand; a chronology of case events entered in the case record; appellate court opinions; judgments of case status and types of documents file (ex. schedule of creditors). Pacer has been verified and approved within OPM for use in investigative products. Pacer is the only source for this service as other commercial vendors only provide a portion of the bankruptcy file. Most vendors also do not provide a copy of the schedule, listing all creditors. It is imperative that OPM maintains access to this records source in order to ensure a timely and complete records check. Sending Special Agents to each individual court across the country to conduct record reviews is not practical or a good business practice. This service is also an integral part in supporting the goals of the National Intelligence Directive (NID) with regard to the Personnel Security Investigative mission.
