Response is strictly voluntary and the Government will not provide any reimbursement for any response for the effort expended in the preparation of a response by any vendor. Submission of a response to this RFI notice will not affect any potential offeror's ability to submit a quotation/proposal in the future should funding become available and a solicitation is issued. There is no solicitation document associated with this RFI. There is no obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any product or service as a result of this RFI. Submissions made to the Government will not be returned. Information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding upon the Government. INTRODUCTION and BACKGROUND The U.S. International Trade Commission's (USITC) is an independent, quasi-judicial Federal agency with broad investigative responsibilities on matters of trade. The USITC's mission is to: (1) administer U.S. trade remedy laws within its mandate in a fair and objective manner; (2) provide the President, the United States Trade Representative (USTR), and Congress with independent, quality analysis, information, and support on matters relating to tariffs and international trade and competitiveness; and (3) maintain the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. As part of the USITC's mission, the Commission conducts antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigations under title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930, as well as fact-finding studies conducted under the Tariff Act of 1930. The agency investigates the effects of dumped and subsidized imports on domestic industries and conducts global safeguard investigations. The Commission also adjudicates cases involving imports that allegedly infringe intellectual property rights. As such, the Commission must be able to receive, share, search, and control large volumes of discovery documentation from inside and outside of the agency for investigations, hearings, and other administrative proceedings. This documentation may contain Confidential Business Information (CBI) and must have sufficient controls to ensure the security of that information, and have sufficient controls to allow only the necessary individuals to view information at the appropriate level, including internal to the organization. PURPOSE The purpose of this RFI is to gather information from industry to improve the USITC's understanding of market capabilities and to identify vendors capable of providing this type of document management solution. The USITC is looking for information on solutions that meet the Commission's objectives, and that offer other options to improve productivity. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS General requirements include a Cloud based solution (application and storage) that allows the secure exchange of work products with parties outside of the agency, including law firms, individuals, and other government agencies. Ideally, the solution will: •1. Allow the Commission to create folders for shared content within a file and invite external collaborators to view or update the content. •2. Allow/provide text search capability across documents, including Boolean searches. •3. Allow external access web portal to be branded. •4. Allow for the potential for unlimited storage, scalable based on business need. •5. Allow for full governance controls with the USITC. •6. Allow for account creation without IT intervention being required. •7. Allow external users to view/access/submit content through a web portal that does not require the user to download or install software. •8. Allow/provide metadata tagging and scrubbing. •9. Allow/provide document comparison. •10. Allow integration with Microsoft Outlook. •11. Be FedRamp (GSA's Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) compliant or verifiable equivalent HOW TO RESPOND Interested organizations responding to this RFI may provide a Capabilities Statement or other relevant information regarding the organization's capabilities as they relate to the information contained herein.
