Please reference attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) and Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM).� BACKGROUND This is a new requirement for Legal Hold, Identification, Preservation, and Collection (HIPC) support.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK The OCC is engaged in a multi-year and multi-step effort to create an end-to-end, cloud-based eDiscovery program consisting of a fully integrated tool set, covering the full scope of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). Previous efforts have included: (a) the 2019 implementation of a cloud-based Relativity solution for document processing and document review; and (b) the augmentation and realignment of current staff that perform the hands-on identification, preservation and collection activities of the OCC, known as the ""eDiscovery support services."" The Relativity solution, which is externally hosted by an integrator, is known within the OCC as the Alternative Litigation Support System (ALSS). The HIPC solution is expected to interoperate with the OCC's Relativity solution. To modernize and complete its end-to-end, fully integrated cloud-based eDiscovery program, the OCC seeks a Contractor with significant and demonstrated experience in implementing commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to address organizations� identification, collection, and preservation needs. For the left side of the EDRM, the OCC seeks a managed service supported by a single suite of tools, or a collection of fully integrated tools. The HIPC solution is intended to be used enterprise-wide by: (1) legal staff primarily in Litigation and Enforcement, but occasionally in the other CCO practice areas; and (2) Information Technology Services employees and contractors. The tasks require a set of skills based on the following approximate labor categories: Project Manager Business Consultant Security Analyst Systems Architect Engineer/Architect Technical Specialist Quality Assurance/Configuration Analyst Trainer CONTEMPLATED PLACE OF PERFORMANCE The Contractor�s place of performance will typically be the Contractor�s facilities.
