OCI's Investigative Analysis Branch (IAB) is tasked with the responsibility of supporting criminal investigations through researching resources to validate and corroborate data obtained during the criminal investigations. Objective Investigative Analysis Branch (IAB) needs a resource to identify the telephone subscribers for telephone numbers obtained from authorized pen registers set up by OCI. Scope Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, materials, services, facilities, except as provided in the schedule, and otherwise do all things necessary for or incident to the performance of the work as described below: Provide a secure, web-based interface to access to real time telephone subscriber information. The real-time, secure, online access must also be cloaked so that the Contractor does not know what searches are being conducted and what information is being obtained by OCI end users. The contractor shall describe how the cloaking will be accomplished. This feature shall be adhered to in order to ensure the integrity of OCI Investigations. Provide the ability for the end user to upload at least a minimum of 500 phone numbers into a single query, also known as a "batch" query. Batch query results must provide the name and address associated with a particular telephone number. The Contractor's telephone subscriber query results must be able to interface with Pen Link's Pen-Proxy program. Provide the means to search for telephone subscriber data via a secure web-portal web site. The web site must be able to generate customized forms detailing the information found regarding the telephone subscriber information. The detail information should include but is not limited to the following; telephone number, subscriber name, street address, city, state, and zip code. Provide data based on criteria entered by OCI personnel within a matter of minutes. The data must be provided to OCI in .csv (comma-separated values), Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat format that can be quickly viewed, exported and disseminated to the appropriate personnel. OCI will access the web-portal and query and download data from the website. OCI will be using the web-portal to conduct searches against the telephonic data to verify and confirm law enforcement information or, if necessary will generate its own OCI internal reports by possibly incorporating some of the downloaded information. OCI will be responsible for any report or manner in which the data is used in its law enforcement function. No computer equipment to store any of the information extracted by OCI will be provided by the Contractor. Provide a customer support via a phone number, chat or e-mail address to OCI end users. This support should be available at a minimum Monday through Friday from 8 am to 9pm EST. The contractor shall not be held responsible for OCI hardware technical issues. Training shall be available via an interactive self-service website to the authorized OCI end users. The web-portal database service shall be accessible seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days of the year. The web-portal database service shall be made available to OCI end users at any location with an internet connection. OCI's point of contact for the database service shall be the IAB's Lead Intelligence Research Specialist. Provide access to this database service for 20 end users. The Contractor shall also provide a cost break out for additional end users. OCI is seeking a base year and four option years for the database service described.
