The Department of State seeks to determine the availability of contractors with the ability to meet the records management and operational services requirements of the agency’s Office of Information Programs and Services, which oversees the Records Service Center and the department’s eRecords archive system under the Federal Records Program.
The State Department is looking into small businesses that are also General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule holders, according to a sources sought notice posted Tuesday on SAM.gov.
The contractor will work to support the Office of Information Programs and Services when it relocates the Records Service Center, or RSC, from its current facility to an as yet undetermined location by 2026 at the latest. This relocation is part of the State Department’s response to directives by the National Archives and Records Administration mandating the transition of government agencies to electronic records and the cessation of hard copy accessioning by June 30.
The work that the contractor would have to support includes project management, RSC operations maintenance, records management, electronic records processing, training, customer service and facility support and security.
Interested parties have until April 9 to respond.
