Abstract

In order to serve the American public and the missions of its diverse agencies, the United Stated Federal Government utilizes the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (https://www.acquisition.gov/) to purchase necessary goods and services from private industry. Integral to FAR is the publishing of Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs). As a consultancy within the Federal Information Technology (IT) space, INTEGRITYOne Partners, Inc. (IOP) has responded to dozens of RFIs and RFPs over its nearly twenty-five years in existence. These RFI and RFP responses represent a tremendous amount of IOP’s intellectual capital and reflect the firm’s extensive IT and Program Management expertise. Often containing solution templates, IOP proprietary practices, and detailed capability statements, portions of these assets can be re-used or modified to respond to multiple government solicitations. To keep up with the growing database of these assets, IOP must transition their process of retrieving relevant documents from manual to automated.
