ICE-OAQ-TE

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisition Management (OAQ) intends to award a sole source fixed price purchase order to Actionable Intelligence Technology (AIT) to acquire a license maintenance agreement, user support, and upgrade assurance operations for the Financial Investigative System (FIS) application using FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Due to the nature of this procurement, whereby only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements and that the application is for a brand name description, ICE believes there is only one responsible source capable of meeting this requirement. The period of performance for this requirement is for one year with four 12-month option periods. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has a requirement for a license to gain access to the FIS application, which is currently provided by AIT. Actionable Intelligence Technologies has developed a unique FIS, which is the only system of its kind available today that can provide a comprehensive solution to ingest, analyze and provide visual representation of extremely complex financial information. This data is and automatically parse the information into a master investigative database. Once the data is populated into a master investigative database, it can be converted into a spreadsheet format that can be used by different personnel to perform financial investigation tasks.

Comprehensive data analysis functions can be performed on all records entered into the system including the following unique features:

-Integrates scanning, OCR, parsing and database functions to vastly improve data input efficiency.

-A missing document list can be generated indicating all documents that have not been received in accordance with the subpoena.

-Money laundering methodologies can be automatically identified.
