Request for Quote (RFQ) – U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Intelligence Unit – FWS - Research Subscription License – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Intelligence Unit requires an analytical tool to search through the hundreds of millions of publicly available and commercially available digital contents to further investigative and CWT efforts. The ability to bring multiple, disparate data sources together for filtering and analysis will substantially improve OLE intelligence gathering and support capabilities. All purchased licenses, subscriptions, and add-ons will be used to directly support OLE IU Intelligence Research Specialists, Special Agents, and Wildlife Inspectors by providing an effective means to search publicly available and commercially available digital content, such as hundreds of millions of URLs, more than a billion blogs, millions of consumer reviews, and dozens of data sources (including traditional web outlets, social media channels, and some proprietary third-party data sets).
- Although 90% of state and local government agencies have improved their use of data analytics in the past two years, four out of five say the gap between how much data they collect and the how much they use for meaningful analytics is widening, according to a new report. “MeriTalk’s “Accelerating Data-Driven Government” study also found that 89% of respondents agree that data analytics is “the lifeblood of modern government,” but 63% are still in the early to middle stages of analytics maturity, and only 36% grade their agency’s use of analytics to create meaningful information an A. What’s more, 78% of respondents said the amount of data their organization collects is growing faster than their ability to keep up.”
