Request for Proposal (RFP) – U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), Directorate of Intelligence -- Tactical Social Media Exploitation Tool – This contract will provide 5,000 licenses for a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software. This contract is intended to satisfy the gaps in the FBI’s SOMEX capabilities. The FBI requires a COTS PAI research software solution (“tool” or “software”) that can be used to search for relevant data on the open web and from public sites. The tool will be used to identify social media and mobile messaging data and other relevant PAI on persons of interest and their associates under legal authorities available in an FBI assessment or predicated investigations.
In other data news, on December 17th, FedScoop published an interesting article entitled, IRS cyber deficiencies leave taxpayer data at risk, IG report says. In this article, Dave Nyczepir describes how the IRS has cybersecurity deficiencies that leave taxpayer data open to misuse, tampering or disclosure due, in part, to the agency’s over-reliance on old systems, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
- “The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act passed in March gave the IRS an additional $1 billion in funding, including provisions to modernize legacy systems. But conservative political groups have opposed further efforts to increase the tax collection agency’s budget, reported The Washington Post. ‘The reliance on legacy systems and aged hardware and software, and its use of outdated programming languages, pose significant risks to the IRS’s ability to deliver its mission,’ reads the inspector general’s report released Tuesday. ‘Modernizing the IRS’s computer systems has been a persistent challenge for many years and will likely remain a challenge for the foreseeable future.' ”
