VOLUME 3. ISSUE 30.

Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Fed Data Prospector (Vol. 3, Issue 30). For our readers from the U.S., we want to wish you all a belated Happy 4th of July. Hopefully, everyone had a nice weekend – even if you didn’t get Monday as a holiday. As usual, Carpe Datum is manning our post and searching high and low for juicy federal contracting opportunities in the Data & Analytics space. As luck would have it, we are coming off the three-day weekend like Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka used to come off the top rope (pardon the dated Pro Wrestling reference) and we have a “target-rich” set of new business opps for our community to pursue. Happy hunting!    As usual, please help us spread the word about this publication by sharing the wealth with colleagues, co-workers, and companions - Click here to sign-up for the newsletter.   Request for Information (RFI) – Treasury/Internal Revenue Service (IRS) -- IRS Asset Locator Services  – The IRS seeks the ability to effectively locate people and businesses, as well as their assets, both domestically and internationally, for individuals and businesses. To accomplish this, we need a tool that accurately consolidates data from various sources. The following data categories are mandatory: Aircraft; Bankruptcy data; Coast Guard data; Credit Bureau Header data, including last three addresses; Date of birth; Fictitious Business Names; Judgments; Liens; Real property records including Grantee/Grantor, historical record and tax assessor data; Secretary of State/State Corporation Commission data (e.g. incorporation details, officer/principal data, corporate asset data, etc.); Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) data; Social Security Administration Master Death File; State Department of Motor Vehicle records; and UCC filings.   In other data news, on June 28th, Government Computer News published an interesting story entitled, Minimizing insider threats with open-source intelligence.  In the article, the author, Paul Norton, describes how insider threats rank among the most challenging risks governments face. Trusted insiders under financial pressure, holding a grievance, or motivated by other factors can intentionally damage an agency.   “Using open-source information at scale can be a game-changer. Success, however, will require government and industry working together strategically to update policies for collecting and using open-source data. It is also incumbent upon industry to engage government officials and provide updates about the latest technologies and best practices. At the tactical level, government and the vendor community can work together to identify and adopt the tools and processes for including PAI into a systematic insider threat risk management program.” The Carpe Datum Team
