1. Background

The Department of the Treasury generates large volumes of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) through its mission-critical financial, regulatory, and enforcement operations. This includes email, documents, chat records, multimedia, and structured data produced across more than 100,000 personnel and 50+ bureaus such as the IRS, Fiscal Service, BEP, U.S. Mint, OCC, FinCEN, TTB, TIGTA, and OIG. Treasury’s ESI is routinely subject to FOIA requests, litigation discovery, congressional inquiries, and oversight investigations, requiring consistent, secure, and legally compliant management.

Treasury currently relies on multiple disparate FOIA and eDiscovery tools and procurement approaches, resulting in fragmented processes, duplicative investments, and inconsistent compliance with federal records, cybersecurity, and accessibility requirements. To address these challenges, Treasury intends to establish a department-wide Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for a unified, cloud-based enterprise platform. The BPA will support the full lifecycle of FOIA and eDiscovery activities—intake, processing, review, redaction, production, and archival—while ensuring compliance with FedRAMP, FISMA, Section 508, and Treasury cybersecurity directives. Treasury seeks to leverage modern commercial capabilities, including AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics, to enhance transparency, reduce backlogs, and improve operational efficiency across all bureaus.
