Additional Details
The Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), operating under the Department of Justice, has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source purchase order to Ipro Tech, LLC for the provision of Ipro Eclipse SE software products. This procurement is authorized under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive acquisitions when only one responsible source is capable of meeting the agency’s requirements.
The scope of this procurement encompasses the licensing, maintenance, and support of the Ipro Eclipse SE suite, specifically including modules for Review, Publish, Print, Scan, and Streaming Ingestion. These tools are essential for the United States Attorneys’ Offices (USAOs) nationwide, enabling attorneys and legal support staff to efficiently manage eDiscovery projects across geographically dispersed locations. The software suite is required to process both paper and electronic files, handle images, and manage existing load files, thereby supporting a comprehensive range of discovery activities.
Key objectives and deliverables of this procurement include:
- The ability to process native electronically stored information (ESI) and convert it into various industry-standard electronic discovery formats.
- Loading and managing processed ESI within a platform that facilitates review, search, analysis, and categorization.
- Running advanced text searches across ESI collections to identify relevant and privileged information.
- Tagging and categorizing documents for relevance, privilege, and legal issue association.
- Creating productions in multiple industry-standard formats for electronic discovery.
- Presenting ESI effectively at trial.
- Generating standalone deliverables that allow recipients—particularly those without access to eDiscovery software—to view, search, and tag documents without requiring additional software.
This capability is particularly critical given the USAOs’ frequent need to produce large volumes of eDiscovery to opposing counsel who may lack sophisticated technical resources. The Ipro Eclipse SE suite’s ability to create accessible, standalone deliverables is a key requirement to ensure compliance and efficiency in legal proceedings.
The place of performance for this contract is the District of Columbia, United States. The contracting activity is managed by the EOUSA Acquisitions Staff, a federal office within the Department of Justice’s Offices, Boards, and Divisions. The primary point of contact for this notice is Bryant Gilbertson, who can be reached via email at [email protected]. Interested parties are advised that this notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive quotations. However, information received within five days of the notice’s publication will be considered by the Government, though the final decision to proceed with a sole source award rests solely with the Government. Telephonic inquiries are discouraged.
This procurement is classified as a sole source action, with no set-aside requirements or competitive solicitation anticipated. Contractors evaluating this opportunity should note that the requirement is highly specialized, with a clear preference for continuity and compatibility with existing eDiscovery workflows and infrastructure within the USAOs.
