Follow on Google News | IJIS Institute Releases Justice Information Sharing Pre-Request For Proposals ToolkitThird edition procurement resource provides state and local governments a resource to streamline acquisition of information technology systems
By: IJIS Institute As with previous editions, the Toolkit was developed using a technical assistance (TA) grant from the Department of Justice’ The Toolkit now includes information regarding DOJ’s Global Standards Package (GSP), which represents the consensus information sharing implementation approach of DOJ’s Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global). The GSP includes tools for establishing data standards, messaging architectures, security, and federated access control, as well as preserving privacy and civil liberties. Understanding how to incorporate the GSP into system requirements and procurement actions is critical for justice agencies to be able to verify that their information systems are able to share data when needed. In addition to the new requirement for grantees to use Global standards, the third edition of the Pre-RFP Toolkit provides updated reference materials and useful links, and refreshes standards and models that have evolved since the prior edition. It also provides guidance in several areas critical to pre-procurement planning and readiness assessment, ranging from defining integrated justice goals for state and local government, to assessing project support and governance, to developing strategic plans and project requirements. The Pre-RFP Toolkit contains links to key resources, tools, templates, and examples from seasoned practitioners and service providers experienced in the procurement process and who have implemented successful justice information sharing systems. In making these additions, the contents of the Toolkit were also reorganized to more closely align with the typical pre-procurement planning process employed by justice organizations. Steve Ambrosini, executive director of the IJIS Institute said, “We are pleased to have been able to update and enhance this valuable procurement tool. The revisions to the toolkit will make this edition an even more valuable resource to enhance justice information sharing efforts across the country.” To download the Pre-RFP Toolkit at no charge, please visit: http://www.ijis.org/_ # # # About the IJIS Institute— End
