Independent Audit Services of Office of Human Capital Records

The Department of Homeland Security, through the Office of Human Capital (OHC), is seeking an independent contractor to perform a comprehensive audit of its human-capital operations, personnel actions, and workforce management records. The objective is to evaluate the completeness, accuracy, organization, retention, and accessibility of both electronic and physical records, including those in shared repositories and physical storage. The audit will identify risks and corrective actions to strengthen records-management practices in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) guidance and DHS policies. The project is expected to be completed within 90 to 180 calendar days after award. Key deliverables include an audit plan, a prioritized remediation roadmap, a senior-leadership briefing, and supporting workpapers. The contractor must maintain a strict quality-assurance process, and all deliverables will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for technical accuracy and compliance. The scope is strictly limited to records-management and process-audit functions; the contractor is prohibited from making determinations regarding benefits adjudication, vetting, or legal enforcement actions. This effort is currently in the market research phase via a Request for Information (RFI) to determine capabilities and estimated pricing.
