Specifically, these divisions comply with FOIA/PA requests for information in Department of State records from receipt of the request until a final response is made to the requester. This project will allow IPS to process requests under the FOIA/PA in an efficient and appropriate manner, and achieve tangible, measurable improvements in FOIA/PA processing, as mandated in E.O. 13392. These contract personnel, integrated with permanent, trained IPS staff, will assist with backlog reduction. The Department of State intends to issue a solicitation for a contractor to perform to follow FOIA services. Types of services include but are not limited to providing project management, case processing, research, review, information analysis and support to the Office of Information Programs and Services, Requester Liaison and Statutory Compliance and Research Divisions.
