FOIA Support Services Contract Awarded to PANUM EIT SOLUTIONS for USDA OGC

This award represents a significant blanket purchase agreement contract for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) contractor support services provided to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), specifically the Office of the General Counsel (OGC). The recipient, PANUM EIT SOLUTIONS, LLC., is a small business specializing in information technology solutions and contractor support services, well-suited to meet the legal and information access needs of USDA under this agreement. The contract involves delivering comprehensive FOIA support services that facilitate timely and accurate processing of FOIA requests, thereby enhancing transparency and compliance within the USDA. The agreement underscores the importance of efficient information management in government operations. This multi-year contract features a significant scope of work extending several years into the future, ensuring sustained contractor engagement for FOIA-related responsibilities. It was awarded as a blanket purchase agreement under an existing Federal Supply Schedule contract vehicle (IDV), indicating streamlined procurement through a pre-established government-wide contract. The contract is part of a strategic acquisition program to improve administrative support for FOIA processing while promoting small business participation. Key subcontractors and competitive bidding details are not reported, consistent with the streamlined nature of blanket purchase agreements. The contract follows and draws authority from the related Federal Supply Schedule contract previously awarded to the same recipient. This award marks a vital step towards maintaining effective and lawful information disclosure for USDA stakeholders with continuity planned for nearly five years.
