DEA RFP Case Management Systems and Failures
Notice ID IST-1234
“Current technical capabilities for information tracking, sharing, and analysis are limited by the design of the current toolset utilized as the primary work enablers for ISTA. These applications were not designed to provide high levels of confidentiality, integrity, or accessibility for those with a need to know; nor where they intended to be the backbone of significant analytical and business processing activities in a high operational tempo (OPTEMPO) office. As workloads increase, the technology becomes a limiting factor for maturing ISTA in a way that would ensure increased capabilities in the mission to detect, deter, and mitigate insider threats.

I'm sorry I didn't get to connect with you on Office Day Monday's about this request. But I wanted to offer some Adobo. You are welcomed to narrow the request to 200 pages. You can spice up 50 pages per year or even send 200 pages from the 4 years that were selected to 'not have disciplinary action taken'.
Best,
William

Hi Joyce:
I sent an email to make the request less broad. Unfortunately, I see we got a 'quick lazy response which' didn't allow you redact the records like a normal agency to show some transparency. Can you send me a response to confirm you received my response to narrow the search?
Just want to make sure we have the 'facts' correct for the appeal.
Best,
William

Miss Davis:
I just wanted to share the precedent as I already offered you to narrow the scope. You can redact these records.
