The Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AO) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) FOR INFORMATION FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. As part of its market research, the Administrative Offices of the U.S. Courts is issuing this RFI to determine if there exists an equivalent to the software program stated below. The Government is seeking an equivalent to the ReadySuite product. ReadySuite is an image format and data information batch conversion program. Discovery, also referred to as Electronically Stored Information (ESI) produced in electronic form (CDs, hard drives, etc.) includes but is not limited to, emails, documents, presentations, databases, voicemail, audio and video files, social media, web sites, etc. These are produced as "image files" and its associated metadata often needs to be imported into litigation support software programs (like Summation, CaseMap and TrialDirector) in order for these images to be viewed as logical documents. As an example: discovery is often produced as single page T1F images. A litigation support program can take these single page TIF images, with their associated metadata and present them to an end user as multiple page documents that can then be organized and reviewed. Discovery in this form cannot be properly loaded into the review program without first being converted or reformatted in ReadySuite. ReadySuite converts certain data formats, the import of discovery is either not possible or would be extremely time consuming. ReadySuite can also assist with migrating data between different programs such CaseMap to TrialDirector. The program needs to export large volumes of image files into existing products like casemap and trial director. The AO is seeking information from possible vendors to include Names of interested parties. Please provide company information to include: Name of Company Address Company Point of Contact to include telephone number and email address A government GWAC contract number if applicable SAM UEI number (An offeror must have a UEI number and be registered in the System for Award Management at the time of award.) 2. What is your equivalent product? Provide the specifications of your product and how it is equivalent to ReadySuite. Can it meet the specifications stated in the specifications document? 3. What is the price of your product? All responses need to be sent via email to David Kelley at David_kelley@ao.uscourts.gov. Please submit requested information by 2:00 PM (Eastern) on July 2, 2025.
