FBI releases Sentinel solicitation

Brian Robinson writes in FCW.com:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released the request for proposals for its next generation electronic information management system, called Sentinel, that replaces the failed $170 million Virtual Case File (VCF) system.

VCF was part of the FBI's Trilogy program that was meant to modernize the FBI's outdated computer systems, but that was canceled in March of this year because of cost and schedule overruns due to what the Justice department's inspector general called poor management and oversight.

The Sentinel RFP, made under the National Institutes of Health's Chief information Officer Solutions & Partners 2 Innovations (CIOSP2i) governmentwide contract, calls for responses to be made by this fall. A contract award is tentatively set for the end of the year, the FBI said in a statement.
