[State Entity Name] Employment & Economic Development Department [Description of Work] UI Program - Support Services Business Continuity Planning/Disaster Recovery Minnesotas Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program is administered through the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). In 2008, the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted two audits of the State Workforce Agencies UI IT contingency plans to determine if states were prepared to minimize the impact of a disaster or other situations that may disrupt normal UI program operations. The OIG used National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards in evaluating the plans. The summary of findings stated that Minnesota did not have in place sufficient Contingency Plans to ensure adequate disaster response capability as identified in the NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-34, Contingency Planning for Information Technology Systems. To complete the development of business continuity plans for the UI program, DEED wishes to contract with a vendor specializing in Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery Planning. A contracted vendor will develop contingency plans specifically for UI IT recovery and the services required in support of Unemployment Insurance operations. These contingency plans will be developed following the guidelines provided in NIST Special Publication 800-34 Rev. 1 Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems.
