Short Description:
The Ohio Department of Eduction Office for Child Nutrition wishes to procure the services of a Technical Writer engagement for Fiscal Year 2013 with the option to renew for subsequent years at the discretion of the Office.
Complete Description:
OCN business operations a supported by a number of information technology systems, policies and business processes. The office requires formal structures to document these systems, policies and processes. In some cases existing documentation needs to be updated with current regulations and expanded to fully document the current system, policies and processes. In other cases there is no existing documentation and office needs dictate the creation of new materials.
The office has renewed the commitment to document policies and procedures to assist the agency in the safe use, handling and dissemination of data and information.
In order to ensure compliance with State and Federal audit mandates, ensure adequate documentation to support internal business operations and to ensure adequate documentation to support end user system interactions, the contractor will provide assistance and guidance in documenting OCN information technology systems, policies and business processes as required with each new school year and or support mandates from the USDA on nutrition program changes.
The contractor will, as prioritized by the Director of OCN or her designee, analyze and document existing OCN information technology systems, policies and business processes. Existing documentation will be reviewed and updated. When necessary new documentation will be created. Documentation will capture the viewpoints of OCN resources as well as end users. Documentation should be comprehensive enough so that a new staff member can easily take up necessary function roles for the assessed information technology system, policy or business process.
