Section B

B.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of this contract is to procure Geospatial Information Services, for the Department of Compact Operations (DCO)

- Infrastructure, Environment and Private Sector Division (IEPS) and DCO - Sector Operations.

B.2 SERVICES INTRODUCTION

Effective use of geospatial technologies and information can improve development, oversight and evaluation of MCC-funded programs. Increasingly, MCC staff across the Department of Compact Operations rely on geospatial information, technologies and analyses in their work. The agency's approach to date has been somewhat ad hoc, however, as a compliment to existing country specific contracts, experience has demonstrated that DCO requires a more systematic, coordinated approach to employing best practice in terms of geospatial technologies and techniques in the development and oversight of investments.

This is particularly important early in compact development, which country specific technical resources are not available, yet MCC is accelerating the pace of compact and threshold development. Proper use of geospatial information can better inform MCC decisions and accelerate progress and increase the effectiveness of MCC oversight and investments.

B.3 SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the tasks as defined in Section C of the Statement of Work.

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting MCC's operations and as of this solicitation posting, the extent of the impact is not yet fully known.

Due to this uncertainty, various aspects of the requirement terms may change (e.g., period of performance). Should changes be necessary, the Government will determine whether they are material and whether to engage in communications. This may lead to revisions in certain terms of this requirement to ensure tasks can proceed safely.

Activities involving international and/or domestic travel may be delayed and/or modified. MCC will only approve the start of fieldwork under this requirement once the target country relaxes social distancing and removes travel-related restrictions.

When in-country work begins, the contractor will be expected to take precautions to protect their staff, enumerators, respondents, and other stakeholders from COVID-19 exposure. This can include using face masks, checking enumerator temperatures daily before going out in the field, and considering the possibility of phone interviews rather than in-person interviews. Should any delays be necessary due to COVID-19, the contractor shall inform MCC as soon as possible to discuss the best course of action.

Please refer to the following resources for up-to-date information regarding COVID-19:

CDC General Information: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

CDC Travel Related Information: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html

Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement

Section C Geospatial Support Services Statement of Work

C.1 Summary

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an independent United States Government (USG) international development agency, seeks a firm to provide geospatial support services. Effective use of geospatial technologies, analytical approaches, and information can improve the identification, development, oversight and evaluation of MCC-funded programs.

Increasingly, MCC staff across the Department of Compact Operations (DCO) rely on geospatial information, technologies and analyses in their work.

The successful firm will provide technical advice, analytic support, and coordination for effective use of geospatial information and technology across DCO. And while reporting and providing direct support to DCO, the firm will help coordinate our use of geospatial information with other key MCC offices, including the Department of Compact Operations Front Office and the Office of the Chief Information Officer.

The contract will be intended to provide a flexible mechanism, providing demand driven technical support to country teams and DCO practices. It will complement the work of longer-term, deeper support procured directly by MCC country teams.

Further, it will build upon lessons learned and work completed under the current geospatial support contract.

C.2 Responsibilities of the Consultant

C.2.1 Support due diligence of MCC country programs

Our objective is to provide geospatial technical assistance to DCO management and staff responsible for scoping, designing, preparing and overseeing Compact and Threshold Programs. This would include, but not be limited to:

1) Providing technical assistance. Areas include (but are not limited to):

a. Opportunities to improve due diligence, decision-making, and oversight through the use of geospatial tools, technology, analyses, and information.

b. Assessing geospatial information needs and opportunities for an individual compact/threshold program, identifying appropriate geospatial tools and information to meet those needs, and supporting DCO due diligence and oversight efforts involving their application.

c. At a DCO Departmental level, assessing and selecting the appropriate technology and related software/Information Technology (IT) platform(s) to be used for a given geospatial information objective, including the administrative requirements such as how to standup the system and coordinate responsibilities across MCC teams and contractors, MCAs and their contactors.

d. This will include an appropriate mix of agency-approved cloud based applications (such as ESRI's ArcGIS Online, Collector, and Survey123 for ArcGIS and associated hardware, such as smartphones and Global Positioning System ( GPS)-enabled tablets) and desktop applications (such as ArcGIS).

e. Developing technical specifications and scopes of work for Geographical Information System (GIS)-related work.

f. Day to day use of geospatial information and technology, providing authoritative guidance to DCO staff.

2) Assisting implementation of geospatial work (data collection/generation, compilation and analyses) in support of DCO involvement in program scoping, design, due diligence and oversight. Provision of related "on-the-job" training, capacity building, and mentoring for DCO staff as appropriate.

3) Provide technical assistance and support for MCC country teams to use geospatial information collaboratively with partners. These may include MCAs, their partners, and MCC consultants and contractors.

4) Travel to MCC countries to provide in country support for DCO staff as appropriate, e.g. where the work will have relevance and applicability for multiple MCC country programs.

C.2.2 Capacity building

1) Strengthen the capacity of MCC staff to use geospatial tools and information to support their work.

2) Support MCC's efforts to strengthen the capacity of partner organizations, including partner country Core Teams and MCAs, to collaborate with MCC using geospatial tools and information.

C.2.3 Coordination

DCO's generation and use of geospatial information must be consistent with policies and systems developed by MCC.

Because agency policies and systems will inform DCO use and maintenance of geospatial information, the consultant may be called upon to:

1) Advise DCO Management on key opportunities, constraints and recommended courses of action for using geospatial data and technology in the development and oversight of investments.

2) Contribute to DCO planning and coordination related to the use of geospatial information for due diligence and oversight. This may include geospatial standards, policy, programs and technology related to DCO staff's core day to day tasks and objectives.

3) Help DCO develop technical guidelines, standards, contract templates and other guidance essential for effective use of geospatial information and technology for due diligence and oversight. One aim of DCO is to adequately capture and share geospatial information consistently throughout Compacts and Threshold Programs. This may require coordination with management in other agency departments regarding relevant technical, legal and operational policies and procedures relevant to such guidelines and standards, including those related to data security and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

4) Support DCO coordination with relevant MCC offices (e.g. DCO Front Office and Office of the Chief Information Officer). This may include (but not be limited to) guidance on technical challenges such as integration, configuration and interfacing with data storage requirements for web-based enterprise architecture applications;

sharing data between MCC and overseas counterpart agencies (MCA's); advising DCO on how to help the Agency meet relevant United States Government requirements on data collection, storage and sharing; and systems for retrieving data from contractors and consultants.

C.3 The consultants may be called on to perform other related duties.

b. Geographic Data Files must be submitted in a geographic file format such as Shapefile (.shp), GeoTIFF (.tif), CSV (.csv), GeoJSON (.geojson), or other suitable geo-referenced vector, line, or point data format acceptable to [MCC or MCA].

c. In addition to fulfilling the submission requirements noted above, Geographic Data Files that are stored in other file formats that may be useful to end users can be voluntarily submitted in those file formats. For example, Geographic Data Files stored in a File Geodatabase (.gdb) or as a Web Map Service (WMS) can also be submitted.

d. Geographic Data Files, such as those stored in Shapefile (.shp) or GeoTIFF (.tif) formats, must include metadata that follows the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)'s Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) or ISO 19115 using the ISO 19139 XML implementation schema. For example, see the instructions on changing the metadata style in Esri ArcGIS Desktop http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/managedata/ metadata/choosing-a-metadata-style.htm Metadata should be sufficient to describe the data following the definition of "described" in definitions of OMB M-13-13. See the definition of "Described" under the Open Data in section I. Definitions of OMB M-13-13: https://project-open-data.cio.gov/policy-memo/

e. Geographic Data Files that are stored in a CSV or GeoJSON format and contain latitude/longitude coordinates will include supplementary information regarding: 1) the method used to create the latitude/longitude coordinates; 2) the spatial reference used to generate the latitude/longitude coordinates and 3) the geographical precision of the latitude/longitude coordinates using the International Aid Transparency Initiative standards. For example, see the International Aid Transparency Initiative Geographical Precision coding system: http://iatistandard.org/201/codelists/GeographicalPrecision/ For example, a latitude/longitude coordinate may represent an exact location, the center of a populated place, or the center of subnational administrative unit.

See the definition of "Described" under the Open Data in section I. Definitions of OMB M-13-13: https://projectopen-data.cio.gov/policy-memo/ This information must be included in addition to the actual CSV dataset. f. Geographic Data Files that are stored in Shapefile (.shp), GeoTIFF (.tif), or GeoJSON (.geojson), JSON (.json) file formats will use the Geographic Coordinate System World Geodetic System 1984 (GCS WGS 1984) spatial reference. If the use of a different spatial reference was required for an analysis, the spatial reference that was used must be indicated elsewhere in the metadata.

Geographic Data Processing and Analysis Files

a. Geographic Data Processing and Analysis Files that are written in programming languages will include a description of the language they are written in (e.g., a Python file would be .py, a Javascript file would be .js, etc.), the intended purpose of the file, use limitations, and execution instructions.

b. Geographic Data Processing and Analysis Files will include descriptive comments and relative pathnames to enable efficient and effective use by an end user.

c. Geographic Data Processing and Analysis Files are stored in an online repository, such as GitHub, these files can also be submitted as a clone of the repository.

Geographic Data Visualization Files

a. Geographic Data Visualization Files created using desktop GIS software will be submitted in Esri Map Document (.mxd) or QGIS Project (.qgs) file formats.

b. Geographic data visualization products that are finalized in separate desktop software or stored in a different file format can also be submitted if they may be of use to an end user. For example, when a data visualization product is stored as a Map Package or is finalized in Adobe Illustrator, the Map Package (.mpk), or Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file can be additionally submitted.

c. Geographic Data Visualization Files written in a programming language and used to generate web-based data visualization products will include an indication of the programming language (for example, a Python file would be .py, a Javascript file would be .js, etc.)

d. Geographic Data Visualization Files will reference relative pathnames to the source of all Geographic Data Files that are displayed in the data visualization product.

e. When products created with the Geographic Data Visualization Files are included in documents that are submitted to [MCA

– MCC], such as a report that includes a map created with a Geographic Data Visualization File, the URL that links to the location of the document in the DEC must be provided.

Sensitive Geospatial Data Administration

During the course of this assignment, the Consultant may generate, obtain or manage geospatial data with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or other sensitive data. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-122[4] - Guide to Protecting the Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) defines PII as "any information about an individual maintained by an agency, including (1) any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, mother's maiden name, or biometric records; and (2) any other information that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as medical, educational, financial, and employment information."

Prior to the acquisition or use of sensitive data, the Consultant shall develop a written data management plan to be approved by MCC and/or MCA. The Consultant shall implement the approved data management plan for the acquisition or use of any sensitive data.

The data management plan must meet the following requirements:

a. Data Storage: The Consultant shall establish specific practices to protect confidentiality of the data during use and storage, applicable to all data handlers. Such practices shall include, among others, encrypting data files; employing password protection on data systems and data encryption; and requiring relevant stakeholders to sign non-disclosure agreements (if primary data is collected). As per MCC information technology standards, the end point encryption software shall meet AES- 256 encryption standards or above. Consultant shall establish a centralized system for storing the sensitive data appropriately and:

b. Data Transfer/Access: When sharing identifiable data files – data with PII, either direct or indirect identifiers – the Consultant shall use a secure file transfer system and controlled access to the storage mechanism, considering the following:

i. Ensure all communication channels are encrypted, especially Wi-Fi connections;

ii. File transfers shall occur only through https connections;

iii. Use of hyperlinks for connections shall be prohibited; instead, users shall only connect to trusted sites by manually starting a new web-browsing session;

iv. As a last resort, password protect and encrypt all PDFs or other data types if there are no other solutions available for secure file transfers.

MCC 52.232-73 TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT (MAY 2017)

Policy.When authorized as part of the Scope of Work on this contract/order and within the contract/order ceiling and as approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or other MCC officials as described below, travel expenses incurred in performance of technical directives issued under this contractor/order may be reimbursed as allowed by the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) in effect at the time of travel. MCC's supplemental policy interpretations are derived from the FTR and cannot grant additional benefits or adjust processes defined in the FTR. Supplemental policies of MCC set forth below:

a) Traveler Responsibilities. All contractor travelers must:

1) Exercise the same care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business;

2) Travel in accordance with the FTR and the MCC policies included in this document; and

3) Pay any charges or fees associated with non-compliance of FTR or any MCC policies included in this document, and any expenses incurred for personal convenience. For example, the traveler may become personally responsible for travel costs associated with unauthorized use of other than coach class accommodations, failing to follow the Fly American Act requirements, exceeding per diem rates, changing departure or return flights, purchasing unapproved items, etc. regardless of the fact that travel arrangements may have been booked by others (e.g., Travel Agency).

b) Cabin Class Standards

1) The standard cabin class for contractor air-travel is coach class, regardless of destination or travel time.

2) Coach "premium" class may be authorized for destinations which have a travel time of more than 14 hours, consistent with the Federal Travel Regulations and the approval standards outlined in paragraph (f) of this document.

3) Business class travel accommodations will NOT be authorized except as determined through the approval process outlined in paragraph (f) of this document. This approval process is considered to be exceptional, to be part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time.

c) Airlines and Flights. In accordance with the Fly America Act, contractors must use a U.S. flag air carrier service for all travel funded by the government beginning or ending in the U.S. unless a specific exemption to the "Fly America" rule applies. Flights on U.S. air carrier pairings with foreign carriers (i.e., code share flights) are regarded as meeting Fly America requirements if the ticket is issued on the American carrier and there is an American carrier flight number.

d) Limitations. Travel reimbursement, which is part of ODC, shall not exceed the authorized ODC amount on the contract. To be reimbursable, the travel expenses must be:

1) Allowable under the FTR and the provisions of this contract/order and associated technical directives;

2) Approved prior to travel expenditure by the COR; and

3) Allocable and necessary for performance of this contract/order and associated technical directives.

e) Reimbursement Requests. Travel reimbursement requests must be submitted in sufficient time for the COR to give prior approval, and must identify:

1) The name of the traveler.

2) Destination (s) including itinerary.

3) Purpose of the travel; and

4) Cost breakdown.

5) To be reimbursed, invoices including travel expenses must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. Contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all travel expenses invoiced when the expenditure is $75.00 or more. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any travel expense paid.

f) Approvals. All travel expenses, including rental cars, must be approved by the MCC COR in writing in advance of booking any travel and incurring travel expenses. The following expense types require additional MCC pre-approvals beyond that of the COR. These additional approvals and associated justifications will be documented in writing:

1) Business class - Business class travel is considered to be exceptional, to be determined as part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time. To reflect the exceptional nature of this approval, the justification for use of business class must be prepared by the COR and approved in writing by the relevant Managing Director or Deputy Vice President of the organization requesting the contractor to travel. The single exception to requiring this justification and approval for every trip in question is when a State Department approved medical accommodation has been granted. In this case, the approval of the COR and the Contracting Officer only is required after verifying that the medical accommodation is effective for the trip in question and that sufficient funds are available. All justifications must verify that the contractor is required to report for duty the following day or sooner, that the travel time for the trip is at least 14 hours, and that a rest stop will not be taken en route.
