F.4 - PROJNET COMMUNICATIONS

F.4.1 ProjNet Utilization for Transmission/Delivery of Unclassified and SBU Documents, Reports and Drawings ProjNet is an accredited a web-based Extranet that enhances the security associated with the exchange of unclassified and Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information, and provides business applications that improve the communication between OBO and partner contracting activities. The service name is ProjNet (Project Extranet). ProjNet supports both Contractor/Government exchange of information, as well as a folder for internal Contractor exchange.

ProjNet can be utilized by deployed field personnel for submission of unclassified and SBU documents, reports and as-builts. ProjNet can be accessed via the Internet by field personnel and any unclassified correspondence, reports, drawings, etc., can be transmitted either by the field personnel to the Contractor within the Contractor Exchange folders, or to the COR via the Contractor/Government exchange folder.

F.4.2 ProjNet System Capabilities. ProjNet has been developed to support web-based USG-to-Business applications related to the DoS’s facility engineering, design, and construction projects worldwide. In general, ProjNet supports four generic types of business processes: document collaboration, work product evaluation, contract monitoring, and information dissemination. The FILER application will be available to support this contract. There are additional applications which may be authorized for use at the direction of the COR, and as discussed and agreed upon in the Communication Security Protocols meeting.

FILER: FILER is a collaborative application that allows authorized project participants to exchange documents among a specific work group. ProjNet will support document collaboration among project teams. In FILER, design drawings and related documents may be transmitted among business partners. FILER provides permission framework and access designations to files stored on the ProjNet server. As required, audit information may also be tracked. ProjNet’s FILER meets the FPS-140 USG requirement to electronically encrypt SBU data. FILER is currently DoS’s only approved method for transmitting Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information across the Internet.

• DrChecks: Contract deliverables (typically plans and specifications) will be reviewed for contract compliance utilizing a document review and checking tool called DrChecks. DrChecks assists the team (both contractor and USG) in collecting, organizing, and tracking issues to resolution. DrChecks is the tool that supports the Request for Information (RFI) process.

• Submittal Register This electronic submittal tool standardizes and organizes construction submittals in single location online. This application automates the workflow for construction submittals including the collection, coordination, technical evaluation, and approval of submittals in pdf format. The application is designed to be used by the General Contractor, his suppliers, the Designer of Record, and by Government Quality Assurance and technical staff.

F.4.3 Classification and Sensitivity of Data Processed. ProjNet will support Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data only. Classified and SBU/NOFORN information is not allowed on ProjNet. The only allowable electronic transmission method for classified and SBU/NOFORN is ProjNet-C or ClassNet. It is the responsibility of all ProjNet users to understand the Department of State’s classification guidelines, and to limit the distribution of data on the ProjNet site to unclassified and SBU information only. All movement of unclassified and SBU electronic project files across the web will be limited to this site in order to protect data from interception. The Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security will have complete access to all ProjNet data and logs with the purpose of policing classification guidelines. The hosting web site and equipment supporting ProjNet are USG owned, and all data passing across the website shall be construed as the property of the USG, subject to enforcement of its classification guidelines.

F.4.4 ProjNet Service Operation. ProjNet uses secure socket layer (SSL) technology to transmit data between client and server.

This technology is built into the site so it is accessible from any Internet connection.
