About this file

This is a Technical Assessment Form for the State of Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, for RFP# 202510143 regarding Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Data Collection and Management services. The form serves as an evaluation instrument requiring bidders to demonstrate appropriate architecture, security controls, and compliance with state and federal mandates to protect information assets. Bidders must submit responses across multiple assessment categories including Data Compliance, Bill of Materials, MaineIT requirements, Information Security Standards, Cloud Service Provider requirements, and NIST requirements. The assessment requires Yes/No responses with supporting evidence for each control, covering areas such as data classification compliance (PII Impact Level Low), hosting requirements, application solution management, security incident reporting within 24 hours, authentication integration with Microsoft Active Directory and Okta Platform, vulnerability scanning, configuration management, and physical and environmental protection. All proposed products must be exhaustively listed with URLs, and all responses must address every product included in the Bill of Materials submission.

The Technical Assessment Form emphasizes compliance with specific state and federal standards including NIST 800-171, NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5, Maine Freedom of Access Act, State of Maine Breach Notification Law, Privacy Act of 1974, HIPAA, and HITECH Act requirements. Bidders must provide evidence through published policies, regulatory compliance audit reports, or publicly-accessible URLs, or enclose supporting documentation with their submission. The form requires bidders to submit an Architecture Diagram as a separate attachment to provide context for the assessment. Responses lacking supporting evidence for any Yes/No answers will be deemed incomplete and adversely affect the bid's technical evaluation. The assessment covers critical areas including backup and disaster recovery capabilities, application management standards across development, staging, and production environments, Service Level Agreements per MaineIT's Remote Hosting Policy, data ownership and exportation rights for the State, security plans compliant with NIST requirements, subcontractor safeguards, and cyber risk appetite statements approved by company leadership.
