Attachment 004: IT Requirements RRMB – Healthcare Delivery Services
Information Technology Requirements
APPLICABILITY
All information systems deployed within the BOP, or on behalf of BOP to include contractor built and operated on-prem, private cloud systems, or government cloud, must be developed to include support for the standards detailed in this section to the greatest extent possible regardless of whether the system is connected to the BOP's administrative network (BOPNet). All systems will be evaluated prior to acquisition and/or deployment to determine that each system supports the technical standards contained in this section. Approval to connect to BOPNet will not be granted to any system that cannot support these standards unless a waiver has been granted by the
CIO.
Additionally, all systems must acquire an Authority to Operate (ATO) prior to use, and an Authority to Test (ATT) prior to system testing. Testing will not leverage live data (must use data created for the sole purpose of verifying functional capability and contain neither BOP nor BOP user information). A pilot, if needed, will also be performed without the use of live data. All the system environments, including development, test, quality assurance, integration, production, and any other environment related to the system, must reside within the authorization boundary.
IDENTIFICATION, AUTHENTICATION, AND AUTHORIZATION
In conformance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), all information systems shall use a centralized directory for identification, authentication, and authorization to control, provision, and de-provision access to those systems. All information systems must be capable of supporting Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP v3 or successor). Systems that cannot support either a BOP directory service or DOJ federated service and require the management of a separate credential store for identification, authentication, and authorization are prohibited.
Each system user must be uniquely identified. Access to information must be controlled using a “Least Privilege” role- or assignment-based methodology that provides the user with only the information and access required to perform his/her duties and nothing more. Systems must be capable of tiered-role privileges that distinguish between users and administrators and their authorized functions.
CLOUD SERVICES
Any system that will connect to or be hosted in a non-BOP cloud service must use cloud service providers (CSP) that have been independently evaluated by an authorized FedRAMP 3PAO and are FedRAMP-certified, and the CSP has provided the most current System Security Plan (SSP), Control Implementation Summary (CIS), Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM), Security Assessment Report (SAR), and list of any open Plans of Actions and Milestones (POAMs) to the BOP CISO for consideration, and has received an ATO from the BOP Authorizing Official (AO).
MEDICAL SYSTEMS
Medical systems must comply with standards published by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in regards to data access, storage, and reporting.
PRIVACY AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT
All systems must be evaluated prior to ATT or ATO for privacy and records management requirements. An Initial Privacy Assessment (IPA) must be completed and if BOP Privacy and Records Management Branch, and DOJ Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties (OPCL) determines that the system collects, processes, stores or disseminates personally identifiable information (PII), a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) must be done to evaluate the impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data. If required, the Office of General Counsel (OGC) will prepare a System of Records Notice (SORN) to be published in the federal register prior to system’s use. All systems must complete a Records and Information Management Certification (RIMCert) evaluation regardless of PII status.
Contractor should be aware, for planning purposes, that the current BOP ATO process can take 6 to 18 months to complete. The length of this time is dependent on the outcome of the IPA for the system.
SYSTEM INTERCONNECTIONS
DOJ requires that Components must identify all system interconnections, both external and internal to DOJ. A system interconnection is defined as the direct connection of two or more IT systems for the purpose of sharing data and other information resources. All interconnections from one information system to another system outside of the respective accreditation boundaries must have an approved Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA), and optionally a Memorandum of Understanding/Agreements (MOU/A). Both parties must mutually agree on terms and conditions and define expiration requirements or timelines. The agreements define how security will be maintained for the interconnection during its operation. Information systems are only permitted to interconnect with systems that have undergone a system authorization and have a current Authorization to Operate (ATO). If the Authorizing Official (AO) is the same for both interconnecting systems, an ISA or MOU/A are not required.
PROJECT AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
The contractor shall provide the planning, direction, coordination and control necessary to accomplish all project phases. The contractor shall designate a Project Manager (key personnel) who is responsible for the cost, schedule, and technical performance of the contract and who will serve as the Contracting Officer’s central point of contact with the government. The Project Manager is not required to be full-time.
Kick-Off Meeting
The contractor shall attend a kick-off meeting between BOP designated staff and the contractor team to discuss approach, policies, and procedure. The contractor shall provide a briefing on their technical approach for accomplishing results that meet the objectives of this task order to the Project Stakeholders.
Project Plan
The contractor shall provide a Project Plan that describes the technical approach, project personnel roles, organizational structure, available resources and management controls to be employed to meet the cost (monthly planned cost and hours for the period of performance), performance, schedule and milestones, communications, and quality requirements throughout the contract execution. The contractor must periodically update this Project Plan if there are any major changes in the work and/or schedule as bilaterally agreed to by the contractor and BOP. The contractor must deliver a draft Project Plan within five (5) days after the kick-off meeting. The final Project Plan shall be due within ten (10) days after BOP review and comments.
Project Schedule
Within the Project Plan, the contractor shall provide a Project Schedule for all tasks assigned under this contract and in line with the agile development approach. The contractor Project Manager shall ensure that the Project Schedule is developed and presented to the BOP Project Manager/Contracting Officer Representative (COR) as part of the Project Plan. The Project Schedule shall identify all tasks, resources, and schedule. The Project Schedule shall become the schedule for the task and shall be maintained and updated weekly by the contractor for the duration of the contract/task to show progress completed, and must be based on a rolling wave approach to suit agile development. Tasks must have a short enough duration to update the project schedule on a weekly basis.
Progress Reports
The contractor shall provide written progress reports on a weekly and monthly basis for the duration of the project. These reports will be emailed to the COR. The Weekly Progress Report shall cover all work completed during the previous week and shall present the work to be accomplished during the subsequent week. The Weekly Progress Report shall be between one (1) and three (3) pages in length. The Monthly Progress Report shall be a summary of the prior 30 days’ work and the subsequent 30 days’ work to be accomplished. The Monthly Progress Report shall be no longer than ten (10) pages in length. These reports shall also identify any problems that arose and a statement explaining how the problem was resolved. These reports shall also identify any problems that have arisen but have not been completely resolved and provide an explanation. Additionally, status updates shall be provided during bi-weekly project status meetings.
Meetings/Meeting Minutes
The contractor shall provide administrative and technical support for meetings as required. The contractor shall coordinate scheduling and meeting notifications if required. The contractor shall prepare and provide briefing slides, handouts, agendas, meeting minutes, and other supplementary materials as required.
Contractor Information System Security Officer (ISSO) The contractor is required to have one or more persons dedicated to assisting the BOP in meeting any necessary information security and security remediation requirements related to the system, for the duration of the contract.
Contractor Background Clearances
All contractors must comply with DOJ/BOP background clearance requirements before being permitted to do any work under a BOP contract. Contractors working remotely for the BOP will be issued contractor user accounts and PIV cards. Contractors will be required to use government furnished equipment (computers) to access the BOP network. To prevent loss of BOP data, all email communications between contractor personnel and BOP personnel must be conducted using the BOP’s email system. All virtual meetings between contractor personnel and BOP personnel must be conducted using the BOP’s collaboration/meeting system(s).
