Data items referenced by their CDRL titles shall be performed in accordance with the CDRL of the same name (Reference Attachment A). All data deliverables are to be prepared or updated and delivered in accordance with the corresponding CDRL items specified in this SOW.
In general, the Contractor shall perform in accordance with the documents and other deliverables developed in response to the technical requirements stated in this SOW as approved by the Government. The Contractor shall update as required and submit for approval prior to implementation of any changes.
The Contractor, using Security Sensitive Information Identification Guide (SSIDG) as guidance, shall make recommendations to TSA regarding any data or information the contractor generates, including deliverables and other submission requirements, which should be considered Security Sensitive Information (SSI). Upon approval by the Government, the Contractor shall label any documents containing SSI as defined in 49 CFR Parts 15 and 1520 as follows:
WARNING: This record contains Sensitive Security Information that is controlled under 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520. No part of this record may be disclosed to persons without a “need to know”, as defined in 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520, except with the written permission of the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration or the Secretary of Transportation. Unauthorized release may result in civil penalty or other action. For U.S. government agencies, public disclosure is governed by 5 U.S.C. 552 and 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520.
Electronic versions of the deliverables containing SSI shall be submitted on a secure, password-protected Web site or delivered by email.
The Contractor shall use the following software programs or similar state-of-the-market software that is compatible with TSA software. The following software reflects the minimum standard of compatibility with TSA:
Word Processing Microsoft Word (Version must be compatible with
MS Office Suite 2010) Spreadsheet/Graphs Microsoft Excel (Version must be compatible with
MS Office Suite 2010) Presentations Microsoft PowerPoint (Version must be compatible with MS Office Suite 2010) Databases Microsoft Access (Version must be compatible with MS Office Suite 2010) Scheduling Microsoft Project (Version must be compatible with MS Office Suite 2010)
1.5.5 Preventive Maintenance
PM is scheduled during nonoperational hours or during nonpeak operational hours with approval of local TSA officials. Nonoperational hours must coincide with Airport Operational Hours. If local TSA officials have approved PM during nonpeak hours, then the Contractor shall submit a list to the COR that identifies the location and the TSA official. There are two discrete levels of PM:
Level I PM – This is primarily performed every shift (1–3 times a day), daily, and weekly.
Level I PM is performed without the need to open the machine. These activities are currently performed by TSA personnel and are not a part of this Contract.
Level II PM –is primarily performed every month, quarter, and/or year. These activities are defined in the OEM preventive maintenance manuals and are included under this PBL service level agreement. The Contractor shall ensure that PMs are performed within 30 days (and no greater than 38 days) of the previous PM; and the contractor shall ensure 12 PMs are performed during the calendar year (unless subject to waiver). Contractor shall ensure that technicians notify the local TSA POC or local Coordination Center that the PM is complete and that the system is in service. The Contractor shall recommend adjustments to PM schedules, with supporting rationale, that have the potential to improve TSE reliability or reduce costs without degrading TSE reliability. Cost reductions will be shared between the Contractor and the Government.
Level II PM shall be performed in accordance with the most recent OEM maintenance manual, as well as state and federal environmental and safety regulations. The Contractor shall obtain and utilize OEM PM checklists
In the event a scheduled maintenance activity cannot be completed due to factors outside of the Contractor’s control or the performance of CM prevents the Contractor from completing PM, the Contractor shall reschedule PM on the impacted machines during the same month. If unable to reschedule due to outside factors, the PM shall notify the COR.
In providing Level II PM, the Government requires the Contractor to:
o Coordinate all Level II PM scheduling with local TSA staff.
o The next month’s PM notifications are due to each location (listed in Attachments
D/E ) no later than 7 calendar days prior to the end of the current month.
Notifications shall specify airport code, airport name, manufacturer, model, SN, Barcode, PM due date, and the week PM is scheduled to be performed.
o The Contractor may contact local TSA to conduct the PM on an earlier date than scheduled; however, if the earlier date is not convenient for local TSA this shall not be reflected as a lack of access to the facility and the Contractor shall adhere to the original schedule to perform the PM.
o The Contractor shall coordinate with local TSA staff the week prior to the scheduled week.
o The Contractor shall notify local TSA staff if the scheduled week slips and shall coordinate a new week within the required periodicity.
o A summary level file (airport code, airport name, manufacturer, model, SN, Barcode, PM due date, and the intended week for PM) of all PMs scheduled for the month shall be sent to the TSA COR on the first day of that month.
o Make every effort to schedule PM actions during non-operational hours or non-peak operational hours with approval of local TSA officials. PM shall be scheduled during nonpeak operational hours or during hours that both the Contractor and local TSA officials agree upon. If local TSA officials have approved PM during times other than nonpeak hours, then the Contractor shall submit a list to the COR that identifies the location and the TSA official.
o Provide all required consumables (cleaning supplies, filters, etc.).
o Perform required radiation tests in accordance with applicable regulations on all applicable fielded TSE.
o Record PM actions in local maintenance logbooks provided by local TSA and in the Contractor’s database.
If there is no logbook available at the location, the FST shall notify local TSA at the location. If a logbook is not provided by TSA, the FSTs are not required to wait for the logbook. If the logbooks are not available and local TSA is not present, then the FST will continue with his or her scheduled work. In both cases, the FST will note the non-availability of the logbook in the remarks section of the PM ticket.
If there is no local maintenance logbook available, the Contractor shall record this in the database along with date the PM was conducted.
Entering the date conducted indicates that the FST completed the PM in full on that date according to the applicable OEM checklist.
Completion of PMs shall be provided weekly to the airports.
1.5.6 Corrective Maintenance (CM)
The definition of CM and the associated levels are as follows:
CM consists of unscheduled maintenance activities performed to repair or otherwise restore failed TSE to operational condition. These actions usually expend consumable and repair parts. There are three discrete levels of CM:
Level I CM – This is CM that is performed as needed to effect repairs that do not require trained FSTs (e.g., bag jams, fault resets etc.). These activities are currently performed by TSA personnel or their designees and are not part of this SOW.
Level II CM – This is CM that is performed as needed to effect repairs that always require trained FSTs. These activities are performed on site with the TSE in Level II CM status (which includes slip ring and gantry bearing repair). These services are included under this warranty service agreement. The Contractor shall apply high priority to returning all TSE experiencing critical failures (non-operational) to operational status, whether the failure is relevant or non-relevant, to ensure the expeditious return of TSE not able to perform its assigned mission. In addition, CM services also consist of critical failures that would previously have been characterized as “excepted maintenance.” This includes, but is not limited to, repair after bag jams, liquid spills on TSE, broken parts due to operator misuse, unintentional damage during baggage screening, and other similar damages as a result of operator error. These services are included under this Logistics Support service level agreement.
Level III Depot Maintenance (DM) – This consists of unscheduled corrective maintenance activities performed by trained technicians to repair failed TSE by shipping the TSE end item (vs. component of TSE) back to a Depot. These services would be very rare under this contract and would include major repairs (e.g. bearing replacements) on EDS located in airport locations where it would be difficult to perform repairs. These situations would be approved by the COR and are included under this service level agreement.
1.5.7 Waste Disposal
The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper disposal of any and all equipment or components removed during preventive and corrective maintenance. With the exception of accountable property with a TSA property bar code, all replaced parts that have been removed from the equipment shall become property of the Contractor and the Contractor shall be responsible for removing said parts from the site. The Contractor shall be responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, and coordination of logistics activities to load, transport, and off- load waste materials. The waste materials shall be properly packaged, crated, and prepared for shipment. The Contractor shall, when practicable, take full advantage of reuse, reutilize, and recycle options as the first method of disposition or disposal. The Contractor shall be responsible for proper disposal of any and all hazardous waste in accordance with and as defined by 40 CFR Parts 260, 261, and 263. The Government reserves the right to direct the Contractor to an alternate disposition of removed equipment and components. The contractor shall request disposition of accountable property from the GPM.
1.5.8 Hard Drive Sanitization
TSA information technology assets, including computers, hard drives (including magnetic and solid-state), and media with persistent memory that contain SSI and are determined to be beyond repair capability at the unit location shall be shipped back to the Contractor’s TSA authorized facility for disposal. The item shall be shipped via any traceable means (i.e., tracking number) through a mail or parcel carrier (e.g., U.S. Postal Service, Federal Express) and packaged in a way that does not disclose its contents or the fact that it contains sensitive information (double-wrapped in a non-opaque wrapper) in accordance with Attachment 1 of TSA MD 1400.3, TSA IT Security Handbook. The Contractor shall comply with all data disposition requirements stated in the TSA IT Security Policy Handbook, applicable Technical Standards and TSA MD 3700.4, Handling Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information.
Hard drives that are determined to be beyond repair capability or refurbishment (on-site or at the Contractors depot facility) shall be sanitized of SSI data by TSA at the TSA Springfield Warehouse. The Contractor shall complete Sections I, II and III of the TSA Form 1412 TSA Media Sanitization Certificate dated April 2009 (Attachment 4) for each hard drive and shall email it to the OAPM APO at CtoPropertyManagement@dhs.gov.
