UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE

Forensic Hardware (Brand Name or Equal) Statement of Work (SOW)

The purpose of this Statement of Requirements (SOR) is to acquire commercial forensic hardware (workstations and other computer components) brand name or equal, on an as needed basis in support of the United States Secret Service (USSS) National Computer Forensics Institute (NCFI).

1. Background

The USSS was established as a law enforcement agency in 1865. While most people associate the USSS with Presidential protection, our original mandate was to investigate the counterfeiting of U.S. currency--which we still do. Today, our primary investigative mission is to safeguard the payment and financial systems of the United States. This has been historically accomplished through the enforcement of the counterfeiting statutes to preserve the integrity of United States currency, coin, and financial obligations. Since 1984, our investigative responsibilities have expanded to include crimes that involve financial institution fraud, computer and telecommunications fraud, false identification documents, access device fraud, advance fee fraud, electronic funds transfers, and money laundering as it relates to our core violations. Today’s high-tech environment presents new challenges to law enforcement as cyber criminals and others increasingly exploit computers and the internet to threaten our banking, financial, and critical infrastructures.

The NCFI provides training to state/local law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges in many areas of digital forensics and cyber investigations. To assist in investigating and prosecuting Law Enforcement cases, the USSS NCFI requires commercial forensic hardware products to support its Congressional mandate. All items are to be brand name or equal.

This is a commercial Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to acquire commercial forensic hardware, on an as needed basis, in support of the NCFI. This IDIQ has a 5-year ordering period.

2. Scope

The contractor shall deliver the following commercial forensic hardware products, brand name or equal, to the NCFI located in Hoover, Alabama:

1. Dell Mobile Precision Workstation 7680 Laptop

2. Dell Mobile Precision Workstation 3490 Laptop

3. Dell Precision 3280 Workstation

4. FCI Forensic Workstation

5. Synology DS1823xs with drives

6. Mission Darkness Blackbox Lab XL

9. 27” Monitor

10. 40” Dell UltraSharp Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor

11. Apple MacBook Air

12. APC by Schneider Electric BR1500G 120V Backup System

Please see the table below for more detailed specifications. Each piece of hardware shall contain the required, brand name or equal items (as appropriate) as listed within the tables in Section 3 of this document. During the course of the contract, ifIf substitutes “or equals” are offered, due to changes in technology, the contractor shall notify the government COR and Contract Specialist in writing via email by providing manufacturer specification sheet(s) for government evaluation and agreement the “or equal” offered is equivalent to the brand name items requested (see paragraph 4.2 for further details regarding this process).

4.4 Place of Delivery:NCFI
Attn: Michael Searcy
2020 Valleydale Road, Suite 209
Hoover, AL 35244

4.5 Within each delivery order issued on the IDIQ, the contractor will be required to coordinate and work closely with the USSS technical point of contact for the duration of the project.

4.6 The USSS technical point of contact will notify the contractor in writing of the acceptance or rejection of each deliverable. The review time by the Government will vary based on the size and complexity of the deliverable. Rejected deliverables shall be returned and corrected by the contractor within ten (10) working days of return receipt from the USSS technical point of contact. To assure success with resolving issues promptly, the Contractor shall provide the Government with a support process (help desk or other such process). Hours of availability shall be at a minimum of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm CST, Monday through Friday.

5. Contract Type and Ordering Procedures.

5.1 Type of Contract: The Government will award a commercial, single or multi-award, IDIQ with an ultimate completion date of 60 months from the date of contract award. This is a firm-fixed price IDIQ with a 5-year ordering period from date of award through 60 months.

5.2 Contract Attachment 3, Approved Pricing Table: This contract attachment establishes the pricing and anticipated delivery order data (across the ordering periods), for each hardware item. This table shall be used when placing delivery orders as it specifies the approved firm fixed price per line item.

5.3 Ordering Procedures: The complete ordering procedures are contained within Contract Attachment 2, Clauses. As stated above, the FFP price per line item is contained within Attachment 3. The initial delivery order may be executed (awarded) at time of the IDIQ award. When executing subsequent delivery orders the government shall supply the contractor the type of hardware being acquired, the quantity of each being acquired, the required dates of delivery and send the draft order to the contractor for review and agreement. Once agreement is received, the Government will award the delivery order and provide the Contractor with the final approved copy to execute deliveries against.

5.3.1 NCFI operates on a trimester system. Class trimesters are from October through January, February through May, and June through September. The following trimester’s course schedule is announced at the beginning of the proceeding trimester. (e.g., October through January’s course schedule is announced in June; February through May’s course schedule is announced in October, etc.). The NCFI COR will coordinate with the vendor 90 days prior to the course start date, to assure ample quantity of the hardware line items are ordered, delivered, and on hand to support the class start date. The governments’ goal is to provide as much advanced notice as possible.

5.3.2 Note: the Government anticipates procuring a a full complement of each hardware line item to support the NCFI Course Schedule by placing an order every 4 months or three times per year at the start of each trimester, dependent on government funding flow. If funding does not flow in this steady fashion, the government may place large orders (April – September) and a number of smaller orders (October – March) to assure the annual needs are met for the calendar year. All orders will be placed IAW FAR 52.216-19 in Attachment 2 of the contract. Regardless if funds flow in a steady or unsteady state, the NCFI goal is to order enough hardware to assure the vendor has 90 days’ notice to meet the required delivery dates. lacing an order three times a year (every four months) in order to obtain the hardware ninety (90) days in advance of the required need date (course scheduled date). The projected quantity in Contract Attachment 3 (Pricing Sheet), divided by three, will be the quantity the NCFI anticipates procuring within each order. Due to the fact Congressional funding does not always come in a steady flow, there is possibility the first six months of the government fiscal year (October through March) the orders will be smaller and then become larger in the last half of the fiscal year.

5.4 Delivery Requirements: All products/services procured through delivery order shall be delivered in accordance with the delivery schedule contained within the order.

5.5 Technology Refresh: If technology evolves over the course of the contract, technology refresh negotiations may occur every 12 months from time of contract award to assure Government receipt of the latest technology.

6. Period of Performance: The delivery date and period of performance will be annotated within the CLIN Structure and the deliverables table contained within delivery order issued.
