IAW DFARS 252.204-7025

78 2 1

Solicitations that require contractors to comply with CMMC certification requirements for handling and safeguarding CUI typically include DFARS 252.204-7021 and -7025. These DFARS are not included in the list of clauses within the solicitation. Will the government update the solicitation to included these DFARS?

Government added DFARS 252.204-7021 and -7025 to Provisions and Clauses attachment, Attachment 2

79 5 2

The DD254 designated the contractor is responsible for handling and safeguarding CUI. How will the government determine that offerors meet the CMMC requirement and is validated during evaluation of proposals?

Mandatory annual online training on how to properly handle and safeguard CUI is required by all government military, civilian and contractor employee personnel.

In cases where SPRS scores are based on contractor self-assessments, how will the Government mitigate the risk of inflated or unsupported representations?

Government will be verifying the Offeror's compliance IAW DFAR 252.204-7025.

Will the Government differentiate between independently validated cybersecurity postures and self-asserted SPRS scores when assessing overall performance risk?

Please see Clause 252.204-7025 in Attachment 2

Will the Government consider an offeror’s existing CMMC Level 2 (Advanced) certification as evidence of independently validated implementation of all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, thereby reducing the need for post-award cybersecurity remediation or reassessment?

Will the Government consider award durability and long-term compliance stability when evaluating offerors with independently validated CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO) certifications?

On Sharepoint and sharedrive file storage systems.

What platform (Learning Management System) is used to display/conduct courses?

Windows-based workstations accessing files, briefs, and training aids, which is then sent electronically to overhead projectors for display on screens at the front of classrooms.

What is the historic average of course updates and course creations annually? 5-10 minor updates to briefings/courseware each year.

Would the government consider travel required by the DADE to be a separate cost reimbursable CLN

No

Please provide the existing curriculum for each of the FM required courses

Offerors shall submit their proposal to meet the requirements of the RFQ and PWS.

What are the seating capacity and number of classrooms available for FM training courses?

Two classrooms with 10 workstations each.

What is the historic number of more than 1 class being conducted at a time?

2-3 times per year a 5-6 month course may be underway when a three-day Recurring training class is being held at the same time. Only one contractor instructor is presenting a briefing at a time, so other instructors can support (provide presentations) of course material to the other class that is also in session.

The PWS states the contactor is responsible for managing and maintaining the computer equipment (hardware & software) and ensure it is fully functional to include program updates, database upgrades, equipment troubleshooting, workstation configuration, script development, maintaining computer access and required functionality. It also directs the contractor with with Computer Support Administrators and other support personnel to manage and maintain equipment functionality. If these computers are part of the AFNET will the contractor have elevated privileged and ALT tokens with administrator access to manage the computer equipment to load, configure hardware and software (database) configuration and to install security patches? Will the contractor have systems administer privileges to add/remove users from the training systems and change the endpoint standard desktop configuration while joined to the AFNET?

No. Over time previous contractor instructors who supported this requirement and had administrative privileges have lost those privileges due to AFNET restrictions. The role has become more of a "coordination" role with local ACOMS (computer help desk) staff who actually handle most hardware/software replacements and updates. ANY of the contractor instructors could likely perform (or share) this coordination role.
