This is a non-personal services contract to provide User Activity Monitoring (UAM) software, engineering support, travel and training for Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRnet) system. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.
1.1 Background: DFAS requires ongoing User Activity Monitoring (UAM) support for Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRnet) system in accordance with the White House Memorandum on National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs, dated November 21, 2012. The capability must also be in compliance with the technical requirements specified in the Committee on National Security Systems Directive (CNSSD) Number 504, (U) Directive on Protecting National Security Systems from Insider Threat dated February 4, 2014, and other Department of Defense (DoD) and Office for the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) directives. UAM is the technical capability to observe and record the actions and activities of an individual, at any time, on any device (does not include mobile devices) accessing U.S. Government information in order to detect insider threats and to support authorized investigations.
1.2 Objective: The objective of this acquisition is for a commercial UAM capability (including software licenses, training, engineering support and travel) for the DFAS networks to monitor and log anomalous user behavior or signature based key indicators accessing network and computer systems/endpoint devices.

DFAS Personnel Security Incident Reporting Requirements, the National Industrial Security Program and Due Process as it Relates to DFAS Contractor Personnel. The National Industrial Security Program (NISP) is a partnership between the federal government and private industry to safeguard classified information and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Executive Order 12829, as amended, "National Industrial Security Program", further amended by Section 6 of E.O. 13691, was established to achieve cost savings and to ensure that industry safeguards the classified information with which it is entrusted while performing work on contracts, programs, bids, or research and development efforts while working for United States Government.
It is important to note that personnel employed as contractors for DFAS are not covered under the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) and are exempt from the provisions of 5 C.F.R. 731. This means that DFAS contractor personnel involved in an incident that potentially violates one or more of the National Security Adjudicative Guidelines found at https://www.dni.gov/files/NCSC/documents/Regulations/SEAD-4-Adjudicative-Guidelines-U.pdf , are not entitled to Due Process rights normally afforded to federal civilian employees and those personnel covered under NISP; more specifically, DFAS Personnel Security may suspend or revoke their access to DFAS IT systems, sensitive information and/or DFAS facilities.
Incident Reporting Requirements.
In all cases, whenever a DFAS contractor displays conduct, or is involved in any incident, which is in violation of any of the thirteen National Security Adjudicative Guidelines*, the contractor must immediately report the incident to the contractor company Security Office/Facility Security Officer, the DFAS Manager of the area to which they are assigned, the COR, and the DFAS Personnel Security Office. Reporting to DFAS Personnel Security may be made by phone to (317) 212-7888, by email to dfas.indianapolis-in.zh.mbx.dfas-inhrsecurity@mail.mil , or, in the case of personnel physically located at DFAS Indianapolis Center, in person to the DFAS Personnel Security Office located on the third floor center hallway at Column 320T.
All incidents will be investigated by DFAS Personnel Security and, depending on the date of the subject’s most recent investigation, may need to have an updated background investigation initiated. Those that do not require a new investigation will have all relevant information regarding the incident forwarded to the Department of Defense, Consolidated Adjudications Facility (DoD-CAF) for review and re-adjudication.
*The thirteen National Security Adjudicative Guidelines are:
| 1. | GUIDELINE A: Allegiance to the United States; |
| 2. | GUIDELINE B: Foreign Influence |
| 3. | GUIDELINE C: Foreign Preference |
| 4. | GUIDELINE D: Sexual Behavior |
| 5. | GUIDELINE E: Personal Conduct |
| 6. | GUIDELINE F: Financial Considerations |
| 7. | GUIDELINE G: Alcohol Consumption |
| 8. | GUIDELINE H: Drug Involvement and Substance Misuse |
| 9. | GUIDELINE I: Psychological Conditions |
| 10. | GUIDELINE J: Criminal Conduct |
| 11. | GUIDELINE K: Handling Protected Information |
| 12. | GUIDELINE L: Outside Activities |
| 13. | GUIDELINE M: Use of Information Technology |
Some Examples of Incidents That Require Reporting to DFAS Personnel Security:
| a. | An arrest for any criminal offense, not including minor traffic violations, by any law enforcement agency. This does include the traffic offenses of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs, and Reckless Driving; |
| b. | Violation of any court order; |
| c. | Delinquencies on any debt for 180 days or longer; |
| d. | Federal, State or Local tax issues or delinquencies;* |

| k. | Ownership of property or financial accounts in a foreign country. |
It should be noted that persons delinquent on Federal debt of any kind may not obtain or maintain favorable personnel security adjudication be considered for a contractor position with DFAS unless they can provide documentary proof that a payment plan has been established with the government agency to whom the debt is owed, and that regularly recurring payments are being made. Contractor personnel who cannot obtain and maintain a favorable personnel security adjudication may not have access to the government data, facility, and equipment required under the contract.
NOTE: This list does not cover every potential incident or offense; any incident in which a contractor is involved and a question exists as to whether it should be reported, should report the incident to DFAS Personnel Security, who will then determine if further action is warranted. Failure to report an incident is, in and of itself, an incident involving personal conduct, and may, in some cases, be more serious than the original incident.
