About this file

This document is the Required Specifications for Information Technology contracts for the Massachusetts Operational Services Division. All IT systems and applications developed for or operating within the Massachusetts Access to Government Network (MAGNet) must conform to the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards established by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Technology Services & Security (EOTSS). Non-conforming IT systems require written permission from EOTSS before deployment. Contractors must signal IT system and application design initiatives to EOTSS to ensure compliance with the relevant policies and standards. Failure to deliver conforming IT systems constitutes a breach of contract, and the Commonwealth may require the contractor to re-engineer the non-conforming system at no cost.

The document does not contain pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding details, or other salient information. It focuses solely on the IT security standards and policies that must be adhered to for any IT systems and applications developed for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

OPERATIONAL SERVICES DIVISION

RFR - REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Revised: July 1, 2020

Information Technology. Required for Information Technology contracts. All IT systems and applications developed by or for Executive department agencies or operating within the Massachusetts Access to Government Network (MAGNet) must conform with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards promulgated by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Technology Services & Security (EOTSS). Non-conforming IT systems may not be deployed unless the purchasing agency and their contractor(s) have jointly applied for and received in writing from the Secretary of EOTSS or the Secretary’s designee, notice that a specified deviation will be permitted. The Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards are available at https://www.mass.gov/handbook/enterprise-information-security-policies-and-standards. Additional policies, standards, and requirements that do not conflict with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards may apply and shall be made available to Bidders by the purchasing agency.

Please Note: Given the pace of information technology innovation, purchasing agencies and their contractors are required to contact EOTSS to signal a system or application design and development initiative. Such advance notice helps to ensure conformance with the relevant Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards.

Contractor delivery of IT systems and applications that fail to conform to the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards, absent the Secretary of EOTSS’s grant of written permission for a deviation, shall constitute breach of contract. The Commonwealth may choose to require the contractor, at no cost to the Commonwealth, to re-engineer the non-conforming system for the purpose of bringing it into compliance with Commonwealth Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards.
