About this file
This Request for Quote (RFQ) 75H70426Q00007 is for a Hyperion License Renewal issued by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The solicitation incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Health and Human Services Acquisition Regulation (HHSAR) clauses covering areas such as whistleblower rights, small business set-asides, accessibility requirements, and electronic payment submission. Key technical requirements include IPv6 compatibility, with contractors required to develop systems that can interoperate with both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, and provide IPv6 technical support. The document also mandates strict cybersecurity measures, including anti-virus procedures and scanning all delivered software for malicious code before installation on government systems.
The RFQ includes specific accessibility requirements under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, requiring all information and communication technology (ICT) supplies, products, platforms, and services to comply with Revised 508 Standards. Contractors must submit an HHS Section 508 Accessibility Conformance Checklist or Accessibility Conformance Report and are responsible for remediating any non-compliant technologies at their own expense. Additional requirements cover payment submission through the Department of Treasury Invoice Processing Platform, equal opportunity provisions, and technical support obligations that include potential equipment retrofitting to meet IPv6 standards without additional cost to the government.

IHS Local Clause – Internet Protocol version 6
“The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandates that U.S. federal agencies use the
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). In November 2020, OMB issued memorandum M-21-07
"Completing the Transition to IPv6”, which outlines the Federal government's strategic intent "to deliver its information services, operate its networks, and access the services of others using only
IPv6". The IHS requires all new IT systems (hardware and software) to operate in a pure IPv6 network environment. This includes on-premises services or third-party hosted services that require network integration into the IHS network. The Offeror's solution shall comply with the
IPv6 standards profile as defined by the NIST USGv6 Program: https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program”
(a) Any system hardware, software, firmware and/or networked component (voice, video or data) developed, procured, or acquired in support and/or performance of this contract shall be capable of transmitting, receiving, processing, forwarding and storing digital information across system boundaries utilizing system packets that are formatted in accordance with commercial standards of Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) as set forth in the USGv6 Profile (NIST Special
Publication 500-267) and corresponding declarations of conformance defined in the USGv6 Test
Program. In addition, this system shall maintain interoperability with lPv4 systems and provide at least the same level of performance and reliability capabilities of IPv4 products.
(b) Specifically, any new IP product or system developed, acquired, or produced must:
(1) Interoperate with both lPv6 and IPv4 systems and products, and
(2) Have available Contractor/vendor IPv6 technical support for development and implementation and fielded product management.
(c) As IPv6 evolves, the Contractor commits to upgrading or providing an appropriate migration path for each item developed, delivered or utilized at no additional cost to the Government. The
Contractor shall retrofit all non-IPv6 capable equipment, as defined above that is fielded under this contract with IPv6 capable equipment, at no additional cost to the Government.
(d) The Contractor shall provide technical support for both IPv4 and IPv6.
(e) Any system or software must be able to operate on networks supporting IPv4, lPv6 or one that supports both.
(f) Any product whose non-compliance is discovered and made known to the Contractor within one year after acceptance shall be upgraded, modified or replaced to bring it into compliance at no additional cost to the Government.
IHS Local Clause – Prevention of Malicious Code
(a) Definitions https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program
Malicious code is a computer code developed for the purpose of causing some form of intentional damage to computer systems or networks. Malicious code may be a complete program or code imbedded in software programs that appear to provide useful functions. The term includes computer viruses and other destructive programs, such as "Trojan Horses" and network "worms."
(b) The Contractor must have in place an anti-virus procedure to ensure that media supplied is uncontaminated by malicious code.
(c) The Contractor is required to scan all delivered software to insure it is free of malicious code prior to its installation or operation on Government-owned computers or Contractor-owned computers connected to Government computer systems or networks. Contractors using diagnostics software disks or connecting to a non-Government computer while performing repairs or upgrades to a Government computer will scan the serviced computer's drive(s) to insure they are free of malicious code upon completion of the service call, or prior to return of serviced equipment, if servicing is performed off-site.
