1 General
This is a non-personal services contract to provide Project Manager, Intelligence Systems & Analytics (PM IS&A) Cybersecurity Support Services. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) covers activities supporting cybersecurity systems engineering, assessment and authorization, field service engineer, and other management support services necessary to accomplish the missions and goals. 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 Description of Services/Introduction
The Contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Cybersecurity Support Services as defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.
1.2 Background
PM IS&A falls under Program Executive Office – Intelligence Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S). PM IS&A is headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) with product line support offices located at Ft. Hood, TX and Ft. Belvoir, VA.
The Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) program was created in response to the Department of Defense (DoD) Distributed Common Ground/Surface System (DCG/SS) Mission Area Initial Capabilities Document (MA ICD), which captured the overarching requirements for an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Family of Systems (FoS) that will contribute to Joint and combined Warfighter needs. The MA ICD has since been updated to an Enterprise ICD. Based on evolving mission, in May 2020, PM DCGS-A was officially renamed to PM IS&A.
PM IS&A FoS (Tactical Intelligence and Targeting Access Node (TITAN), Intel Apps, DCGS- A, Capability Drop 1 & 2 (CD1, CD2) will facilitate seeing and knowing on the battlefield. PM IS&A FoS contribute to visualization and situational awareness (SA), thereby enhancing tactical maneuver, maximizing combat power and enhancing the ability to operate in an unpredictable and changing environment. It will facilitate the rapid planning, execution, and synchronization of all war fighting functions resulting in the ability to operate within the enemy’s decision cycle.
PM IS&A’s portfolio is executing a pivot to modernization investments and alignment to Multi Domain Objectives (MDO) with TITAN and Intel Apps programs while sustaining legacy efforts such as DCGS-A, CD1 and CD2.
DCGS-A is the Army’s primary system for tasking, processing, exploitation and dissemination (TPED) at all echelons of multi-sensor intelligence and weather information to the Warfighter. It is deployed worldwide in support of intelligence operations, including all Theaters of Operations.
TITAN is envisioned to be the future Army ISR data processing ground station that will consolidate the sensor processing capabilities in the current DCGS-A Operational-Intelligence Ground Station (OGS), Tactical-Intelligence Ground Station (TGS), the Advanced Miniaturized Data Acquisition System Dissemination Vehicle (ADV) and the Remote Ground Terminal
(RGT).
Intel Apps is the next generation of the Army Intelligence Software (AIS) functions and capabilities that will replace select DCGS-A/IS&A capabilities, synchronized with the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE). Intel Apps provides a software-centric AIS program that will provide software capability in support of the Multi-Domain Intelligence (MDI) Framework, Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), and Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO).
PM IS&A continues to provide enhanced capabilities to the warfighter. These enhancements, which replac the existing baseline capabilities, are provided through incremental Capability Drops leveraging the latest Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) technologies.
PM IS&A capabilities operate on multiple network domains that include the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), National Security Agency Network (NSANet), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), Coalition Networks, and Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet). DCGS-A also requires Cross Domain Solution Suite(s) (CDSS) to seamlessly receive source information and rapidly disseminate data and products to the warfighters at the various security classification enclaves. It is imperative that systems are developed, integrated, and certified in prescribed ways compliant with the respective network domain security and protection requirements, and their required assessment and authorization processes.
1.3 Objectives
This PWS covers activities supporting cybersecurity services for systems engineering, assessment and authorization, field service engineers, and other management support services necessary to accomplish the missions and goals of PM IS&A.
The Cybersecurity services will support PM IS&A as they support the Army’s and the larger ISR communities in the execution of their intelligence missions collaborating with National Agencies, all Major Commands, Coalition Forces, and Joint Service organizations. The PM provides technical support / interaction with the system software teams to ensure the required accreditation policies and procedures are adhered to as the systems / software are developed, fielded, and sustained. Additionally, the PM security team reviews and ensures all security documentation is accurate and meets the Raise the Bar (RTB) Standards and Risk Management Framework policies which support a successful accreditation event for each system.
PM IS&A is also responsible to deliver RTB compliant cross domain security (CDS) systems, and compliant system software. These cybersecurity services will support these efforts and include interaction with the user units, preliminary system testing, software maintenance, security test procedures, collaboration with the CDS vendor(s), the installation/configuration of system software, and accreditation test support.
1.4 Scope
This PWS establishes the support and service requirements for PM IS&A Cybersecurity Support Services activities. The Contractor shall provide Cybersecurity support and services for System Security Engineering, Cloud Security Engineering, Assessment and Authorization (A&A), and Cybersecurity Field Service Engineer (FSE). Cybersecurity support and services include, but are not limited to, analyze, access, integrate, document, enhance, improve, modernize, implement, test, monitor, sustain, and maintain PM IS&A cybersecurity posture and capabilities. It includes all cyber domain activities in order to ensure process efficiencies, standard compliance, and interoperability.
These services and support will apply to the PM IS&A Family of Systems that require an accreditation to operate on a classified network or in support of a classified event to include but not limited to exercises, real world missions, test events, demonstrations, etc. PM IS&A provides classified intelligence systems which require accreditations that must be maintained and which the PM is responsible to provide oversight / validation of as the Life Cycle Manager.
Additionally, interaction and collaboration with vendors, user units, MACOMs, staff and DA elements may be required in order to explain a security requirement, system configuration, or path forward in support of a PM system or activity.

1.6.2.7 Special Requirement when performance is in Theatre
1. Special Contract Requirements
a. Definitions:
“Discrimination” includes discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex.
“Sexual Assault” is a crime defined as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, physical threat or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. Sexual assault includes rape, nonconsensual sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault (unwanted, inappropriate sexual contact or fondling), or attempts to commit these acts. Sexual assault can occur without regard to gender or spousal relationship or age of victim.
“Consent” will not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the victim to offer physical resistance. Consent is not given when a person uses force, threat of force, or coercion or when the victim is asleep, incapacitated, or unconscious.
“Sexual Harassment” is a form of sex discrimination that involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
(1) Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of a person's job, pay, or career, or
(2) Submission to or rejection of such conduct by a person is used as a basis for career or employment decisions affecting that person, or
(3) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. This definition emphasizes that workplace conduct, to be actionable as "abusive work environment" harassment, need not result in concrete psychological harm to the victim, but rather need only be so severe or pervasive that a reasonable person would perceive, and the victim does perceive, the work environment as hostile or offensive. Any person in a supervisory or command position who uses or condones any form of sexual behavior to control, influence, or affect the career, pay, or job of an employee is engaging in sexual harassment. Similarly, any employee who makes deliberate or repeated unwelcome verbal comments, gestures, or physical contact of a sexual nature in the workplace is also engaging in sexual harassment.

(b) The Contractor is encouraged to resolve issues and concerns affecting discipline, appearance, conduct and courtesy in order to maintain good order and discipline and promote a positive work environment. The Contractor shall:
(1) Ensure employees are aware of their right to file a complaint of discrimination with their Human Resources office, the Contractor’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Manager if any, and/or directly to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
(2) Ensure employees are aware that they can report discrimination to the KO, however a complaint of harassment can only be filed with the entities listed in paragraph 2b(1) above.
(3) Upon learning of an alleged (or actual) sexual assault, sexual harassment, hostile or abusive conduct, the Contractor shall immediately contact the Provost Marshal and follow-up with a Serious Incident Report in accordance with CDRL A002 and Army Regulation (AR) 190-40.
