If the vendor is to provide monitoring services, the station will provide FWS-OEMPS an alarm zone data sheet obtained from the commercial monitoring company prior to acceptance of the system. Commercial monitoring may not be connected via ethernet to the FWS network and will therefore require a separate internet connection or a POTS line.

The Government may request the system be programmed to auto-arm daily (TBD).

The IDS control panel and associated power distribution hardware will be located within the Closet Storage Room of the Headquarters Building. This location must be properly ventilated to ensure appropriate cooling of electronics.

Section 2.0 – Cybersecurity Incident Response A. Applicability

This term applies to the Contractor, its subcontractors, and Contractor employees (hereafter referred to collectively as “Contractor”). The Contractor shall use these terms in all subcontracts.

B. Definitions.

DOI Baseline Compliance Contract Guidelines 7 | Page

As used in this term-

“Incident” means an occurrence that

1. actually or imminently jeopardizes, without lawful authority, the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information or an information system; or

2. constitutes a violation or imminent threat of violation of law, security policies, security procedures, or acceptable use policies.

C. Requirements All Contractor employees and information system service providers shall be responsible for recognizing and reporting security incidents. Information system service providers shall receive the current version of the DOI Incident Response Plan, Policy, and Handbook at the time of award, in addition to bureau- or office-specific guidance for appropriate reporting and response at all levels. All suspected or confirmed information security incidents shall be reported in accordance with the requirements listed below, even if it is believed the incident may be limited, small, or insignificant. For hosting environments, including cloud systems and services, this includes incidents occurring on the service provider’s underlying infrastructure supporting containers utilized by the Department. In such cases, the vendor’s primary security operations and/or incident response unity shall engage directly with the DOI Cyber Security Operations (CSO) Section and provide DOI CSO with security and event logs covering the period of the incident and up to six months prior. The DOI CSO and Bureau or Office Incident Response Teams will determine when an incident requires additional focus and attention.

All Contractor employees and information system service providers shall report all information security incidents to the appropriate Bureau or Office Incident Response Team and to the DOI Computer Incident Response Center (DOI CIRC) immediately, no later than 1 hour after “becoming aware of the incident,” at DOICIRC@ios.doi.gov, (703) 648-5655, regardless of day or time. Any contractor action to investigate, identify, respond to, contain, remediate, or recover from a security event (which includes “suspected” incidents) constitutes “becoming aware of the incident.”

When notifying the DOI CIRC and the appropriate Bureau or Office Incident Response Team, the Contractor shall include the CO and COR on the correspondence email to DOICIRC@ios.doi.gov and the appropriate Bureau or Office Incident Response Team. If the Contractor reported the incident by phone, then immediately following the reporting, the Contractor shall notify the CO and COR via e-mail. The Contractor is responsible for verifying that all notification was received and acknowledged by the CO or COR. If the Contractor has any questions regarding these procedures, they shall contact the CO or the COR.

The Contractor shall not include any controlled information in the subject or body of any e-mail.

Contractor shall transmit controlled information using validated encryption methods compliant with the current NIST FIPS 140 version to protect controlled information in e-mail attachments.

Passwords must not be communicated in the same email as the attachment. Contractor shall contact the CO or COR if encryption software is needed for guidance on appropriate, federally approved encryption methods.

Section 3.0 – Privacy Requirements A. Applicability.

This term applies to the Contractor, its subcontractors, and Contractor employees (hereafter referred to collectively as “Contractor”). The Contractor shall use these terms in all subcontracts.

B. Definitions.

As used in this term-

Breach: the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, or any similar occurrence where (1) a person other than an authorized user accesses or potentially accesses PII or (2) an authorized user accesses or potentially accesses PII for an other-than-authorized purpose.

1. PII - information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.

2. Sensitive PII (SPII) is a subset of PII that, if lost, compromised, or disclosed without authorization could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. SPII is CUI and requires additional controls and safeguards to protect the privacy of individuals. Sensitivity of PII may depend on specific PII elements, groupings of PII, context or use of PII, or requirements under applicable federal laws, regulations, and policy such as the Privacy Act of 1974 and the CUI Rule. SPII includes but is not limited to full or truncated Social Security Number (SSN), driver's license or state identification number; financial account number; date of birth; citizenship; ethnic or religious affiliation; biometric identifiers such as fingerprint, voiceprint, or iris scan; medical information; criminal history; and system authentication information such as passwords, personal identification numbers or mother's maiden name.

C. Privacy Act Requirements The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 and shall not remove PII or Privacy Act material from government facilities or systems, or facilities or systems operated or maintained on the government’s behalf, without the express written permission of the Head of the Contracting Activity. When Privacy Act records, information, data, documentary material, and equipment is no longer required, the Contractor shall return it to the Department’s control or hold it until otherwise directed. Items returned to the government shall be hand carried, mailed, emailed, or securely electronically transmitted to the CO.

D. Privacy Controls The Contractor shall meet the privacy requirements of the E-Government Act, FISMA, applicable federal privacy laws, NIST, OMB, and DOI (including but not limited to those listed in the contract table of authorities) for the collection, handling, processing, and sharing of PII, and ensure compliance with the privacy controls requirements of NIST SP 800- 53, FIPS 199, DOI Baseline Compliance Contract Guidelines 9 | Page

FIPS 200, and DOI Privacy Control standards as appropriate for the sensitivity of the system.
