This document is a FISMA 18-Point Checklist for IT Security Guidelines from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisition and Grants, dated December 14, 2022. The checklist provides comprehensive security requirements for contractors working with USGS IT systems, covering scenarios involving COTS hardware/software, custom application development, and on-site IT support services. Key security requirements include background investigations, non-disclosure agreements, employee training, personnel change notifications, security categorization, property rights, independent verification and validation, certification and accreditation, quality control, self-assessment, vulnerability analysis, security controls, and contingency planning.

The document mandates strict protocols for contractors, such as requiring employees to complete end-user computer security awareness training, signing non-disclosure agreements, immediately reporting personnel changes, conducting annual self-assessments, and ensuring all software and hardware are free of malicious code. Contractors must comply with various federal standards including NIST SP 800-64, DOI System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Security Integration Guide, and FIPS 199. The checklist also specifies requirements for different access levels, from basic network access to custom application development, and includes provisions for international work, emphasizing the protection of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
