About this file
This is a required specifications document issued by the Massachusetts Operational Services Division for Information Technology contracts. The document applies to all IT systems and applications developed by or for Executive department agencies operating within the Massachusetts Access to Government Network (MAGNet), and is relevant to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's solicitation for an allowance tracking system solution.
All IT systems and applications 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 systems cannot be deployed unless the purchasing agency and contractor jointly obtain written permission from the Secretary of EOTSS or designee authorizing a specified deviation. Purchasing agencies and contractors are required to contact EOTSS in advance to signal any system or application design and development initiative to ensure conformance with relevant security policies and standards. Failure to deliver IT systems that conform to Commonwealth Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards, absent written permission for deviation, constitutes a breach of contract. The Commonwealth reserves the right to require the contractor, at no cost to the Commonwealth, to re-engineer non-conforming systems to achieve compliance. Additional policies, standards, and requirements that do not conflict with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards may apply and will be provided to bidders by the purchasing agency. The Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards are available at https://www.mass.gov/handbook/enterprise-information-security-policies-and-standards.

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.
