1.INFORMATIONFORORDERINGACTIVITIES

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage! on-line shopping service (www.fss.gsa.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered bysmall business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

AUTHENTICATION PRODUCTS ANDSERVICES (MAY 2006) (C-FCI-007)

A. General Background.

Authentication Products and Services provide for authentication of individuals for purposes of physical and logical access control, electronic signature, performance of E-business transactions and delivery of Government services. Authentication Products and Services consist of hardware, software components and supporting services that provide for identity assurance.

Homeland SecurityPresidentialDirective 12(HSPD-12), ―Policyfora CommonIdentification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractorsǁ establishes the requirement for a mandatory Government -wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification issued bythe Federal Government to its employees and contractor employees assigned to Government contracts in order to enhance security, increase Government efficiency, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal privacy. Further, the Directive requires the Department of Commerce to promulgate a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification within six months of the date of the Directive. As a result, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201: Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors on February 25, 2005. FIPS 201 requires that the digital certificates incorporated into the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) identity credentials comply with the X.509 Certificate Policy for the U.S. Federal PKI Common Policy Framework. In addition, FIPS

201 requires that Federal identity badges referred to as PIV credentials, issued to Federal employees and contractors comply with the Standard and associated NIST Special Publications 800-73, 800-76, 800-78, and 800-79.

B. Special Item Numbers.

The General Services Administration has established the E-Authentication Initiative (see URL:

http://cio.gov/eauthentication ) to provide common infrastructure for the authentication of the public and internal federal users for logical access to Federal E-Government applications and electronic services. To support the government -wide implementation of HSPD-12 and the Federal E-Authentication Initiative, GSA is establishing the following Special Item Numbers (SINs): 541519PIV PIV enrollment and registration services, PIVsystems infrastructure, PIV card management and production services, PIV card finalization services, Physical access control products and services, Logical access control products and services, PIV system integration services, and Approved FIPS 201-Compliant products and services.

C. Qualification Information.

All of the products and services for the SINs listed above must be qualified as being compliant with Government -wide requirements before they will be included on a GSA Information Technology (IT) Schedule contract. The Qualification Requirements and associated evaluation procedures against the Qualification Requirements for each SIN and the specific Qualification Requirements for HSPD-12 implementation components are presented at the following URL: http//:www.idmanagement.gov. In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has established the NIST Personal Identity Verification Program (NPIVP) to evaluate integrated circuit chip cards and products against conformance requirements contained in FIPS 201. GSA has established the FIPS 201Evaluation Program to evaluate other products needed for agency implementation of HSPD-12 requirements where normative requirements are specified in FIPS 201 and to perform card and reader interface testing for interoperability. Products that are approved as FIPS-201 compliant through these evaluation and testing programs may be offered directly through SIN 132-62 under the category ―ApprovedFIPS201-CompliantProductsandservices.

D. Qualification Requirements.

Offerors proposing products and services under Special Item Numbers (SINs) 132-62 are required to provide the following:

1. Proposed items must be determined to be compliant with Federal requirements for that Special Item Number. Qualification Requirements and procedures for the evaluation of products and services are posted at the URL: http://www.idmanagement.gov . GSA will follow these procedures in qualifying offeror’s products and services against the Qualification Requirements for applicable to SIN. Offerors are encouraged to submit a proposal under the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Information Technology (IT) solicitation at the same time they submits products and services to be qualified. Award for SIN 132-62 will be dependent upon receipt of official documentation from the Acquisition Program Management Office (APMO) listed below verifying satisfactory qualification against the Qualification Requirements of the proposedSIN(s).

2. After award, Contractor agrees that certified products and services will not be offered under any other SIN on any GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

3. a. If the Contractor changes the products or services previously qualified, GSA may require the contractor to resubmit the products or services for re-qualification.

b. If the Federal Government changes the qualification requirements or standards, Contractor must resubmit the products and services for re-qualification.
