INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES

SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES:

Small Business Participation

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) contains information on a broad array of products and services offered by small 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, ordering activities are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

1. GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF CONTRACT:

The geographic scope of the contract is Domestic delivery within the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC and U.S. territories. Domestic delivery also includes a port or consolidation point within the aforementioned areas, for orders received from overseas activities.

The scope of this SIN is limited to cloud capabilities provided entirely as a service. Hardware, software and other artifacts supporting the physical construction of a private or other cloud are out of scope for this SIN. Currently, an Ordering Activity can procure the hardware and software needed to build on premise cloud functionality, through combining different services on other IT

Schedule 70 SINs (e.g. 132-51).

2. END USER LICENSE AGREEMENTS (EULA) / TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS)

AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS

Paladin will provide all End User Agreements for Ordering Activity’s signature. The provided agreements will have been approved by GSA legal.

3. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR

Any additional substantial and ongoing professional services related to the offering such as integration, migration, and other cloud professional services are out of scope for this SIN.

e. Performance of Cloud Computing Services

The Contractor shall respond to Ordering Activity requirements at the Task Order level with proposed capabilities to Ordering Activity performance specifications or indicate that only standard specifications are offered. In all cases the Contractor shall clearly indicate standard service levels, performance and scale capabilities.

The Contractor shall provide appropriate cloud computing services on the date and to the extent and scope agreed to by the Contractor and the Ordering Activity.

f. Reporting

The Contractor shall respond to Ordering Activity requirements and specify general reporting capabilities available for the Ordering Activity to verify performance, cost and availability.

In accordance with commercial practices, the Contractor may furnish the Ordering Activity/user with a monthly summary Ordering Activity report.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ORDERING ACTIVITY

The Ordering Activity is responsible for indicating the cloud computing services requirements unique to the Ordering Activity. Additional requirements should not contradict existing SIN or IT

Schedule 70 Terms and Conditions. Ordering Activities should include (as applicable) Terms &

Conditions to address Pricing, Security, Data Ownership, Geographic Restrictions, Privacy, SLAs, etc.

Cloud services typically operate under a shared responsibility model, with some responsibilities assigned to the Cloud Service Provider (CSP), some assigned to the Ordering Activity, and others shared between the two. The distribution of responsibilities will vary between providers and across service models. Ordering activities should engage with CSPs to fully understand and evaluate the shared responsibility model proposed. Federal Risk and Authorization Management

Program (FedRAMP) documentation will be helpful regarding the security aspects of shared responsibilities, but operational aspects may require additional discussion with the provider.

a. Ordering Activity Information Assurance/Security Requirements Guidance

The Contractor must be capable of meeting at least the minimum security requirements assigned against a low-impact information system in each CIA assessment area (per FIPS 200) and must detail the FISMA capabilities of the system in each of CIA assessment area.

iii. Agency level FISMA certification, accreditation, and evaluation activities are the responsibility of the Ordering Activity. The Ordering Activity reserves the right to independently evaluate, audit, and verify the FISMA compliance for any proposed or awarded Cloud Computing Services.

iv. The Ordering Activity has final responsibility for assessing the FedRAMP status of the service, complying with and making a risk-based decision to grant an Authorization to Operate (ATO) for the cloud computing service, and continuous monitoring. A memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on Dec 8, 2011 outlines the responsibilities of Executive departments and agencies in the context of FedRAMP compliance. 2

v. Ordering activities are responsible for determining any additional information assurance and security related requirements based on the nature of the application and relevant mandates.

e. Performance of Cloud Computing Services

The Ordering Activity should clearly indicate any custom minimum service levels, performance and scale requirements as part of the initial requirement.

Information and Information Systems”) (FIPS 200, “Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems”) 2 MEMORANDUM FOR CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICERS: Security Authorization of Information Systems in Cloud Computing

Environments. December 8, 2011.

f. Reporting

The Ordering Activity should clearly indicate any cost, performance or availability reporting as part of the initial requirement.

g. Privacy

The Ordering Activity should specify the privacy characteristics of their service and engage with the Contractor to determine if the cloud service is capable of meeting Ordering Activity requirements. For example, a requirement could be requiring assurance that the service is capable of safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII), in accordance with NIST SP 800-1223 and OMB memos M-06-164 and M07-165. An Ordering Activity will determine what data elements constitute PII according to OMB Policy, NIST Guidance and Ordering Activity policy.

h. Accessibility

The Ordering Activity should specify the accessibility characteristics of their service and engage with the Contractor to determine the cloud service is capable of meeting Ordering Activity requirements. For example, a requirement could require assurance that the service is capable of providing accessibility based on Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d).

i. Geographic Requirements

Ordering activities are responsible for specifying any geographic requirements and engaging with the Contractor to determine that the cloud services offered have the capabilities to meet geographic requirements for all anticipated task orders. Common geographic concerns could include whether service data, processes and related artifacts can be confined on request to the

United States and its territories, or the continental United States (CONUS).

j. Data Ownership and Retrieval and Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights are not typically transferred in a cloud model. In general, CSPs retain ownership of the Intellectual Property (IP) underlying their services and the customer retains ownership of its intellectual property. The CSP gives the customer a license to use the cloud services for the duration of the contract without transferring rights. The government retains ownership of the IP and data they bring to the customized use of the service as spelled out in the

FAR and related materials.

General considerations of data ownership and retrieval are covered under the terms of Schedule 70 and the FAR and other laws, ordinances, and regulations (Federal, State, City, or otherwise).

Because of considerations arising from cloud shared responsibility models, ordering activities should engage with the Contractor to develop more cloud-specific understandings of the boundaries between data owned by the government and that owned by the cloud service provider, and the specific terms of data retrieval.

In all cases, the Ordering Activity should enter into an agreement with a clear and enforceable understanding of the boundaries between government and cloud service provider data, and the form, format and mode of delivery for each kind of data belonging to the government.

14 Paladin Data Systems Corporation

The Ordering Activity should expect that the Contractor shall transfer data to the government at the government's request at any time, and in all cases when the service or order is terminated for any reason, by means, in formats and within a scope clearly understood at the initiation of the service. Example cases that might require clarification include status and mode of delivery for:

• Configuration information created by the government and affecting the government’s use of the cloud provider’s service.

• Virtual machine configurations created by the government but operating on the cloud provider’s service.

• Profile, configuration and other metadata used to configure SaaS application services or PaaS platform services.

The key is to determine in advance the ownership of classes of data and the means by which

Government owned data can be returned to the Government.

k. Service Location Distribution

The Ordering Activity should determine requirements for continuity of operations and performance and engage with the Contractor to ensure that cloud services have adequate service location distribution to meet anticipated requirements. Typical concerns include ensuring that:

• Physical locations underlying the cloud are numerous enough to provide continuity of operations and geographically separate enough to avoid an anticipated single point of failure within the scope of anticipated emergency events.

• Service endpoints for the cloud are able to meet anticipated performance requirements in terms of geographic proximity to service requestors.

Note that cloud providers may address concerns in the form of minimum distance between service locations, general regions where service locations are available, etc.

l. Related Professional Services

Ordering activities should engage with Contractors to discuss the availability of limited assistance with initial setup, training and access to the services that may be available through this SIN.

Any additional substantial and ongoing professional services related to the offering such as integration, migration, and other cloud professional services are out of scope for this SIN.

Ordering activities should consult the appropriate GSA professional services schedule.
