SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation

SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Acquisition Service. 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.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage! and the Federal Acquisition Service Home Page (www.gsa.gov/fas) contain 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, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

b. When acquired by the ordering activity, commercial computer software and related documentation so legend shall be subject to the following:

(1) Title to and ownership of the software and documentation shall remain with the Contractor, unless otherwise specified.

(2) Software licenses are by site and by ordering activity. An ordering activity is defined as a cabinet level or independent ordering activity. The software may be used by any subdivision of the ordering activity (service, bureau, division, command, etc.) that has access to the site the software is placed at, even if the subdivision did not participate in the acquisition of the software. Further, the software may be used on a sharing basis where multiple agencies have joint projects that can be satisfied by the use of the software placed at one ordering activity's site. This would allow other agencies access to one ordering activity's database. For ordering activity public domain databases, user agencies and third parties may use the computer program to enter, retrieve, analyze and present data. The user ordering activity will take appropriate action by instruction, agreement, or otherwise, to protect the Contractor's proprietary property with any third parties that are permitted access to the computer programs and documentation in connection with the user ordering activity's permitted use of the computer programs and documentation. For purposes of this section, all such permitted third parties shall be deemed agents of the user ordering activity.

(3) Except as is provided in paragraph 8.b(2) above, the ordering activity shall not provide or otherwise make available the software or documentation, or any portion thereof, in any form, to any third party without the prior written approval of the Contractor. Third parties do not include prime Contractors, subcontractors and agents of the ordering activity who have the ordering activity's permission to use the licensed software and documentation at the facility, and who have agreed to use the licensed software and documentation only in accordance with these restrictions. This provision does not limit the right of the ordering activity to use software, documentation, or information therein, which the ordering activity may already have or obtains without restrictions.

(4) The ordering activity shall have the right to use the computer software and documentation with the computer for which it is acquired at any other facility to which that computer may be transferred, or in cases of Disaster Recovery, the ordering activity has the right to transfer the software to another site if the ordering activity site for which it is acquired is deemed to be unsafe for ordering activity personnel; to use the computer software and documentation with a backup computer when the primary computer is inoperative; to copy computer programs for safekeeping (archives) or backup purposes; to transfer a copy of the software to another site for purposes of benchmarking new hardware and/or software; and to modify the software and documentation or combine it with other software, provided that the unmodified portions shall remain subject to these restrictions.

(5) "Commercial Computer Software" may be marked with the Contractor's standard commercial restricted rights legend, but the schedule contract and schedule pricelist, including this clause, "Utilization

Limitations" are the only governing terms and conditions, and shall take precedence and supersede any different or additional terms and conditions included in the standard commercial legend.

2.1.7 SOFTWARE CONVERSIONS - (SIN 511210)

Full monetary credit will be allowed to the ordering activity when conversion from one version of the software to another is made as the result of a change in operating system , or from one computer system to another. Under a perpetual license (511210), the purchase price of the new software shall be reduced by the amount that was paid to purchase the earlier version. Under a term license (511210), conversion credits which accrued while the earlier version was under a term license shall carry forward and remain available as conversion credits which may be applied towards the perpetual license price of the new version.

2.1.8 DESCRIPTIONS AND EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY

The Contractor shall include, in the schedule pricelist, a complete description of each software product and a list of equipment on which the software can be used. Also, included shall be a brief, introductory explanation of the modules and documentation which are offered.

Section 3 - SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 518210C

3.1 TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO MAINTENANCE AS A SERVICE (SPECIAL ITEM

NUMBER 518210C)

3.1.1 Scope

The prices, terms and conditions stated under Special Item Number (SIN) 518210C Cloud Computing Services apply exclusively to Cloud Computing Services within the scope of this Information Technology Schedule.

This SIN provides ordering activities with access to technical services that run in cloud environments and meet the NIST Definition of Cloud Computing Essential Characteristics. Services relating to or impinging on cloud that do not meet all NIST essential characteristics should be listed in other SINs.

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).

Sub-categories in scope for this SIN are the three NIST Service Models: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Offerors may optionally select a single sub-category that best fits a proposed cloud service offering. Only one sub-category may be selected per each proposed cloud service offering. Offerors may elect to submit multiple cloud service offerings, each with its own single sub-category. The selection of one of three sub- categories does not prevent Offerors from competing for orders under the other two sub-categories. See service model guidance for advice on sub-category selection.

Sub-category selection within this SIN is optional for any individual cloud service offering, and new cloud computing technologies that do not align with the aforementioned three sub-categories may be included without a sub-category selection so long as they comply with the essential characteristics of cloud computing as outlined by

NIST.

Table 1: Cloud Computing Services

3.1.2 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CONTRACTOR

The Contractor shall comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations (Federal, State, City, or otherwise) covering work of this character.

a. Acceptance Testing Any required Acceptance Test Plans and Procedures shall be negotiated by the Ordering Activity at task order level.

The Contractor shall perform acceptance testing of the systems for Ordering Activity approval in accordance with the approved test procedures.

b. Training If training is provided commercially the Contractor shall provide normal commercial installation, operation, maintenance, and engineering interface training on the system. Contractor is responsible for indicating if there are separate training charges.

c. Information Assurance/Security Requirements The contractor shall meet information assurance/security requirements in accordance with the Ordering Activity requirements at the Task Order level.

d. Related Professional Services

The Contractor is responsible for working with the Ordering Activity to identify related professional services and any other services available on other SINs that may be associated with deploying a complete cloud solution. 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.

3.1.3 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

i. The Ordering Activity is responsible for ensuring to the maximum extent practicable that each requirement issued is in compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) as applicable.

ii. The Ordering Activity shall assign a required impact level for confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) prior to issuing the initial statement of work.2 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. 3

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.

b. Deployment Model

If a particular deployment model (Private, Public, Community, or Hybrid) is desired, Ordering Activities are responsible for identifying the desired model(s). Alternately, Ordering Activities could identify requirements and assess Contractor responses to determine the most appropriate deployment model(s).

c. Delivery Schedule The Ordering Activity shall specify the delivery schedule as part of the initial requirement. The Delivery Schedule options are found in Information for Ordering Activities Applicable to All Special Item Numbers.

d. Interoperability Ordering Activities are responsible for identifying interoperability requirements. Ordering Activities should clearly delineate requirements for API implementation and standards conformance.

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.

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

December 8, 2011.

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 800-1224 and OMB memos M-06-165 and M-07-166. 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…
