Attachment B
DoD Approved 8570.01-M Certification Requirements
This attachment identifies categories and specialties within the IA workforce. Categories are IA Technical (IAT) and IA Management (IAM). IA duties may be performed as primary or additional/embedded duties. All personnel directly supporting these systems as described in the PWS will have either Level I or Level II IA duties.
Within 6 months of assignment of duties, all IAT personnel must achieve the appropriate IA certification. All IA workforce personnel must maintain their certifications as required by their certification providers to retain their position. All personnel must agree to release their IA baseline certification qualification(s) to the Department of Defense through the Defense Workforce Certification Application (DWCA).
An individual needs to obtain and maintain only one (1) of the approved IA baseline certifications listed below for his or her IA category or specialty and level to meet the minimum requirement. For example, an individual in an IAT Level II position could obtain any one of the four certifications listed in the IAT Level II cell.
Higher level IAT and IAM certifications satisfy lower level requirements. Certifications listed in Level II or III cells can be used to qualify for Level I. However, Level I certifications cannot be used for Level II or III unless the certification is also listed in the Level II or III cell.
In addition to the IA baseline certification requirement for their level, IATs with privileged access must obtain appropriate Computing Environment (CE) certifications for the operating system(s) and/or security related tools/devices they support.
IA Workforce Level High-Level Responsibilities Baseline Certifications
IAT Level I IAT Level I personnel make the CE less vulnerable by correcting flaws and implementing IAT controls in the hardware or software installed within their operational systems.

SECTION 508 ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS
The following Section 508 Accessibility Standard(s) (Technical Standards and Functional Performance Criteria) are applicable to this acquisition.
Technical Standard
Type of system updates Definition
Bug Defect Updates to address system functionality and corrective action taken if something is incorrectly displayed. Defined in detail as “Corrective Maintenance” - modifications to correct defects in the system, which prevent the system from operating or functioning as intended. Such defects may stem from errors in the requirements, design, or production baselines.
COTS component updates and patches Applying updates to all COTS components to include entellitrak software, SQL & Oracle Databases, Apache, Java, middleware
Change Request/Enhancement To improve (enhance) or augment functionality. Defined in detail as “Adaptive Maintenance” - modifications to keep the system usable in a changed or changing environment. This includes modifications to accommodate sustained interoperability with external systems, such as when external systems implement changes to data structures that impact exchanged data. This also includes modifications to existing business rules, data structures, processing logic, and output products (e.g. reports) that do not introduce new functionality, but update existing functionality to conform to changes in the related business environment (e.g. Laws, Regulations, and Policies).
