SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE
The following have been added by full text:
QUESTIONS / ANSWERS
INDUSTRY QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT ANSWERS (Q&A’s)
Amendment 1
1. RFP - Would the government consider increasing the page limit for the technical/management volume to 25 pages? Given the number of performance requirements and the scope of the solution, we believe that offerors would be able to provide more complete responses with the increase.
Answer: The government will increase the page limit on the technical/management volume to 20 pages.
1. RFP, Section A.1.4 –Would the government reconsider the requirement to resolve assumptions only through questions and answers? Since questions are shared among all vendors, there is sometimes a reluctance to ask questions that might reveal a strategy or other advantage.
Answer: No – the government will not reconsider.
1. PWS, Section 6., capability 2 – Does the government require a separate centralized database for each of the SIPR and NIPR discovered components or will all data be stored in a single database? If so, will cross domain transfers be covered by the government or does the proposal need to accommodate it?
Answer: Yes - the government requires a separate centralized database for each of the SIPR and NIPR discover components. No – cross domain transfers are not required for the solution scope in this solicitation.
1. PWS, Section 6., capability 19 – Would the government please clarify and provide more detail of what “monitor” means for the solution? Is the government looking for an active monitoring solution to detect changes to baseline service models?
Answer: Monitor indicates a requirement to discover any change during an initial discovery, a regularly occurring scheduled discovery or an adhoc discovery as determined by an authorized user.
1. PWS, Section 6.1 and 6.4 – Will each of the 900 users listed require training or only those specified in section 6.4? Can you provide a breakout of the number of users that will be required to administer and the number that will just be users (viewers) of the data?
Answer: Only the users listed in section 6.4 will require training by the vendor. An estimated 102 users will have varying levels of administration duties.
1. PWS, Section 6.3 – Please clarify whether the sixteen services defined represent 16 specific business applications, or, is DISA looking for just the discovery of the components listed?
Answer: Section 6.3 represents 16 specific business applications; DISA requires the solution to meet each requirement designed to discover these specific business applications accurately and in their entirety.
1. PWS - Do the ITSM modules (IM, PM and CM) need to interact with discovered data in the BAM repository?
Answer: The requirement includes integration with DISA’s instances of ITSM. The intent is for BAM data to interact with ITSM to create relationships between existing ITSM OE records, communication device records and storage device records based on matching key data.
1. PWS - Have the mappings and relationships between business applications and business services already been identified?
Answer: POCs for these applications have varying level of information regarding the relationship maps for these business services.
1. PWS, Section 6.3 - What does “non-consecutive days of on-site installation support” imply? Does that mean that contractor personnel cannot be performing installation activities on consecutive days?
Answer: The offeror is not required to be on site for the entire installation period. The environments are transitioned to site technical staff for security reviews at multiple points during the installation and configuration processes. The security reviews can take several days. The contractor does not need to be on site on the days where this review is being completed.
1. PWS - What type of MAC level and COOP (failover) environment is the government asking for? MAC Level II? RTO/RPO=24 hours? Or will the ADDM application reside on current ITSM infrastructure for which there is already MAC and COOP levels defined?
Answer: The MAC level for this system is MAC III. The solution will reside on infrastructure as designed during the engineering phase of the project.

| • | Integration |
| • | Functional/Operational |
| • | Performance |
| • | Security (STIG) testing may be done in parallel on a separate but identical test environment. |
The Testing shall validate the solution/product integration and the ability/approach for meeting all security/functionality requirements in a DISA STIGed environment. The testing is designed to validate the offeror’s proposal and enhance the Government’s understanding of the proposal. The offeror is providing a BAM solution as stated in the PWS.

Provide the rationale for each risk and its rating, including quantitative estimates of the impact on cost, schedule, and performance. Describe the impact of each identified risk in terms of its potential to interfere with or prevent the successful accomplishment of other contract requirements (e.g., PWS), whether or not those requirements are identified as subfactors. Propose a realistic "workaround" or risk mitigators for identified risks that will eliminate or reduce risk to an acceptable level.
