SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA
G.1 Contracting Officer's Authority
The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this contract. Notwithstanding any clause contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer.
In the event the Contractor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the
Contracting Officer, including any change beyond the scope of authority given to the duly authorized Contracting Officer's Representative identified in the contract, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract cost to cover any increase in charges incurred as a result thereof. The Contracting Officer has the authority to perform any and all post-award functions in administering and enforcing this contract in accordance with its terms and conditions.
The Contracting Officer may execute contract modifications de-obligating unexpended DHS/ICE dollar balances considered excess to known contracting requirements.
G.2 Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Designation and Authority:
The COR will act as the Contracting Officer's representative for technical matters, providing technical direction and discussion, as necessary, with respect to the specification or statement of work, and monitoring the progress and quality of contractor performance. The COR is not an
Administrative Contracting Officer and does not have authority to direct the accomplishment of effort which is beyond the scope of the contract.
When, in the opinion of the contractor, the COR requests effort outside the existing scope of the contract, the contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing. No action shall be taken by the contractor under such direction until the Contracting Officer has issued a modification to the contract, or until the issue has been otherwise resolved.

Within 10 days of the contract award, a Post Award Conference will be held by the Contracting
Officer at a designated location to be determined. Attendees from the Government will include the
Contracting Officer, the Contract Administrator, the COR, and any supporting staff considered necessary for effective contract performance.

The Contractor agrees that if an actual or potential conflict of interest is discovered after award, the offeror will make a full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of actions that the Contractor has taken or proposes to take, after consultation with the Contracting Officer, to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflicts.
G.6 Advertisements, Publicizing Awards, and News Releases
All press releases or announcements about agency programs, projects, and contract awards need to be cleared by the Program Office and the Contracting Officer. Under no circumstances shall the
Contractor, or anyone acting on behalf of the Contractor, refer to the supplies, services, or equipment furnished pursuant to the provisions of this contract in any publicity news release or commercial advertising without first obtaining explicit written consent to do so from the Program
Office and the Contracting Officer.
The Contractor agrees not to refer to awards in commercial advertising in such a manner as to state or imply that the product or service provided is endorsed or preferred by the Federal Government or is considered by the Government to be superior to other products or services.
Remedies: The Government may terminate the contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to avoid an organizational conflict of interest. If the Contractor was aware of a potential organizational conflict of interest prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose it, or misrepresented relevant information to the
Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract for default, debar the Contractor from Government contracting, or pursue other such remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

The following computer security requirements apply to both Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and to the former
Immigration and Naturalization Service operations (FINS). These entities are hereafter referred to as the Department.
H.5.9 Information Technology
When sensitive government information is processed on Department telecommunications and automated information systems, the Contractor agrees to provide for the administrative control of sensitive data being processed and to adhere to the procedures governing such data as outlined in
DHS IT Security Program Publication DHS MD 4300.Pub. or its replacement. Contractor personnel must have favorably adjudicated background investigations commensurate with the defined sensitivity level.
Contractors who fail to comply with Department security policy are subject to having their access to Department IT systems and facilities terminated, whether or not the failure results in criminal prosecution.

Supervisors should be aware of any unusual or inappropriate behavior by personnel accessing systems. Any unauthorized access, sharing of passwords, or other questionable security procedures should be reported to the local Security Office or Information
System Security Officer (ISSO).
H.6 PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS
H.6.1 Definitions
“Breach,” as used in this clause, means the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar situation where persons other than authorized users, and for other than authorized purpose, have access or potential access to
Personally Identifiable Information, in usable form whether physical or electronic. “Breach” may be used interchangeably with “Privacy Incident’.
“Personally Identifiable Information (PII),” as used in this clause, means any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any other information that is linked or linkable to that individual regardless of whether the individual is a citizen of the United States, legal permanent resident, or a visitor to the United States.
Examples of PII include: name, date of birth, mailing address, telephone number, Social Security
Number (SSN), email address, zip code, account numbers, certificate/license numbers, vehicle identifiers including license plates, uniform resource locators (URLs), Internet protocol addresses, biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprints), photographic facial images, or any other unique identifying number or characteristic, and any information where it is reasonably foreseeable that the information will be linked with other information to identify the individual.
“Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (Sensitive PII),” as used in this clause, is a subset of
Personally Identifiable Information, which if lost, compromised or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual.
Complete social security numbers (SSN), alien registration numbers (A-number) and biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprint, voiceprint, iris scan) are considered Sensitive PII even if they are not coupled with additional PII. Additional examples include any groupings of information that contains an individual’s name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements:
(1) Driver’s license number, passport number, or truncated SSN (such as last 4 digits)
(2) Date of birth (month, day, and year)
(3) Citizenship or immigration status
(4) Financial information such as account numbers or Electronic Funds Transfer Information
(5) Medical Information
(6) System authentication information such as mother’s maiden name, account passwords or personal identification numbers (PIN)
Other Personally Identifiable Information may be “sensitive” depending on its context, such as a list of employees with less than satisfactory performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast, a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains Personally Identifiable Information but it is not sensitive.
“Real Data,” as used in this clause, means data from a production system, contractor, or public records, or any other dataset which otherwise contains operational data.
Examples of real data include a dataset that is a ten-year old backup of an existing system and contains data about real individuals, matters, or cases, would be real data. A set of public records that was purchased from a contractor for use in testing would also be real data.
H 6.2 Required Security and Privacy Training for Contractors: Contractor shall provide training for all employees and sub-Contractors that have access to Sensitive PII as well as the creation, use, dissemination and / or destruction of Sensitive PII, at the outset of the sub-
Contractor’s / employee’s work on the contract and every year thereafter. Said training would include procedures on how to properly handle Sensitive PII, to include security requirements for transporting of transmitting Sensitive PII information, reporting requirements for a suspected breach or loss of Sensitive PII information, etc. All Contractor employees are required to take
Privacy at DHS: Protecting Personal Information training course. The Federal Information Security
Management Act (FISMA) requires all individuals accessing ICE information, regardless of their employment status, be they Federal or contract type employees, to take the annual Information
Assurance Awareness Training course.
These courses can be obtained via links on the ICE intranet site or the Agency will make the training available through other means (e.g., CD or online). The Contractor shall maintain copies of certificates as a record of compliance. The Contractor must submit an annual e-mail notification to the ICE COR that the required training has been completed for all the Contractor’s employees.
(End of clause)
H 6.3 Reporting Suspected Loss of Sensitive PII: Contractors must report the suspected loss or compromise of Sensitive PII to ICE in a timely manner and cooperate with ICE’s inquiry into the incident and efforts to remediate any harm to potential victims.
