4.3.17. Handling and Protection of Non-Public Information. In performance of this contract, the Contractor may have access to DoD Transactional Information (DTI), which for the purposes of this section shall mean any information developed or received in the course of planning, ordering, shipping, tracking, and invoicing in support of the requirements of this contract. To adequately protect this DTI, Contractor information systems (IS) involved in the performance of this contract shall comply with the security requirements in the current version of the National

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171, “Protecting Controlled

Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations,” as soon as practical but no later than 1 April 2019.

4.3.18. Operationally Critical Support. The services designated under this contract are “operationally critical support” as defined in DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident

Attachment 1 provides modified requirements of CUI/CDI specific controls from NIST SP 800-171 that will be used to evaluate compliance in a non-CUI/CDI environment. Additionally, at any time during the period of performance, when a Contractor determines it is non-compliant with a NIST SP 800-171 requirement or an approved alternate means of compliance resulting in a High or Moderate Potential Impact as defined in Federal Information Processing

Alternate formats for the Plan of Action may be proposed and must be approved by USTRANSCOM.

4.3.19.2. USTRANSCOM may conduct an on-site visit to a Contractor's facility or request a third party assessment

(U.S. Government agency or U.S. Government funded commercial entity) to review progress towards meeting their

Plan of Action, evaluate any proposed variances to NIST SP 800-171 requirements, and to assess residual risk to the

DTI resulting from the non-compliance. Date and time of on-site visits will be mutually agreed-upon by

USTRANSCOM and the Contractor in advance.

4.3.20. Cyber Incident Reporting. When the Contractor discovers a cyber incident, as defined in DFARS Clause

If the

Contractor does not immediately reach the DDOC Chief via phone, the Contractor shall send a notification email to transcom.scott.tcj3.mbx.ddoc-chief@mail.mil.

4.7. Publications and Forms: Publications and forms which apply to the PWS are listed in Appendix B. The

Government, at the start of the contract, will provide forms as identified in Appendix B and hard copies of all publications, which are not available via internet web locations. The COR will provide these web sites and will forward supplements or amendments to listed publications and forms that are not available on these web sites. The

Contractor shall maintain a publications library (print, electronic, or combination thereof) ensuring applicable supplements, policy messages, memorandums and directives are up to date. The Contractor shall be guided by these publications and use these forms to the extent necessary to accomplish requirements in this PWS.

Supplements, amendments, policy messages, memorandums, and directives associated with listed publications may be issued from any organizational level (DoD, USAF, AMC, and TSA) during the life of the contract. The Contractor shall immediately implement those changes that result in a decrease or no change in the contract price and notify the CO in writing of such change. The Contractor shall provide a proposal for a reduction in contract price to the CO should a decrease in contract price result. The Contractor shall submit to the CO a price proposal within 30 calendar days following receipt of the change by the Contractor, before implementing any change which may result in an increase in contract price.
