RFR - Required Specifications for Information Technology

Revised: July 1, 2020 Information Technology. Required for Information Technology contracts. All IT systems and applications developed by or for Executive department agencies or operating within the Massachusetts Access to Government Network (MAGNet) must conform with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards promulgated by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Technology Services & Security (EOTSS). Non-conforming IT systems may not be deployed unless the purchasing agency and their contractor(s) have jointly applied for and received in writing from the Secretary of EOTSS or the Secretary’s designee, notice that a specified deviation will be permitted. The Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards are available at https://www.mass.gov/handbook/enterprise-information-security-policies-and-standards. Additional policies, standards, and requirements that do not conflict with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards may apply and shall be made available to Bidders by the purchasing agency.

Please Note: Given the pace of information technology innovation, purchasing agencies and their contractors are required to contact EOTSS to signal a system or application design and development initiative. Such advance notice helps to ensure conformance with the relevant Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards.

Contractor delivery of IT systems and applications that fail to conform to the Commonwealth’s Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards, absent the Secretary of EOTSS’s grant of written permission for a deviation, shall constitute breach of contract. The Commonwealth may choose to require the contractor, at no cost to the Commonwealth, to re-engineer the non-conforming system for the purpose of bringing it into compliance with Commonwealth Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards.
