About this file
This is an IT Required Specifications document issued by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Technology Services & Security (EOTSS) that applies to information technology contracts under the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The specifications mandate that all IT systems and applications developed for or by Executive department agencies or operating within the Massachusetts Access to Government Network (MAGNet) must conform to the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards established by EOTSS. The specifications apply specifically when vendors will be developing or modifying software or creating deliverables containing intellectual property. Purchasing agencies and contractors are required to contact EOTSS in advance to signal any system or application design and development initiatives. The Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards are available on the EOTSS website, and additional policies and requirements may be provided by individual purchasing agencies. The related contract opportunity involves DESE seeking a vendor with expertise in the Pyramid Model to provide technical assistance, coaching, consultation, and implementation support to early childhood educators and leadership teams across 22 Massachusetts public school districts currently engaged in SSIP activities.
Non-conforming IT systems may not be deployed unless the purchasing agency and contractor jointly obtain written permission from the Secretary of EOTSS or the Secretary's designee for a specified deviation. Failure to deliver IT systems and applications in conformance with Commonwealth Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards, absent written deviation approval, constitutes a material breach of contract. The Commonwealth reserves the right to require contractors, at no cost to the Commonwealth, to re-engineer non-conforming systems to achieve compliance with the Enterprise Information Security Policies and Standards. This specification document carries a sensitivity classification of low.

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.
