CANES Training Virtual Environment - N00039-18-R-0009
Question # QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE WILL RESULT IN A
RFP CHANGE?
203 Regarding the language change “If the Contractor is providing a cloud-based solution, the security required is Impact Level 4 (IL- 4)….” in the N00039-18-R-0009 - Attachment (2a) - TO 0001 - CANES Training VE SOW - Rev 04: What is the definition of “cloud”? The DISA CC SRG cited in “4.0 Applicable Document” does not define a cloud, so it is not precisely clear what solutions proposed by Offerors would be required to meet
IL-4.
The definition of “Cloud” is contained in Reference #13 (NIST SP 500-292: NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture, dated September 2011) of DISA CC SRG.
No
204 What are the security requirements that a solution must meet if it is not cloud-based? The security requirements given in 4.0 Applicable Documents (the DISA CC SRG) only apply to cloud-based solutions.
Refer to clause H-TEXT-26, Required Information Assurance and Personnel Security Requirements for Accessing Government Information Systems and Nonpublic Information, in Section H of the RFP and Attachment (3) - CANES Training VE -DD254 - 11-07-17.
No
205 Given that Amendment 0005 has for the first time allowed Offerors to proposal non-IL4 solutions, which mean that their solutions can consider hosting other than cloud service offerings in the DISA CC SRG, can the Government please extend the due date by two weeks? To provide the best solutions to the Navy it takes time to review solutions for feasibility, to obtain pricing, etc. that could not have been considered before last Friday’s amendment.
Please see the following instances where the Government has specified that the CANES Training VE solution is not required to be cloud-based:
1) Amendment 0002 released on 20 March 2018 revised Attachment (1) - CANES Training VE SOW - Rev 2 - 3-19-18 to remove any references to "cloud-based".
2) Amendment 0004 released on 5 April 2018 revised Attachment (2a) - TO 0001 - CANES Training VE SOW - Rev 3 - 04-04-18 to remove any references to "cloud-based".
3) RFP QA Set 2 released on 20 March 2018 - Question #56 answer states "Attachment (2a) - TO 0001 SOW does not specify that the solution must be cloud based.
4) RFP QA Set 3 released on 5 April 2018- Question #190 states that "we recognize that Q#58 [actually Q#56 from QA Set 2] that Attachment (2a) - TO 0001 SOW does not specify that the solution must be cloud-based".
No
