(3) If the Contractor expends the estimated cost of the contract, during the term of the contract and has provided less than X staff-hours, the Government may require the Contractor to continue performance, by providing cost growth funding, without adjusting the fixed fee, until such time as the Contractor has provided X staff-hours.

(4) If the Contracting Officer does not elect to exercise the Government’s rights as set forth in paragraph (d)(2) and (d)(3) above, and the Contractor has not expended more than 95 % of X staff-hours, the fixed fee shall be equitably adjusted downward to reflect the diminution of work.

(5) Nothing herein contained shall, in any way, abrogate the Contractor’s responsibilities, and/or the Government’s rights within the terms of the contract provision entitled “Limitation of Cost” or “Limitation of Funds” as they shall apply throughout the term of the contract, based upon the total amount of funding allotted to the contract during its specified term.

(e) Within 45 days after completion of the work under each separately identified period of performance hereunder, the Contractor shall submit the following information in writing to the Contracting Officer with copies to the cognizant Contract Administration Office and DCAA office to which vouchers are submitted:

ADVANCED CYBER SUPPORT SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENT

NETWORK OPERATIONS AND SECURITY CENTER

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) has a requirement to provide Cyber Support Services related to the United States Marine Corps Cyberspace Operations Group (MCCOG). The objective is to support the MCCOG in carrying out the technical, engineering, operations, maintenance, and management functions that support global network operations and defense of the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (GEN). The GEN is comprised of Eight Information Technology (IT) Support Centers (ITSCs) which are responsible for the management and compliance of devices (specifically workstations and other endpoints) within their regions; and the Quantico Operations Center which monitors network operations 24x7x365 through an array of strategically positioned sensors to ensure the availability and security of the GEN. Specifically, the Operations Center monitors three major areas of the GEN: (1) threats and vulnerabilities; (2) Information Technology (IT) systems status and performance; and (3) global Government operations.

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 The GEN is comprised of two components, the Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router

Network (NIPRNET) (GEN-N) and the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) (GEN-S). There are currently approximately 76,000 managed assets on the GEN-N, and 8,000 on the GEN-S. The GEN provides the Government with connectivity to defend network and data services essential for accomplishing assigned missions, and enables business, warfighting, and command and control (C2) capabilities from the Supporting Establishment in global Operating Forces to parent networks. The GEN encompasses entirety sub-component of the Government’s general service NIPRNET and SIPRNET common user network environments, including all communication circuits and attached devices and systems. The GEN is comprised of the garrison network (both NGEN and Legacy), deployed/tactical networks, and infrastructure that supports access to Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) managed mainframe computer services. The GEN is a portion of the overall Department of Defense (DoD) Global Information Grid (GIG) and is a designated National Security System (NSS). The NIPRNET, which transverses the GEN Points of Presence (POPs) on the Wide Area Network (WAN), is a DISA-facilitated DoD

NSS.

2.2 The GEN is comprised of over 200,000 users positioned behind NIPRNET and SIPRNET tier 2 and 3 boundaries at over 30 bases/posts/stations and a varying number of deployed locations around the globe. Each tier 2 and 3 boundary is under Government office oversight and consists of an integrated suite of firewalls, routers, switches, and virtual private network devices. Behind these boundaries are Government office managed enterprise virtual server infrastructure, storage area networks and messaging environments. In all, the Government Office manages over 5,000 physical and virtual systems on the GEN world-wide.

3.0 SCOPE

The objective of this PWS is to support the MCCOG in carrying out the technical, engineering, operations, maintenance, and management functions that support global network operations and defense of the GEN.

5.3 GEN Operations Support (Operations Division)

The MCCOG Operations Center serves as the Systems Control Center for all Government Enterprise Network systems. The Operations Center utilizes industry best practices in the ITIL v3 framework with a focus on Service Transition and Service Operations. The Operations Center is divided into five primary sections which are overseen by one management element. The five sections in the Operations Center are: Watch Teams; Network Operations Center (NOC) Service Desk; IT Business Processes; Unified Communications;

and Operations Center Development. Each one of these sections is reliant on one another to be successful in its mission. Required operational hours and locations are specified under each subtask. The following is historical workload data for the Operations Center:

Item Tracked Quantity(Annual) Incidents/Service Requests 88,500 Investigations 110 Electronic Spillages 80 AMHS messages released 3,415 E-mails received/handled 84,000 Tickets handled by the Service Desk 65,600 Web Site content management 1,500 Knowledge Management 168 Change records managed/processed for infrastructure

6,100

Release packages created 450 Problem Tickets/Investigations 107 Known Errors Created 50 Solutions Created 28 Daily Turnover Log 365 Executive Briefings 260 Situation Reports 485

For all subtasks under 5.3, the following guidance for required response times and service target requirements shall be used.

The timeliness of responses and resolutions below are determined by comparing the urgency and impact of an incident as defined in the tables below. The inputs are then auto calculated into a priority designation using the Remedy system.

MAC 1 These systems handle information that is determined to be vital to the operational readiness of mission effectiveness of deployed and contingency forces in terms of both content and timeliness.

MAC 2 These systems handle information that is important to the support of deployed and contingency forces.

MAC 3 These systems handle information that is necessary for the conduct of day-to-day business, but does not materially affect support to deployed or contingency forces in the short term.

Incident Urgency Determination Urgency is a measure of how long it will be until the Incident will have an impact on the affected customer(s). When evaluating and selecting urgency, the Contractor shall consider the customer’s required time to resolution, the availability of a work-around, VIP status, and risk. The four categories are defined in the table below. The category will be annotated in the Urgency Field of the record.

Table:Urgency Categories Urgency

Categories Required time to resolve Work-around Availability Risk Customer

Critical

Immediate resolution or fulfillment of Service Request is required

Work-around not available and the need to achieve desired action is immediate

Risk is High that Impact will increase significantly if immediate resolution is not achieved

Customer Billet or mission requires immediate resolution or fulfillment

High

Additional resources should be allocated to facilitate timely resolution or fulfillment above routine work

Work-around not available but work can be temporarily shifted to other activities

Plausible Risk that Impact will increase if resolution is not achieved

Routine work

Medium

Work to be accomplished is routine in nature

Work-around exists but productivity affected

System or service available, but degraded

Low

Resolution or Service Request fulfillment is required but at a low urgency

Work-around exists

Productivity effect is minimal or non-existant

Incident Priority Determination

The Incident Priority and Weight are auto-calculated and auto-populated by the Remedy system in accordance with the table below, based on selected values for Impact and Urgency. Weight can be used to distribute activities more efficiently across the command’s workforce.
