AND PRIVACY CHECKLIST:

• “The C&A requirements do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required.”

• Acquisition of this service does not involve the storage, generating, transmitting, or exchanging of VA sensitive information to the vendor

• There may exist exposure to VA sensitive information, in particular to sensitive personal information (SPI) while implementing contractual services.

Minimum Statutory Requirements

Prohibition on unauthorized disclosure: Information made available to the contractor or subcontractor by VA for the performance or administration of this contract or information developed by the contractor/subcontractor in performance or administration of the contract shall be used only for those purposes and shall not be used in any other way without the prior written agreement of the VA. This clause expressly limits the contractor/subcontractor's rights to use data as described in Rights in Data - General, FAR 52.227-14(d) (1). See VA Handbook 6500.6, Appendix C, paragraph 3.a.

Requirement for data breach notification

Upon discovery of any known or suspected security/privacy incidents, or any unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including that contained in system(s) to which the contractor/subcontractor has access, the contractor/subcontractor shall immediately and simultaneously notify the COR, the designated ISO, and Privacy Officer for the contract. The term ‘security incident’ means an event that has, or could have, resulted in unauthorized access to, loss or damage to VA assets, or sensitive information, or an action that breaches VA security procedures. See VA Handbook 6500.6, Appendix C, paragraph 6.a

Requirement to pay liquidated damages in the event of a data breach.

Consistent with the requirements of 38 U.S.C. §5725, a contract may require access to sensitive personal information. If so, the contractor is liable to VA for liquidated damages in the event of a data breach or privacy incident involving any SPI the contractor/subcontractor processes or maintains under this contract.

The contractor/subcontractor shall provide notice to VA of a “security incident” as set forth in the Security Incident Investigation section above. Upon such notification, VA must secure from a non-Department entity or the VA Office of Inspector General an independent risk analysis of the data breach to determine the level of risk associated with the data breach for the potential misuse of any sensitive personal information involved in the data breach. The term 'data breach' means the loss, theft, or other unauthorized access, or any access other than that incidental to the scope of employment, to data containing sensitive personal information, in electronic or printed form, that results in the potential compromise of the confidentiality or integrity of the data. Contractor shall fully cooperate with the entity performing the risk analysis. Failure to cooperate may be deemed a material breach and grounds for contract termination.

Each risk analysis shall address all relevant information concerning the data breach, including the following:

(1) Nature of the event (loss, theft, unauthorized access).

(2) Description of the event, including:

(a) date of occurrence.

(b) data elements involved, including any PII, such as full name, social security number, date of birth, home address, account number, disability code.

(3) Number of individuals affected or potentially affected.

(4) Names of individuals or groups affected or potentially affected.

(5) Ease of logical data access to the lost, stolen or improperly accessed data in light of the degree of protection for the data, e.g., unencrypted, plain text.

(6) Amount of time the data has been out of VA control.

(7) The likelihood that the sensitive personal information will or has been compromised (made accessible to and usable by unauthorized persons).

The government will evaluate information based on the following evaluation criteria: (1) technical capability factor meeting or exceeding the requirement (2) past performance, and (3) price. Nonprice factors will be rated on an “Acceptable/Unacceptable” basis. Failure to meet any of the requirements will result in a “Unacceptable” rating and eliminate the offeror from further consideration for contract award.

To be eligible for award, an offer must be rated no less than acceptable in the non-price factors.

To be considered technically acceptable for award each offeror must provide with their submitted quote/offer:

Technical Capabilities: Offeror will describe and provide information on their company’s ability to provide the required services per the Performance Work Statement and meet all required performance standards as it relates to Warehouse Services to include storage, labor and transportation services for equipment, furniture, and other property. Additionally, the offeror should detail their ability, capability and understanding of the design services requirement; to include using ACAD computer programs. The offeror shall provide a narrative on the overall technical approach methods and procedures used to meet the requirements identified in the Statement of Work.
