STATEMENT OF NEED – Leica LS15 Digital Level

NC-NL4000-23-00655

National Geodetic Survey

1. Introduction/Background: The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has a clearly stated mission to “define, maintain and provide access to the National Spatial Reference System” (NSRS). This mission is founded in Congressional mandates and Executive orders and has been the basic mission of NGS since its inception as part of the Survey of the Coast in 1807. In particular, the NGS Field Operations Branch supports positioning efforts with field surveys for Coastal Mapping, NERRS, Federal Aviation Administration Airport Obstruction Surveys, and various internal NGS surveying efforts. NGS requires digital levels to conduct geodetic quality leveling to define and validate the geodetic framework needed for foundational data acquisition. The current leveling equipment of Field Operations Branch is outdated and unsupported by the manufacturer. The ability of Field Operations Branch to perform high-quality geodetic leveling is critical in order for NGS to be able to complete their mission of defining the NSRS. NGS desires to purchase a new high-quality digital level that can meet the needs of our Field Operations Branch.

6. Security Requirements

The Assessment and Authorization (A&A) requirements of Clause 48 CFR 1352.239-72 do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required.

The following is a list of relevant information the Department of Commerce (DOC) Information Technology (IT) Security takes into consideration when assessing the security requirements and risk for procuring IT products and services.

a) The Contractor shall only supply Information Technology (e.g., hardware, software, firmware, etc.) and/or product license and shall not require the use of any contractor owned equipment.

The contractor will not have remote access to any government owned equipment. The Contractor shall ensure the acquiring Information Technology provided disables “phone home” or similar capabilities.

b) Product support and supporting documentation allows for the sanitization of the acquiring Information Technology and/or product license upon the disposal of the product. Product shall allow the use one of the approved methods for secure destruction of data/information including unclassified but sensitive information. Approved methods include NIST Special Publications 800- 88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization (https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r1.pdf) or the National Security Agency in the Media Destruction Guidance (https://www.nsa.gov/Resources/Media- Destruction-Guidance/).

c) The acquiring information technology is engineered for trustworthy and security that is consistent with the engineering-based trustworthy secure solutions as outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-160 Systems Security Engineering: Considerations for a Multidisciplinary Approach in the Engineering of Trustworthy Secure Systems (https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-160v1.pdf).

d) The acquiring information technology complies with Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-07-18 Ensuring New Acquisitions Include Common Security Configurations and the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR) 39.101(d) regulations require NIST common security configuration checklists including United States Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB) initiative. More information is available at National Checklist Program (NCP), (https://nvd.nist.gov/ncp/repository), the U.S. government repository of publicly available security checklists (or benchmarks) that provide detailed low-level guidance on setting the security configuration of operating systems and applications. The acquiring information technology takes into account the following requirements:

i. Software procured meets the standard installation, operation, maintenance, updates and/or patching of software shall not alter the configuration settings from the approved USGCB/other secure configuration.

ii. Applications designed for normal end users run in the standard user context without elevated system administration privileges.

iii. Supporting documentation or reference(s) that describes the security capabilities, the design and development processes and the testing and evaluation procedures used by the product or services being provided for this acquisition.

iv. Supporting documentation or reference(s) that describes all product or service updates and enhancements as they are implemented. The product or service supporting documentation could be the user and system administrator guides, which is documents the functional properties of the security controls employed to permit the analysis and testing of the security controls.

e) The acquiring information technology complies with the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors requirements from FAR 4.1302 stating: (a) In order to comply with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201-3 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors (https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.FIPS.201-3), agencies must purchase only approved personal identity verification products and services, (b) Agencies may acquire the approved products and services from the GSA, Federal Supply Schedule 70, Special Item Number (SIN) 132-62, HSPD-12 Product and Service Components, in accordance with ordering procedures outlined in FAR Subpart 8.4.

f) The acquiring information technology complies with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) requirements from FAR part 11.002 requirements that state the agency Chief Information Officer can waive this requirement provided the acquisition requirements documents the appropriate technical capabilities defined in the USGv6 Profile available in the NIST Special Publication (SP) 500-267 (https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program) and the corresponding declarations of conformance. To meet this requirement each DOC acquisition of IP protocol technology must express requirements for IPv6 capabilities in terms of the USGv6 Profile (i.e., using the USGV6 Capabilities Check List) and vendors must be required to document their product’s support of the requested capabilities through the USGv6 test program

(https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/usgv6-program/usgv6-revision-1) using the USGv6 Suppliers Declaration of Conformity.

7. Market Research performed: Prices on GSA Advantage were checked. This manufacture of digital levels is also currently utilized by our Branch so the technical capability of completing our scope of work is known.

8. 12-month Option Period(s) Added: N/A
