The Performance Work Statement, Attachment A (including Attachments A1 through A17), is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

CYBERSECURITY PLAN

(1) Independent Verification and Validation

(a) Upon request, the contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer a copy of the contractor’s most current plan of action to meet the security requirements defined in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-

171. The contractor shall use the NIST Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Plan of Action template format found at https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Publications/sp/800-171/rev-1/final/documents/CUI-Plan-of-Action-

Template-final.docx. The plan of action shall detail the resources required to accomplish the elements of the plan, any milestones in meeting the tasks, and scheduled completion dates for the milestones.

(b) Upon request, the contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer contingency planning documentation showing compliance with NIST SP 800-171 requirement 3.8.9, “Protect the confidentiality of backup CUI at storage locations.” Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 requirement 3.8.9, “Protect the confidentiality of backup CUI at storage locations” shall be in accordance with NIST SP 800-171A assessment procedures.

(c) Upon request, the contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer documentation verifying compliance with

NIST SP 800-171 requirement 3.11.1. The documentation shall demonstrate that the contractor periodically assesses the risk to organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), organizational assets, and individuals, resulting from the operation of organizational systems and the associated processing, storage, or transmission of CUI. Examples of appropriate documentation include, but are not limited to: risk assessment; risk assessment results; risk assessment reviews; and risk assessment updates. The Contracting Officer may direct the contractor to provide other relevant documents or records if the Contracting Officer determines such documents or records are necessary to verify compliance with NIST SP 800-171 requirement 3.11.1.

(d) The contractor shall allow a Government Cyber Assessment Team or a Third Party Assessor to perform an on-site compliance review for compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012, of the systems owned and operated by the contractor or subcontractor that will be processing, storing, transmitting, or displaying Covered Defense Information or that will be used to perform the requirements of the contract designated as operationally critical support as defined in

DFARS 252.204-7012. If the contractor proposes a Third Party Assessor in lieu of the Government Cyber

Assessment Team, all costs associated with engaging the assessor shall be borne by the contractor. Furthermore, the

Government shall be provided all the standards and requirements of the Third Party Assessor in the contractor’s request to use the Third Party Assessor. If the Government proposes a Third Party Assessor in lieu of the

Government Cyber Assessment Team, the associated costs shall be borne by the Government.

This will be a measured assessment with pre-defined IP address ranges identified at the start of the assessment and will include technical and operational reviews designed to test the rigor of all required security controls implemented. The identification of IP address ranges will be agreed upon by both the Government and the contractor during the planning phase of the assessment. The IP addresses shall include all the systems that processes, stores, or transmits covered defense information in support of the solicitation.

If this assessment is to be performed by DLA’s Cyber Assessment Team or Third Party Assessor engaged by DLA, the rules of engagement that will govern this action will be provided to the contractor at least ninety (90) days prior to the actual engagement.

(2) Other Safeguarding or Reporting Requirements

The cybersecurity requirements identified in this Statement of Work do not abrogate or otherwise modify the contractor’s responsibility for compliance with any other safeguards or cybersecurity-related requirements contained in this contract, or required by other applicable U.S. Government statutes or regulations.

(3) Subcontracts

(a) The contractor shall include all the information security requirements detailed above in all subcontracts and agreements with third parties that are or will be processing, storing, or displaying Covered Defense Information in performance of the contract, or that will be used to perform the requirements of the contract designated as operationally critical support. The contractor shall provide the same information about subcontractor systems that the contractor is required to provide about its own systems as detailed above.

(b) Upon request, the contractor shall identify all subcontractor systems that are or will be processing, storing, or displaying Covered Defense Information in performance of the contract, or that will be used to perform the requirements of the contract designated as operationally critical support.

(4) Definitions

The definitions in DFARS 252.204-7012 apply to the Cybersecurity Requirements stated above.

Note: The Contractor shall submit a comprehensive Contingency Plan for continuity of operations with the proposal. Backup location strategically located so both sites are not impacted by the same catastrophic event.

PRICE REASONABLENESS

The Contractor shall deliver a solution which provides the AIR Card® EAS users the ability to determine reasonable fuel and ground service costs by merchants at each international civil aviation organization (ICAO). An example would be merchant

ABC charges $100 for a lavatory fee and merchant DEF charges $50 for aircraft type C-130 at Dulles International. The

Contractor shall provide solution(s) to identify merchants that charge higher costs than the competitor(s) and the action(s) when higher costs are discovered to ensure the Government is not financially susceptible to price gouging, fraud, or abuse.

The Contractor must implement processes and procedures for establishing price reasonableness for the Government to have awareness of merchant pricing across all commercial airports globally for fuel products and services. Commercial pricing for products and services are affected by factors that include, but are not limited to, country, state, speed of delivery, fuel type, ground services, quantities ordered, and specific airport requirements. The Contractor must ensure that prices are commensurate with the Government’s needs to save taxpayers’ money.

The Government reserve the right to dispute transactions based on price reasonableness. The Contractor is responsible for providing solutions for evaluating the price reasonableness for when customers procure product and/or services offered by merchants. There should be an analytical approach used, singly or in combination with others, to ensure that the fuel products and/or services charged to the Government are fair and reasonable. The complexity and circumstances of each fixed based locator, aircraft type, airport authority, and the local government-imposed taxes and fees should be included determining the level of detail of the analysis required.

Price analysis should be used to validate that the overall prices provided by merchant are considered fair and reasonable as a cost saving measure to the US taxpayer. The Contractor may use various techniques and procedures to ensure price reasonableness resulting in a cost savings to DOD and Federal Civilian Customers that are fair and reasonable price. The data analytic tool should provide the Government the ability to compare and analyze merchant pricing which may include reviews of historical prices paid, whether by the Government or other than the Government, for the same or similar products and services.

To support the determination of price reasonableness may be when two or more merchants’ prices are similar in products and services on the market, and the comparable price is selected, the comparable price can be concluded to be fair and reasonable.

Note, generally for conceptualizing price reasonableness where the difference in price between the two merchants with the comparable price among other merchants, then achieving the comparable price based on existing price competition.

Examples

Excessive costs have been experienced by the Government on the following ground services:

• Aircraft Cleaning

• Communications

• Crew Transportation

• Facility Fee

• Passenger Handling

• Overtime

• Ramp Fees and Landing Fees

• Vendor Admin Fee (VAF)

• Other (Inflating costs in other areas)

Note: The Contractor shall submit price reasonableness plan with the proposal.

TRANSACTION “BUNDLING”

A transaction is an event that is defined as a (1) single instance for product and/or services recorded under one (1) single delivery ticket. A single delivery ticket is a fully itemized document, which is an approved AIR Card® merchant document that contains complete details, to include pricing, of the AIR Card® authorized product and/or services rendered. The fully itemized document is provided to the card user for validation and signature at the time of sale. Under one (1) single instance is when a customer requests product and/or services, which shall not exceed the aircraft’s capacity for product and/or requirement for services received by the refueler at the FBO. All transactions as an event shall be recorded accurately by the actual lift date and time. The Contractor shall ensure merchants and third-party operators’ record a transaction by actual lift date and time as an event under a single delivery ticket. The Contractor shall ensure the exact lift time is captured and reported for all fuel and non-fuel transactions on a single delivery ticket without bundling. In addition, the Contractor shall ensure transactions do not contain bundled charges and are recorded by the actual date and time product/services rendered.

Contractor processing of DLA Energy into-plane contract transactions shall not incur a cost to the into-plane contractor nor the Government.

Bundling is defined when more than one (1) single instance/s for product and/or services are combined and recorded as one

(1) single transaction under one (1) single delivery ticket either on the same day or across multiple days. Bundling multiple transactions on a single delivery ticket is unauthorized under the AIR Card® Program. The Contractor shall ensure merchants and third-party operators create separate delivery tickets for new transactions should the customer return/s for fuel or ancillary services more than once. In addition, the Contractor shall educate merchants and third-party operators to document items correctly in compliance with the AIR Card® Program. The Contractor shall provide the ability to restrict charges. The

Contractor shall provide in their proposal, the aviation industry standardized product and service list to include definitions for each product and service. The current AIR Card® authorized product and service list is in Attachment 12: AIR Card®

Authorized Product and Service List. The final version of the list will be provided to the Contractor by contract award. The

Contractor shall restrict charges to those in the final list.

FULLY PRICED/ ITEMIZED DOCUMENT
