STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
FOR
CONTRACTOR SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE U.S. COAST GUARD (USCG)
ACQUISITION DIRECTORATE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (BI) APPLICATION
1.0 GENERAL
The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to obtain Contractor services to further develop a Business Intelligence (BI) material solution utilizing the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Acquisition Directorate’s (CG-9) existing BI System.
1.1 BACKGROUND
CG-9 is responsible for providing data-driven metrics to ensure that the USCG is promoting projects with the requisite technical, contracting, and program management skills to deliver best-value systems and assets to USCG operating forces. The USCG currently has an existing system in place that can be utilized to integrate this requirement. The Acquisition Directorate has deployed and is operating a comprehensive acquisition performance management system using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) BI software. The performance management system known as the Financial Management Procurement Data Repository (FMPDR) is a SAS-based BI system consisting of enterprise business intelligence, data integration, and performance management components. FMPDR receives data from multiple sources both internal and external to the USCG and displays the information for executives and managers through a portal, web reports and metrics.
1.2 SCOPE
The USCG has a requirement for Contractor services to develop and implement performance management data sets and measures in support of the Acquisition Directorate’s Strategic Plan and Action Plan goals and objectives utilizing CG-9’s existing BI system known as FMPDR.
Specifically, the Acquisition Directorate requires an organic capability to provide a holistic view of the CG-9 performance management data in a single dashboard/portal. The performance management data should be capable of searching and displaying relevant, holistic, and predictive information that will support strategic decisions, which will enable CG-9 to address critical business decisions and align resources with organizational plans.
In addition to supporting the goals and objectives of the Acquisition Directorate’s Strategic Plan and Action Plan, CG-9 requires an organic BI capability to implement performance management functions by integrating data from various sources into one portal that displays all measures, metrics and reports.
1.3 OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to obtain contractor support services to assist the USCG CG-9, Office of Resource Management (CG-928) in the development and ongoing implementation of existing and new automated performance measures, system reporting, ../SCOPE%20PARAGRAPHS.doc

LAST UPDATED: 02/23/2023 PAGE 6/12
any DHS information processed, stored, or transmitted by the Contractor except as specified in this SOW.
4.1.5 Security Review The Government may elect to conduct periodic reviews to ensure that the security requirements contained in this SOW are being implemented and enforced. The Contractor shall afford DHS, including the organization of the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer, the Office of the Inspector General, authorized COR, and other government oversight organizations, access to the Contractor’s facilities, installations, operations, documentation, databases and personnel used in the performance of this SOW. The Contractor will contact the DHS Chief Information Security Officer to coordinate and participate in the review and inspection activity of government oversight organizations external to the DHS.
Access shall be provided to the extent necessary for the government to carry out a program of inspection, investigation, and audit to safeguard against threats and hazards to the integrity, availability and confidentiality of DHS data or the function of computer systems operated on behalf of DHS, and to preserve evidence of computer crime.
4.1.6 Interconnection Security Agreements Interconnections between DHS and non-DHS IT systems shall be established only through controlled interfaces and via approved service providers. The controlled interfaces shall be accredited at the highest security level of information on the network. Connections with other Federal agencies shall be documented based on interagency agreements; Memoranda of Understanding, service level agreements or interconnect service agreements. COMDTINST 5500.13 requires an ISA for all interconnections. All hardware and software interfaces shall meet FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 197 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 encryption compliance. All hardware and software shall be Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) compatible.
4.1.7 Security Certification/Accreditation: Information Assurance (IA) professionals in significant information security roles are required by COMDTINST 5200.3 to have a professional certification. USCG shall provide personnel with the appropriate clearance levels to support the security certification/accreditation processes under this Agreement in accordance with DHS MD 4300A, DHS Sensitive Systems Policy and Handbook. During all SDLC phases of USCG systems, USCG personnel shall develop documentation and provide any required information for all levels of classification in support of the certification/accreditation process. In addition, all security certification/accreditation will be performed using the DHS certification/accreditation process, methodology and tools.
4.1.8 DHS Sensitive Systems Policy Directive 4300 A, Section 4.1.4 requires the "Separation of duties to prevent a single individual from being able to disrupt or corrupt a critical security process." The Policy requires the following: "Components shall divide and separate duties and responsibilities of critical IT system functions among different individuals to minimize the possibility that any one individual would have the necessary authority or system access to be able to engage in fraudulent or criminal activity." Security testing is but one critical systems function that needs to be performed by a provider (either Government or Contractor) other than the system designer/developer/operator.
This requirement is based, in part, on NIST 800-53 Rev 3, Security Control CA-2 Security Assessments - enhancement 1 which requires "The organization employs an independent assessor or assessment team to conduct an assessment of the security controls in the
LAST UPDATED: 02/23/2023 PAGE 7/12
information system." Consequently, the vendor that provides C&A services may not perform the security controls testing.
4.2 FACILITY AND COMPUTER ACCESS
The following applies when the Contractor(s) are required to access a Coast Guard, Department of Defense (DoD), or other federally-controlled computer information system(s), or needs public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication to perform their contractual duties, or requires physical access to multiple Coast Guard facilities on a recurring basis.
Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS)
(a) "Contractor employee" means an employee of a firm, or an individual, under contract or subcontract to the Coast Guard to provide services who also requires one or more of the following:
• Physical access to multiple Coast Guard facilities or multiple federally controlled facilities on behalf of the Coast Guard on a recurring basis (a minimum of two (2) times per week and/or eight (8) times per month) for a period of six (6) months or more.
• Remote access, via logon, to Coast Guard network using Coast Guard-approved remote access procedures.
• Both physical access to Coast Guard facility and logical access, via logon, to Coast Guard networks on-site or remotely. Access to the Coast Guard network must require the use of a computer with Government-controlled configuration or use of Coast Guard-approved remote access procedure in accordance with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide.
(b) Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 mandates a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractor employees. The Common Access Card (CAC) is a personal identification card for the Department of Defense/Uniformed Services and complies with HSPD-12. The Coast Guard has instituted the CAC as its HSPD-12 compliant personal identification card for contractor and subcontractor employees who are required to access a Coast Guard, Department of Defense (DOD), or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication to perform their contractual duties. The Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) is the automated application process for obtaining a CAC.
(c) Contractor and subcontractor employees working pursuant to this contract who are required to access a Coast Guard, DOD, or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need PKI authentication to perform their contractual duties must use TASS to obtain a CAC.
(d) The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or Assisting Contracting Officer Representative (ACOR) is the TASS Trusted Agent (TA) and initiates contractor accounts in the TASS, approving, returning, or rejecting CAC applications (as applicable); re-verifying assigned contractors every six months; revoking contractor and employee eligibility for a CAC.
(e) The TA ensures that contractor personnel satisfy the security requirements for CAC issuance prior to creating the CAC application in TASS. Current investigative requirements must https://www.dhs.gov/homeland-security-presidential-directive-12
LAST UPDATED: 02/23/2023 PAGE 8/12
be verified according to Commandant Instruction COMDTINST 5500.18, Coast Guard Trusted Associate Sponsorship System. The initial CAC issuance requires a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 investigation (equivalent or higher) or a Tier 1 background investigation (BI) (equivalent or higher) package that has been successfully scheduled with the investigative service provider (ISP) and a FBI fingerprint check with favorable results. The TA and Sponsor or other appropriate Federal Government representative must coordinate with the unit BI Verifier (Command Security Officer/Trusted Agent Security Manager) or the U.S. Coast Guard Security (SECCEN) to confirm the appropriate investigation has been favorably adjudicated or scheduled at the ISP with favorable FBI fingerprint results.
(f) The COR or KO provides such forms to, or requests such information from, contractor employees that may be necessary for obtaining a CAC via the TASS. The Contractor submits completed forms and information as directed by the COR or KO. Contractors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information.
(g) Contractor employees who are declined via the TASS are ineligible to perform work under this contract.
(h) When an employee with a CAC is no longer performing work under this contract, the employee must return the CAC to the COR/TA or KO on the same day the employee stops working.
(i) The contractor must insert this clause in all subcontracts when a subcontractor's employee is required to access a Coast Guard, DoD, or other federally-controlled computer information system and/or facility, or need PKI authentication to perform contractual duties.
