1. Background The U.S. Army's cyber mission is to provide the capabilities required for various teams to maneuver in cyberspace and perform cyberspace operations in direct response to the ever changing and evolving threat. The Army's cyber mission requires the integration of worldwide suites of complementary systems capabilities for designated global, regional, and local Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs). To provide the required capabilities tailored to the specific threat and mission urgent need, the Army must enable flexible, scalable, elastic, and responsive changes driven by the evolving threat landscape, technological innovations, and availability of cyberspace solutions and tools.
The Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) program currently instantiates Acquisition Category (ACAT) III or below Programs of Record (POR):
Cyber Analytics Deployable DCO System (DDS) Garrison DCO Platform (GDP) Tactical DCO Infrastructure (TDI) (managed by PEO C3T; not by PEO EIS and PM
DCO
DCO Tool Suite DCO Mission Planning
DCO Program future Acquisition Category (ACAT) III or below Programs of Record (POR) include:
Forensic/Malware Insider Threat Advanced Sensors Threat Discovery/Counter-Infiltration Threat Emulation.
Mission
Near-Term: Continue delivery of initial operating DCO capabilities to CPTs, potentially Regional Cyber Centers, and select corps and below units across all three components (COMPOs): Active, Reserve and National Guard. Careful exploration and prototyping of technologies is required during this period to support the mid-term development and employment of DCO solutions.
Mid-Term: Provide full operational capabilities to the force. Solutions stemming from the approved DCO Information System Initial Capabilities Document (IS-ICD) and follow-on Requirements Definition Packages (RDPs) will start to be fielded during this period as POR. Technology advances will increase the flexibility and support rapid fluidity of operations. The Army must strive to influence Science and Technology (S&T) efforts to meet long-term requirements
Long-Term: Employ advanced technologies resulting from academia and DoD S&T efforts to increase the ability of cyberspace defenders in the future, and expand and develop DCO capabilities as responsive, dynamic, and tailorable. Advanced technologies will offer giant leaps in solutions, requiring less size, weight, and power, generating effects that ensure use of friendly cyberspace.
1.1 Authorized BPA Users
The BPA is open for ordering in support of PEO EIS, PM DCO, U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), ARCYBER, Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), Chief Information Officer/G6 (CIO G6), Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), and Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S).
1.2 Scope
The Contractor shall provide industry-leading, cyber-related, non-traditional program and technical management support services and work products to DCO programs, the DoD cyber community and customers under individual call orders. Specific call order scope will be identified at the call order level. Required support at the call order level could include, but is not limited to, the following:
Program Management Technical Management Acquisitions Agile Development Administration/Operations Cyber Analytics Business and Financial Management Cybersecurity Graphics Cybersecurity Risk Management Human Resource Support Integration Logistics Security/Development/Operations
(SEC/DEV/OPS)
Program Management Systems Engineering Project Management System Maintenance and Sustainment Training System Security Engineering Testing
The work covered under this agreement does not include “personal services.” A “personal services” contract is characterized by “the employer-employee relationship it creates between the Government and the contractor’s personnel.” This occurs when contractor personnel are being treated in a manner akin to that of a Government employee.
1.3 Length of Agreements
Blanket Purchase Agreements will be for five years. At five years, the BPA will be reviewed to determine if it will be renewed. However, each BPA will be reviewed at least annually, and, if necessary, updated at that time.
1.4 General Information
1.4.1 Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI)
Personnel performing work under this agreement may receive, have access to, or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services, which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI). The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and promptly submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The KO has sole discretion to decide whether the Contractor’s mitigation plan is acceptable. If the
Contractor cannot satisfactorily avoid or mitigate any OCIs, the KO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which the OCI may affect.
In order to prevent a future OCI resulting from potential bias, unfair competitive advantage, or impaired objectivity, the Contractor (to include subcontractors) shall be subject to the following restrictions.
The Contractor shall be excluded from competition for or award of any agreement/call order to which, in the course of performance of this PWS, the Contractor has received advance procurement information before such information has been made generally available to other persons or firms.
The Contractor shall be excluded from competition for, or award of any agreement/call order for which the Contractor provide the development of specifications or statements of work. Additionally, the Contractor shall be excluded from future procurements to which they have drafted evaluation criteria.
The Contractor shall be excluded from any procurement where the Government determines there is an unmitigated Organizational Conflict of Interest.
1.4.2 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)
A COR will be identified by the designation letter issued by the KO at both the BPA and call order levels. All call orders will have an identified COR and designation letter that specifies their specific authorities and responsibilities. A copy of the letter will be sent to the contractor and the contractor will acknowledge each COR’s designation letter.
Under no circumstances does a COR have the authority to authorize substantive changes to any terms and conditions of the resulting order with respect to cost/price, and delivery dates.
