(b) As of 10 August 2015, unless directed to do otherwise in Section L of this solicitation, vendors are required to submit a quote or proposal on the website SAM.gov.

(c) Please pay close attention to the Issued By block location on the cover page of the solicitation for closing date and time. The closing date and time is based on the local time of the listed location of the Issued By office. In accordance with FAR 15.208(a), offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any revisions, and modifications, so as to be received by the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified.

(d) It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal/quote is received by the date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation. In accordance with FAR 15.208, if the proposal/quote was not received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure (in this case, received through SAM) by the exact date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation, it will be determined late. Proposal/quote is defined to mean ALL volumes or parts required in the solicitation are included in the electronic submission.

Note: There is no "expected" or "target" length of time for proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore offerors are strongly cautioned when submitting proposals to allow adequate time for submission.

(e) Solicitations may remain posted on www.SAM.gov after the solicitation closing date. If the response deadline has passed for the solicitation, vendors will no longer be able to submit electronic responses.

(f) Any award issued as a result of this solicitation will be distributed electronically. In the event of a FOIA request for a copy of any award issued as a result of this solicitation, or any subsequent modifications to the contract, the contract and modifications will be released, including the awarded unit price. This is the notice required by Executive Order 12600 (June 23, 1987) of the Governments intention to release unit prices in response to any request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 USC 552.

5. Government Furnished Property (None)

6.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

6.1 Classification: The contract will not require access to classified information in performance of this contract. The contractor will have access to Controlled Unclassified information (CUI). CUI provided to or generated pursuant to this contract shall be protected. The procedures for the protection of CUI are below and in DFARS 252.204-7012.

6.1.1 General: There are types of information that are not classified but that require application of access and distribution controls and protective measures for a variety of reasons. This information is known as controlled unclassified information (CUI). The types of information considered CUI for the program are information marked For Official Use Only by the U.S. Government and technical data. When handling CUI material, all personnel are to comply with these requirements and follow their company policy and/or applicable Proprietary

Information Agreements (PIA) concerning the protection of proprietary information in situations not clearly stated herein.

6.1.2 Technical Data Description: Any recorded information related to experimental, developmental, or engineering works that can be used to define an engineering or manufacturing process, or can be used to design, procure, produce, support, maintain, operate, repair, or overhaul program material. The data may be graphic or pictorial delineations in media (e.g., computer software, drawings, or photographs), text in specifications, related performance or design documents, or computer printouts. Examples of technical data include research and engineering data, engineering drawings, and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog-item identifications, and related information, and computer software documentation.

6.1.3 For Official Use Only (FOUO) Information Description: For Official Use Only (FOUO) is a Government designation applied to

UNCLASSIFIED information that may be exempt from mandatory release to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOUO information includes information identified as such in the Security Classification Guide or information from a government document marked FOUO.

6.1.4 CUI Markings: Marking of FOUO documents will be in accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 25-55. Information extracted from an FOUO document will carry the FOUO marking until formally reviewed by the government. AR 25-55 can be found at http://www.apd.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/AR.aspx . Marking of Technical Data will include the statement provided in the Security

Classification Guide. If the contents of the technical document require more than one Distribution Statement, apply the most restrictive statement. This does not preclude additional mandated markings as may be required by the contract.

6.1.5 Protection of CUI Information

6.1.5.1 Access:

CUI may be released only to an individual who has a valid need for such access in connection with the accomplishment of a lawful and authorized Government purpose. Information in any media format may only be disseminated on a need-to-know basis. The need-to-know restricts the use or dissemination of CUI data to those individuals or organizations with direct affiliation with the given program or project. Further dissemination of such information will be at the discretion of the Government Security Manager. Personnel no longer requiring access to CUI must dispose (see Disposal below) or surrender any in their possession and terminate future access to it.

6.1.5.2 Storing/Handling: During working hours, take reasonable steps to minimize risk of access to CUI by unauthorized personnel. After working hours, when not in physical possession of the owner, all CUI (whether hardcopy or optical media (e.g., DVDs, CDs) that contain

CUI) must be afforded a reasonable degree of physical protection to prevent theft of program information (e.g., store CUI information in locked desks or file cabinets, locked rooms, cable lock laptops, storing in a trunk, storing out of sight or similar means). Do not display CUI in public places (e.g., airports, airplanes, restaurants). Electronic storing and processing of CUI shall be in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding Controlled Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting. Do not process CUI on public computers (e.g., those available for use by the general public in kiosks, hotel business centers), public wireless networks or computers that do not have access control. Personally owned computers and personally owned devices are not authorized to process CUI. Portable electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, laptop computers, and tablets), non-portable computers, and removable media (e.g., external hard drives, flash drives, USB drives; not including optical media) must be physically and electronically protected as described in this instruction and the DFARS 252.204-7012.

6.1.5.3 Dissemination: CUI printed documents and material may be transmitted through mail channels, commercial carrier or hand-carried without formal courier orders. FOUO information may be disseminated to DoD personnel and DoD contractors to conduct official business

13 70

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

for the program. If dissemination is required outside of DoD personnel or DoD contractors, contact the Government Security Manager for approval. Technical data will follow the release instructions identified in the Distribution Statement. Use secure communications whenever possible; however, land-line telephones are more secure than cellular telephones and should be used whenever available for discussions involving CUI. Transmit voice and facsimile transmissions only when you have a reasonable assurance that only authorized recipients will have access to the transmission. Digital transmission shall comply with the below.

6.1.5.3.1 All transmission and/or dissemination of CUI (i.e., email and file transfers) must use NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms, e.g., DoD-approved Public Key Infrastructure Certification or AMRDEC Safe Exchange at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe . These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm . This encryption requirement includes communications that contain passcodes to teleconferences or web conferences where there is a reasonable expectation that CUI may be discussed. When encryption is not available, a government collaborative suite (aka Integrated Digital Environment [IDE]) must be used to transmit CUI.

6.1.5.3.2 Contractor-hosted collaborative suites may be used for digital transmission and/or dissemination of CUI by personnel not located on a government backbone (e.g., NIPRNET), provided the following conditions apply: 1) use only NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms. The latest validation lists may be obtained at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm ; and 2) use an internally hosted service that does not use a third-party collaborative suite service provider.

6.1.5.3.3 Do not post CUI to web pages that are publicly available or have access limited only by domain/IP restrictions. As permitted by other contract provisions, CUI may be posted to web pages that control access through the use of a DoD approved Public Key

6.1.5.3.4 As new technologies become available in the electronics arena, care should be given to providing a reasonable degree of protection from known vulnerabilities. The DoD has established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DoD-approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. The ECA program is designed to provide the mechanism for these entities to securely communicate with the DoD and authenticate to DoD Information Systems. External

Certificate Authority (ECA) Certificates are obtained directly from the vendors. You may purchase an ECA Certificate from one of the approved vendors listed on the website: https://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/Pages/index.aspx .

6.1.5.3.5 The Internet is Public Access. CUI must be reviewed and officially approved by the PEO GCS Public Affairs Officer for public release before placing on the Internet. This is not applicable when the Internet is used for e-mail transmissions and encryption is used as noted above.

6.1.6 Disposal: Destroy CUI documents by any means approved for the destruction of classified information, i.e., cross-cut shredding or other means that would make it difficult to recognize or reconstruct the information. The contractor shall ensure any covered defense information provided by the Government under this contract is destroyed or sanitized from contractor-owned media and reported in accordance with NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-88, Rev 1, Guidelines for Media Sanitization, December 2014, and returned to the owning organization upon the completion of the contract or as directed by the Contracting Officer.

6.1.7 Report Loss of CUI: Report any loss of CUI to the Government Security Manager. Initial reports shall be made as expeditiously as possible in all cases within 72 hours of discovery. If additional information is required after submission and review of the initial report, guidance will be provided at that time. Mark any reports For Official Use Only, exemptions 2 and 5 apply.

The contractor shall not release program information outside of program channels until the Government review process is complete. The contractor shall submit all requests for public release approval through the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) for a review by Government technical and security personnel and by the Government's Public Affairs Officer (PAO). The PCO will, after appropriate review, either authorize or reject the request to disseminate Government information publicly. Note that authorization may be given contingent on specified changes being made to the material for which public release has been requested. The program requires 45 calendar days to process the request and render a decision. Requests for public release shall be sent electronically via encrypted email using cryptographic products that are

National Institute for Standards and Technology/ National Information Assurance Partnership (NIST/NIAP) approved or mail a Compact
