6.4.10 Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) – DELIVERABLE 10: A DSA which may be referred to in other sources as a Data Use Agreement (DUA), is currently used to control the disclosure, use, storage and/or destruction of MHS data that is managed by DHA to ensure compliance with privacy and security requirements applicable to PII, including but not limited to PHI. In addition, research requests for MHS data that include PHI must be reviewed for HIPAA compliance by the DHA Privacy Board.
Under DoD 6025.18-R, “DoD Health Information Privacy Program,” January 24, 2003, C8.3.4, a DSA is required to establish permitted uses for certain types of data IAW HIPAA requirements to prevent the unauthorized use and/or disclosure of any PII or PHI. Likewise, all uses, disclosures, and destruction of PII and PHI data are generally subject to DoD 5400.11-R, “DoD Privacy Program,” May 14, 2007, as well as DoDI 8500.2, “Information Assurance (IA) Implementation,” Feb. 6, 2003, and DoD 8580.02-R, “DoD Health Information Security Regulation,” July 12, 2007.
To begin the data sharing request process, the Contractor shall complete and submit a Data Sharing Agreement Application (DSAA) or contact the DHA Privacy and Civil Liberties Office (Privacy Office), and copy the Contracting Officer (Deliverable 10). If the application is approved, the requestor will enter into one of the following agreements, depending on the data involved:
· DSA for De-Identified Data
· DSA for PHI
· DSA for PII Without PHI
· Data Use Agreement for Limited Data Set.
After receiving DSA approval, anyone needing access to information system applications or data sources must contact the responsible system program office. DSAs are active for one year, or until the end of the current option year, whichever comes first. If the DSA will not be renewed, the Contractor shall provide a Certificate of Data Disposition (CDD) to the Privacy Office.
6.4.11 Privacy Act and HIPAA Training – DELIVERABLE 11: If required by the DHA, the Contractor shall ensure that its entire staff, including subcontractors and consultants that perform work on this Contract receive training on the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-191). The training requirements are mandated by OSD Memorandum 15041-07, “Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information”: DoD 6025.18-R, “DoD Health Information Privacy Regulation”, January 24, 2003; and the DHA Workforce Training Policy Memorandum, dated May 28, 2008, on the subject, “Workforce Training Policy Pursuant to the Department of Defense Privacy Act Regulations and the Department of Defense Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy and Security Regulations”.
All required Privacy Act and HIPAA training will be conducted online through Military Health System Learn (MHS Learn) or the current DHA learning management system (LMS) in place to deliver training to meet the above requirements. The Contractor shall ensure all employees and subcontractors supply a certificate of Privacy Act and HIPAA training completion to the COR within 30 days of being assigned to the Task Order and on an annual basis based on the trainee’s birth month thereafter.
6.4.12 Records Management: When creating and maintaining official government records, the Contractor shall comply with all federal requirements established by 44 United States Code (USC), 41 USC, 36 Code of Federal Regulations, Department of Defense Administrative Instruction No. 15 (DOD AI-15), “Records Management, Administrative Procedures and Records Disposition Schedules,” and Chapter 2 of the TRICARE Operations Manual.
6.4.13 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Office: DHA Freedom of Information (FOIA) procedures require a written request under the Act to be addressed to the FOIA Officer, DHA, 16401 East Centretech Parkway, Aurora, Colorado 80011-9066. The request shall describe the desired record as completely as possible to facilitate its retrieval from files and to reduce search fees which may be borne by the requestor. No more than ten working days shall elapse after a request has been received by the Freedom of Information Officer before notification is sent that the request has been granted or denied. The administrative time limit for responding to FOIA requests does not begin until the request is received by DHA.
In response to requests received by the Contractor for the release of information, unclassified information, documents and forms which were previously provided to the public as part of routine services shall continue to be made available in accordance with previously established criteria. All other requests from the public for release of DHA records and, specifically, all requests that reference the Freedom of Information Act shall be immediately forwarded to DHA, ATTENTION: Freedom of Information Officer, for appropriate action. Direct contact, including interim replies, between DHA contractors and such requestors is not authorized. The Contractor shall process requests by individuals for access to records about themselves under the Privacy Act procedures when those procedures are more advantageous to the requestor.

The injury could be source sensitive procurement information of the government or proprietary/trade secret information of another company.
I understand that the United States Government may seek any remedy available to it to enforce this Agreement, including, but not limited to, application for a court order prohibiting disclosure of information in breach of this agreement. Court costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the United States Government may be assessed against me if I lose such action. I understand that another company might file a separate claim against me if I have misused its proprietary information.
In the event that I seek other employment, I will reveal to any prospective employer the continuing obligation in this agreement prior to accepting any employment offer.
The obligations imposed herein do not extend to information/data which is:

TECHNICAL EXHIBIT 4
Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan < This template has been developed to assist DHA requiring activities with creating a QASP. The purpose of the QASP is to provide the Government and Contractor with evaluation criteria that determine whether or not the performance standards for a specific contract have been met. IAW FAR 46.401 the QASP should be prepared in conjunction with the preparation of the statement of work. Complete as much development of the QASP as possible before contract award. Since the winning offeror; their key staff; and final performance standards are not known until after award, the QASP will remain in draft form until the contract is awarded.
The draft QASP (including the attached templates for Performance Report and Contract Discrepancy Report) (CDR) will be submitted with the requirement.
Upon contract award, you should finalize the draft QASP. The QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it as needed. >
For <enter contract title> Contract Number: < upon award, enter contract number> Contract Description: < enter Contract description > Contractor’s name: < upon award, enter Contractor name > (hereafter referred to as the Contractor).
1. PURPOSE. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) provides a systematic method to evaluate performance for the stated contract. This QASP explains the following:
• What will be monitored.
• How monitoring will take place.
• Who will conduct the monitoring.
• How monitoring efforts and results will be documented.
This QASP does not detail how the Contractor accomplishes the work. Rather, the QASP is created with the premise that the Contractor is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating performance. In addition, the QASP should recognize that unforeseen and uncontrollable situations may occur.
This QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it on a regular basis to ensure that the QASP remains a valid, useful, and enforceable document. However, the Government will coordinate changes with the Contractor. Copies of the original QASP and revisions will be provided to the Contractor and Government officials implementing surveillance activities.
The following FAR clauses may apply…
