Security and privacy requirements for all Department of Defense-Tobyhanna (TYAD) information technology (IT) procurements.

Applicability: The requirements established in this document apply to all employees, contractors, and users authorized to participate in the TYAD IT procurement process. Further, the requirements established herein apply as the entire contract or order (hereafter referred to as a “contract”), or any portion thereof, includes either or both of the following:

a. Access (Physical or Logical) to Government Information: Physical and Logical Access refers to when contractor personnel (and/or any subcontractor) are expected to have (1) routine physical access to an TYAD-controlled facility; (2) logical access to an TYAD-controlled information system; (3) access to government information, whether in an TYAD-controlled information system or in hard copy; or (4) any combination of circumstances (1) through (3) as per OMB M-05-24, Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 – Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors.

b. Operate a Federal System Containing Information: A Contractor (and/or any subcontractor) employee will operate a federal system and information technology containing data that supports the TYAD mission. In addition to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 2.1 definition of “information technology” (IT), the term as used in this section includes computers, ancillary equipment (including imaging peripherals, input, output, and storage devices necessary for security and surveillance), peripheral equipment designed to be controlled by the central processing unit of a computer, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including support services), and related resources.

Requirements: Safeguarding Information and Information Systems In accordance with the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, the Contractor (and/or any subcontractor) shall:

a. Protect Government information and information systems in order to ensure:

• Confidentiality, which means preserving authorized restrictions on access and disclosure, based on the security terms found in this contract, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.

• Integrity, which means guarding against improper information modification or destruction, and ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity.

• Availability, which means ensuring timely and reliable access to and use of information.

b. Provide security for any Contractor systems, and information contained therein, connected to a TYAD network or operated by the Contractor on behalf of TYAD regardless of location. In addition, if new or unanticipated threats or hazards are discovered by either the agency or contractor, or if existing safeguards have ceased to function, the discoverer shall immediately, within sixty (60) minutes or less, bring the situation to the attention of the other party.

c. Adopt and implement policies, procedures, controls, and standards that are in effect at the time of contract solicitation and required by the TYAD Information Security Program to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of government information and government information systems for which the Contractor is responsible under this contract or to which the Contractor may otherwise have access under this contract. Obtain the TYAD Information Security Program security requirements based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) “Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.” The framework contains the five (5) core functions to “Identify,” “Protect,” “Detect,” “Respond (to),” and “Recover (from)” any cybersecurity event.

d. Comply with the Privacy Act requirements and with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) and with the OMB memo M-17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information, Contractor Employee Personnel Security Screenings documents, and FAR clauses as applicable and incorporated into this solicitation/contract. Personally Identifiable Information is defined as below.

Per Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is “information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.” Examples of PII include, but are Security and Privacy Requirements for Information Technology Procurements not limited to the following: social security number, date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, biometric records, etc.

Per TYAD, sensitive PII is PII that if released improperly could result in harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to the individual whose name or identity is linked to the information. Context must be accounted for in order to determine whether PII is sensitive. Some PII is always sensitive, and some is only sensitive when it is used in a particular context. For example, a list of people subscribing to a government newsletter is generally not sensitive PII; a list of people receiving treatment for substance abuse would always be considered sensitive PII.

The list below is not exhaustive. Context must be accounted for in order to determine whether PII is sensitive. The following types of information are always considered sensitive:

• Social Security Numbers (including using just the last 4 digits of the SSN)

• Date of birth

• Mother’s maiden name

• Biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprint, iris scan, voice print)

• Personal financial information, credit card and purchase card account numbers

• Citizenship and immigration status

• Criminal history • Computer access passwords and security questions

• Medical records

a. Mandatory Training for All Contractor Staff - All contractor (and/or any subcontractor) employees assigned to work on this contract shall complete the applicable TYAD Cybersecurity and Privacy Awareness training (provided upon contract award) before performing any work under this contract (this training is available to new contractors, even if they do not have a PIV card).

Information assurance (IA)/information technology (IT) certification. Per DoD 8570.01-M , DFARS 252.239.7001 and AR 25-2, the contractor employees supporting IA/IT functions shall be appropriately certified upon contract award. The baseline certification as stipulated in DoD 8570.01-M must be completed upon contract award.

Security Clearances. [If applicable.] Performance of work will require access to classified information or equipment IAW the DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification, provided as an attachment. Contractor shall comply with FAR 52.204-2, Security Requirements. This clause involves access to information classified “Confidential,” “Secret,” or “Top Secret” and requires contractors to comply with— (1) The Security Agreement (DD Form 441), including the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (DoD 5220.22-M); (2) any revisions to DOD 5220.22-M, notice of which has been furnished to the contractor.

If, subsequent to the date of this contract, the security classification or security requirements under this contract are changed by the Government and if the changes cause an increase or decrease in security costs or otherwise affect any other term or condition of this contract, the contract shall be subject to an equitable adjustment as if the changes were directed under the Changes clause of this contract.

The Contractor agrees to insert terms that conform substantially to the language of this clause, but excluding any reference to the Changes clause of this contract, in all subcontracts under this contract that involve access to classified information. Contractor personnel performing IT sensitive duties are subject to investigative and assignment requirements IAW AR 25-2, AR 380-67, DoD 8570.0 and affiliated regulations.
