Posted Questions and Answers

1. I noticed the NAICS code listed on the pre-solicitation is "519190 All Other Information Services." Will this be the NAICS code for the final solicitation and, if so, will you be considering bidders with different NAICS codes as long as they meet the business size standards and can perform the work?



The anticipated NAICS for the presolicitation has been changed to 541512. Vendors will need to meet the NAICS and business size standards.

2. 1) The Scope of Work in the PWS states "The Entrust SM8 CA shall integrate with and be useable by the AI CMS for key history and recovery purposes during card issuance." We assume that as long as the keys, and associated metadata, are stored in the correct format in Entrust that it will interoperate with the AI CMS. I just want to confirm that integration of the Entrust server with the AI CMS is outside of the scope of this project.



Please note that there is not an "Entrust server" in the contract. What is *in scope* for the contract is integration of the SM8 certificates (which is an Entrust solution) must function properly with the Card Management Server (CMS).



3. Can the contractor request progress payments? Can the contractor bill monthly?



The Government will not be accepting progress payments, as this is a firm fixed price contract.

Added: Jul 07, 2016 3:56 pm Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Information & Technology, Service Delivery and Engineering (SDE), Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE), Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration Service (EMCS), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Migration Program

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to issue a solicitation on or after July 8, 2016 for a Contractor to perform PKI key migration of all escrowed encryptions keys from a Verizon UniCert 5.2.2 infrastructure to Entrust Security Manager 8. The migration will be performed in a manner consistent with Federal Common Policy security requirements, which means that all keys will be protected by Federal Information Processing Standards Publication140-2 security at all times during the process. The Contractor will deliver to VA the aforementioned outcome of encryption key migration, along with the migration solution used to perform the works. The purpose of the code is to extract keys from VA's existing Certificate Authority (CA), store the cryptographic material securely, convert the keys to a format that will be consumable by a target Entrust CA, and facilitate the export of the keys to a target Entrust CA hosted by Department of Treasury.

This will be a competitive acquisition and a 100% Small Business set-aside.
