2. In the Statement of Work 2.e. Mail Meter Equipment Features, it states, it states Multi-carrier capability (i.e., USPS, and UPS) to allow for rate shopping and to ensure continuity of operations for package shipments .

Q2.1. In order for the system to produce USPS IMpb compliant labels the solution must accept a recipient address, recipient full name and return address from the user and then transmit that Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to a cloud component regardless of the postage metering manufacturer. When using a cloud service all agencies under the executive branch, including the VA, are required to leverage a FedRAMP authorized cloud solution per the FedRAMP policy memo dated July 25, 2024:

(https://www.fedramp.gov/assets/resources/documents/FedRAMP_Policy_Memo. pdf)

Will the VA allow the use of cellular hot spots to bypass network connection and system security to allow the software application to be downloaded and maintained on handheld scanners?

A3.1 No. The scanners will download software through the VA's wireless network. Scanning devices and systems after adoption may require an Enterprise Risk Assessment to permit creation of a subnetwork for these devices with appropriate rules for connection. Need for an enterprise Risk Assessment cannot be determined until a vendor and product have been selected.Â

Q3.2. Any inbound tracking software including on premise solutions have cloud components in order for the solution to work that differ from vendor to vendor. Does the VA require any solution with cloud components be FedRAMP authorized?

A3.2-Yes, we require FedRAMP for all cloud integration.
