Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the SEDS CB RFP, clarifying various aspects of the solicitation, including requirements, pricing, and submission instructions.

• Badging Costs: Airport badging costs for Site Leads are generally not reimbursable and should be included in base costs, though time and travel may be supplemental requests.
• Equipment Decommissioning: OEM or certified technicians are not required for decommissioning Condition Code X equipment, but may be needed for EDS networking support.
• Insurance: Additional insurance rates required by some airports are generally considered business expenses and not reimbursable.
• Reporting: The Reimbursement Agreement Invoice Review Status Report is due COB Fridays.
• Proposal Format: Microsoft Word is required for Volumes I and II, and Microsoft Excel for the price proposal. Hardcopy submissions are not required.
• Shipping Costs: Shipping costs are based on notice periods and do not include OCONUS locations, which will be FFP. Estimated replacement values for equipment will not be provided; bidders should coordinate with OEMs. Tip-N-Tell and shock sensor stickers are required for TSE, not peripheral items.
• Rigging and Crane Lifts: Union labor costs are not included in FUP for rigging. Deinstallation of EDS is part of the rigging effort. Special rigging rates or crane lifts outside of specified parameters will be FFP.
• Temporary Storage: Storage costs do not include liability insurance. For UPS units stored over six months, additional electrical power costs may be required and can be treated on an individual basis as FFP.
• Sample Task Order: Quantities in the Sample Task Order have been increased for more realistic evaluation. Government has provided hours for Site Lead and Engineer Level 4 tasks.
• Task Order Project Managers (TOPMs): TOPMs and all program management functions should be bid as part of the overarching PM Task Order, not at the individual task order level. Equivalent experience or certifications in process are not accepted for TOPM qualifications.

Several clarifications impact pricing, submission requirements, and the scope of work. Amendment 1 has been issued to reflect some of these changes, including the removal of hardcopy submission references and updates to proposal format requirements. Bidders should review the updated RFP and any amendments carefully.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains questions and answers related to the SEDS CB RFP, providing clarifications on various aspects of the solicitation.

• Badging Costs: Airport badging costs for Site Leads are generally a non-reimbursable business expense, though time and travel may be supplemental requests at the TO level. Additional insurance rates for badging and rigging are also generally not reimbursable.
• Equipment Decommissioning: An OEM or certified technician is not required for decommissioning Condition Code X equipment, but may be needed for EDS networking support.
• Submission Deadlines: The due date for the "Reimbursement Agreement Invoice Review Status Report" is COB Friday, as clarified in Amendment 1.
• Proposal Format: Microsoft Word is required for Volumes I and II, and Microsoft Excel for the price proposal. Hardcopy submission references have been removed.
• Shipping Clarifications: Shipping notice is until the date of delivery. TSA will not provide equipment replacement values; offerors should coordinate with OEMs. OCONUS shipping will be completed as FFP, not under FUP pricing. Tip-N-Tell and shock sensor stickers are required for TSE, not peripheral items.
• Rigging and Crane Usage: Union rigging labor costs are not included in FUP; third-party pricing will be required. Rigging FUP applies if riggers are needed for temporary storage loading/unloading. Deinstallation is covered under rigging FUP if dismantling is required. Special rigging rates for crane lifts outside basic parameters (40-foot radius, 20-foot height, 16,000 lbs max load, paved terrain) will be FFP.
• Temporary Storage: Storage costs do not include liability insurance. For UPS units stored over six months, additional electrical and power costs are not included in the standard line item and will be treated on an individual FFP basis.
• Sample Task Order: The Government has revised the Sample Task Order to include specific hours for Site Lead and Engineer Level 4 tasks, and has increased quantities to provide a more realistic cost evaluation.
• Program Management Task Order: All Program Managers and Task Order Managers should be included in the PM Task Order. The Government anticipates four task orders: PM, EDS Deployments, CBIS Remediation, and AdHoc.

This document clarifies requirements, submission instructions, and pricing considerations, impacting how bidders should prepare their proposals and understand contract terms. Several sections of the RFP have been updated via Amendment 1 based on these clarifications.

This document, titled "ITAR Terms & Conditions," outlines critical cybersecurity, data handling, and personnel security requirements for contractors working with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It details policies and procedures related to information assurance, risk management, data privacy, system authorization (ATO), and supply chain risk management.

This document is highly relevant for potential bidders as it establishes mandatory compliance standards for any contractor involved with TSA IT systems and data. Key areas of focus for bidders include:

• Cybersecurity Policy: Adherence to DHS and TSA cybersecurity directives, including NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 standards. This covers general security requirements, risk management frameworks (RMF), and continuous monitoring.
• Data Handling: Strict protocols for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Sensitive Security Information (SSI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII). This includes encryption requirements and data control measures.
• Personnel Security: Requirements for background checks (Public Trust), security clearances, and signing Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs).
• System Authorization: The necessity of obtaining an Authorization to Operate (ATO) for all TSA IT systems, including pilot systems, before processing operational data or connecting to TSA networks.
• Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM): Mandates for accounting of components in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products, secure supply chain transport, and notification of changes in ownership or control.
• Enterprise Architecture & Cloud Computing: Compliance with DHS and TSA Enterprise Architecture standards, including the use of the TSA NextGen Architecture (NGA) Technology Stack. Cloud solutions must adhere to FedRAMP requirements.
• Identity and Access Management: Emphasis on the use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials for accessing TSA resources.
• Training: Mandatory cybersecurity and privacy training for all contractor personnel.
• Disposition of Government Resources: Procedures for returning and sanitizing all TSA information and IT resources upon contract expiration.

Bidders must carefully review these terms to ensure their proposed solutions and operational capabilities meet TSA's stringent security and compliance requirements.
