NIH intends to extend the period of performance with SRA International for six months to provide the DOI with NCI IT Infrastructure support services. NCI has an ongoing requirement for Security Assessment Support. NCI requires qualified professional staff to provide SA&A Support (formerly known as Certification and Accreditation) of NCI systems in consultation with the NCI Information Systems Security Officers (ISSO) and the NCI/Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT)/Director of Information Security. Support in this area shall include:
- System security categorization;
- Definition of system baseline security requirements;
- Performance of system test and evaluation (ST&E);
- Performance of annual security controls testing;
- Development of risk assessments;
- Development of system security plan…”
The current task expires on April 30, 2019. The estimated value for these 6-months of extension of services is $623K for six months until October 31, 2019. This increases the total ceiling of the task order to $186M.
“This six-month extension is being requested to avoid any interruption in service while AQD competes a new task order for these services on behalf of NCI.”
