Base year: 1080 Sessions @ _ $________________ = _ $___________________<u> </u> Option year 1: 1500 Sessions @ _ $_______________ = _ $__________________ <u></u> Duties include but are not limited to: A. BACKGROUND: In September 2000, the Executive Staff of the Federal Bureau of Prisons approved a concept which would initiate a pilot program of multi-faith Residential Re-entry Program. This voluntary program, Life Connections, will initially be located in five institutions in various regions of the country. The program will be available to men and women inmates. The program provides inmates with opportunities for spiritual growth and deepening their religious roots by sharing common space and programs for the purpose of personal transformation and reducing recidivism. Inmates participate in religion specific and multi-faith program components designed to bring restoration with God, family, community, and self. The program's design increases religious tolerance and respect among inmates of various faiths; connects each inmate with a spiritual mentor; and links participants with a faith community at their release destination in order to enhance community reintegration. Another component of the program initiates specific Victim Impact programs to assist inmates in claiming responsibility for their actions and making amends with victims, family, and community. The program enlists partnerships with individuals and organizations in its efforts to lower recidivism and facilitate spiritual growth and personal change. Volunteers, contractors, mentors, sponsoring religious congregations and organizations are all essential partners in the program. The goal of the Bureau of Prisons Residential Life Connections Program is to provide inmates living in a shared living space with intensive opportunities for holistic life restoration for the purpose of reducing recidivism and enhancing prison management. B. SUBJECT: Acquisition of a Community Liaison who will assist in the recruitment and training of a broad spectrum of religious congregations and civic organizations to serve both as incarceration phase mentors and others as post-incarceration phase mentors for inmate participants in the Life Connections Program. The relationship between the incarceration phase mentors and the inmate participants will begin within three months of the inmate beginning the program and will continue at least until their graduation. The contractor will promote the Bureau of Prisons Residential Life Connections Program in the community at large in an effort to recruit and maintain relationships with re-entry mentors. This is a multi-faith program, so the contractor will be expected to foster relationships with a broad variety of religious communities on a nationwide scale. The contractor will provide training for both sets of mentors prior to and during the time they are mentoring. They will also provide bimonthly follow-up reports on status of the post-incarceration mentoring for the first year after each graduate is released. The contractor will develop and provide access to the Bureau of Prisons, a web-based data collection system to assist in tracking the progress of program participants after their release to the community.

METHOD OF INSTRUCTION: The selected contractor will be knowledgeable of program goals and will maintain accurate records of all contacts made related to the program.

Each inmate should be matched with an incarceration phase mentor within three months of the beginning of the 18-month program and also matched with a post-incarceration phase mentor within nine months of beginning the program. The contractor will also follow-up with the graduates when they are released to assure they are in regular contact with their mentors. The contractor will work closely with the Chaplain Program Manager and other program staff at FCI Milan to ensure that volunteers and mentors from a broad spectrum of religious communities are available to meet the needs of this multi-faith program.

Notice of Contractor Personnel Security Requirements Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) (See Note I) entitled "Personal Identification Verification (PIV) for Federal Employees and Contractors," Phase I. (1) Long-Term Contractor Personnel: In order to be compliant with HSPD-12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long-term (See Note ii) contractor employee whose background investigation (BI) process begins on or after October 27, 2005:(a) Contractor Personnel must present two forms of identification in original form prior to badge issuance (acceptable documents are listed in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture ID); (b) Contractor Personnel must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official who is responsible for checking the identification documents. This identity proofing must be completed sometime during the clearance process but prior to badge issuance and must be documented by the DOJ official; © Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position. Outlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level: -- High Risk - Background Investigation (5 year scope) -- Moderate Risk - Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum Background Investigation (MBI) -- Low Risk - National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation (d) The pre-appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a: (1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form; (2) Favorable fingerprint results; (3) Favorable credit report, if required; (See Note iii) (4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level; and (5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) (See Note iv) portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk level. A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements. If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Security Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results). (e) Badge re-validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated. If the FBI results so justify, badges issued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked. (2) Short-Term Contractor Personnel: It is the policy of the DOJ that short-term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a.and 1b. above. The pre-appointment waiver requirements for short-term contractors are: (a) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form; (b) Favorable fingerprint results; © Favorable credit report, if required; (See Note v) and (d) Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commensurate BI does not need to be initiated. A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of issuance. This process can only be used once for a short-term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecutive short-term appointments are subject to the full PIV-I identity proofing process. For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four-week period, this contractor would be cleared according to the above short-term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve-month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four-week period, this contractor would now be considered "long-term" and must be cleared according to the long-term requirements as stated in this interim policy. (3) Intermittent Contractors: An exception to the above-mentioned short-term requirements would be intermittent contractors. (a) For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For example, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one-year contract. (b) Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy. Please reference the August 11, 2004, and January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted access. © Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contractor, the same pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short-term contractors are required. (d) If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space. (e) If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re-approved each year. (4) An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re-adjudicated provided the individual has a current (within the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD-12 and DOJ's BI requirements. (5) The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice. _____________________________________________________________________________ NOTES: I)FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS-201-022505.pdf ii) Under HSPD-12, long-term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV-I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background investigation, is required for all new long-term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second phase of HSPD-12 implementation (PIV-II) requires badge issuance to all affected long-term contractors. iii) For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package. iv) In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations to OPM. Per OPM's instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code "3" must be placed in block "B" of the "Agency Use Only" section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types. v) For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package. Security of Systems and Data, Including Personally Identifiable Information a. Systems Security: The work to be performed under this contract requires the handling of data that originated within the Department, data that the contractor manages or acquires for the Department, and/or data that is acquired in order to perform the contract and concerns Department programs or personnel.

The contractor shall provide DOJ access to and information regarding the contractor's systems when requested by the Department in connection with its efforts to ensure compliance with all such security requirements, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Department in such efforts. DOJ access shall include independent validation testing of controls, system penetration testing by DOJ, FISMA data reviews, and access by the DOJ Office of the Inspector General for its reviews.

Mobile computing devices will utilize anti-viral software and a host-based firewall mechanism; 4. The contractor shall log all computer-readable data extracts from databases holding sensitive information and verify each extract including sensitive data has been erased within 90 days or its use is still required. All DOJ information is sensitive information unless designated as non-sensitive by the Department; 5. Contractor-owned removable media, such as removable hard drives, flash drives, CDs, and floppy disks, containing DJB data, shall not be removed from DOJ facilities unless encrypted using a NIST FIPS 140-2 approved product; 6. When no longer needed, all removable media and laptop hard drives shall be processed (sanitized, degaussed, or destroyed) in accordance with security requirements applicable to DOJ; 7. Contracting firms shall keep an accurate inventory of devices used on DOJ contracts; 8. Rules of behavior must be signed by users. These rules shall address at a minimum: authorized and official use; prohibition against unauthorized users; and protection of sensitive data and personally identifiable information. 9. All DOJ data will be removed from contractor-owned laptops upon termination of contractor work. This removal must be accomplished in accordance with DOJ IT Security Standard requirements. Certification of data removal will be performed by the Contractor's project manager and a letter confirming certification will be delivered to the CO within 15 days of termination of contractor work. b. Data Security: By acceptance of, or performance on, this contract, the contractor agrees that with respect to the data identified in paragraph a, in the event of any actual or suspected breach of such data (i.e., loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, access for an unauthorized purpose, or other unauthorized access, whether physical or electronic), the contractor will immediately (and in no event later than within one hour of discovery) report the breach to the DOJ CO and the contracting officer's technical representative (COTR). If the data breach occurs outside of regular business hours and/or neither the CO or the COTR can be reached, the contractor shall call the DOJ Computer Emergency Readiness Team (DOJCERT) at 1-866-US4-CERT (1-866-874-2378) within one hour of discovery of the breach. The contractor shall also notify the CO as soon as possible during regular business hours. c. Personally Identifiable Information Notification Requirement: The contractor further certifies that it has a security policy in place that contains procedures to promptly notify any individual whose personally identifiable information (as defined by OMB) was, or is reasonably believed to have been, breached. Any notification shall be coordinated with the Department, and shall not proceed until the Department has made a determination that notification would not impede a law enforcement investigation or jeopardize national security. The method and content of any notification by the contractor shall be coordinated with, and be subject to the approval, of the Department. The contractor assumes full responsibility for taking corrective action consistent with the Department's Data Breach Notification Procedures, which may include offering credit monitoring when appropriate. d. Pass-through of Security Requirements to Subcontractors (MAR 2008) The requirements set forth in Paragraphs a through c above, apply to all subcontractors who perform work in connection with this contract. For each subcontractor, the contractor must certify that it has required the subcontractor to adhere to all such requirements. Any breach by a subcontractor of any of the provisions set forth in this clause will be attributed to the contractor. Faith-based and Community-based organizations can submit offers/bids/quotations equally with other organizations for contracts for which they are eligible. Freedom of Information Act The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and its amendments have resulted in an increasing number of requests to Federal Agencies for copies of Technical/Management and Business Proposals from other than Government sources. The offeror should identify information in its Technical/Management and Business Proposals the offeror believes should be withheld from these sources, on the basis the proposals consist of "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential" (exemption (b) (4) of the FOIA). This identification will assist in the decision by a responsible federal official to disclose or withhold the requested information. If an offeror considers elements of its proposal to be exempt under FOIA, ensure the following notice is annotated on the title page of the proposal: Elements of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on this basis is contained on pages ____. The offeror must annotate each individual item it considers privileged or confidential under the FOIA exemption with the following notice: The data or information is considered confidential or privileged, and not subject to mandatory disclosure under the FOIA. All information in an offeror's proposal not designated may be subject to automatic public disclosure if it is requested under the FOIA. It must be emphasized that under the FOIA no information is automatically exempt from public disclosure. However, no disclosures will be made without careful evaluation, giving due regard to the need for safeguarding material considered privileged or confidential by the offeror. It is Department of Justice policy to withhold whenever possible material that is genuinely privileged or confidential. COMMON LAW EMPLOYEE PROVISION (OCT 2003) This service has been determined to be that of a common law employee if awarded to an individual.
