Description of Work The U.S. Department of Transportation, Volpe Center is implementing a hardware token-based two-factor authorization solution, the RSA SecurID Appliance solution, to provide two-factor authentication for systems storing or accessing sensitive information. The solution must integrate with the installed two-factor smart card authentication process. Two-factor authentication is a key component to the Volpe Center for meeting compliance and security requirements of the current Active Directory and Virtual Private Network (VPN) infrastructure. The contractor shall provide and implement the equipment and services outlined in Contract Line Items (CLINs) 0001 - 0005. As it relates to the implementation services being requested, the contractor shall provide a design document, to be approved by Volpe Center Office of Information Technology (OIT) Contracting Officer Representative (COR), to capture project detail. TheOIT COR will jointly develop an implementation and verification plan with the contractor to be used to determine the success of the project in implementing the two-factor authorization solution. TheOIT COR and the contractor will jointly implement the mutually developed verification plan. Following the implementation, the contractor will provide OIT COR with ‘As Built' documentation. The contractor shall provide "Over the Shoulder" knowledge transfer to OIT systems administrative personnel throughout the implementation of the product. The knowledge transfer shall be in the form of questions and answers and demonstrations. Knowledge transfer will be provided in keeping with the primary goal of the SOW. 1.1. Assumptions a) All activities shall be performed during normal working hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding holidays) unless noted as "Off Hours" in this SOW. b) The Volpe Center is responsible for having active manufacturer support contracts in place for all devices that are the subject of this SOW. 1.2. Resilience-Test-Assurance (RTA) The contractor will need to utilize a Resiliency-Test-Assurance (RTA) methodology to meet the requirements identified in the SOW. This methodology will be briefed to the OIT COR to ensure the resiliency and survivability functionality provided in the products are taken full advantage of. 2. Services Specification 2.1. Tasks: The following services shall be performed by the contractor: 2.1.1 The contractor shall contact the OIT COR via a phone conference call and/or E-mail to define the following: a) Timelines - set operational date. b) Equipment Bill of Materials (BOM) c) Resources throughout life of project d) Activity/action items (Deployment, Cut-over, Test, and Handoff). e) Verify demarcation points. 2.1.2 The contractor shall review design requirements and provide recommendations based on best practices. This phase will require that both the OIT COR and the contractor are in agreement of the tasks to be performed and what constitutes project acceptance during each phase of the project prior to the contractor starting the implementation of the project. Items included in the design and acceptance plan include: a) Review of the current Client network diagram and documenting how and where Authentication Manager will be implemented into the environment. b) Review of Microsoft Active Directory (AD) user and group structures. c) Definition of the users and groups to be configured with RSA Authentication Manager. d) Review of the current Volpe Cisco ASA5500 VPN configuration. e) Definition of changes that are needed on any component of the environment including Cisco VPN, network or Active Directory. f) Development of a detailed design document to capture project detail, to be approved and signed-off by the OIT COR. g) Contractor and the OIT COR will jointly develop an implementation and verification plan to be used to determine the success of the project, to be approved and signed-off by OIT COR, prior to the contractor beginning on-site implementation. 2.1.3 The contractor will implement the product/technology at the Volpe Center to include the following activities: a) Installation of authentication manager solution on two (2) physical appliances. b) Configuration of authentication manager solution to integrate with the Volpe Center's Active Directory infrastructure. c) Configuration of Cisco VPN to connect to the authentication manager solution. If disruption of VPN connectivity is to occur during implementation a change/maintenance window is required to be sent to the Volpe user community. d) Configuration of users for physical tokens. e) Configuration of the Cisco VPN to require the users to use Two-Factor Authentication. f) Testing of failover to secondary server. g) Document the resulting configurations. 2.2 Project Handoff and Closure This phase will encompass the post implementation activities to ensure that the work performed during the build, configuration, and implementation has no outstanding issues. - The contractor shall review the project at completion to ensure that all requirements have been met. - The contractor shall request OIT COR acceptance at the completion of the project. 3. Volpe Center Responsibilities a) Provide a single point of contact with the authority and the responsibility of issue resolution and the identification, coordination and scheduling of personnel to participate in the implementation. b) Procure all appropriate hardware, software, licensing and media required for implementation of the SOW.
