The services required will support the NASA Chief Information Officer (CIO) and JSC CIO objectives in providing IT security support services to JSC, Sonny Carter Training Facility (SCTF), Ellington Field (EF), Houston, TX and White Sands Test Facility (WSTF), Las Cruces, New Mexico. The functional areas of IT security support services include: IT Policy Management IT Risk Management Identity Management Authorization Management Accountability Management Availability Management Configuration Management Incident Management Interested offerors possessing the required capabilities to meet or exceed the above requirements should submit a capability statement of 10 pages or less (excluding the cover letter), demonstrating the firms ability to perform the effort described herein.

This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response.Respondents will not be notified of the results. Note: The Contracting Officer (CO) has determined this acquisition may give rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI). Therefore, the attention of respondents is invited to FAR Subpart 9.5--Organizational Conflicts of Interest. The CO anticipates the inclusion of a Limitation on Future Contracting Clause (see attached). The nature of the conflict is: The Base Information Technology Security (BITSec) contract will provide IT security support services and conduct internal audit reviews of the IT Security Program at NASA JSC. IT security support services include the functional areas listed above. The Contracting Officer has identified an Impaired Objectivity OCI that cannot be mitigated. Reviews of the IT Security Program include auditing JSCs implementation of IT Security to ensure the integrity, availability and confidentiality of critical data and IT assets. Since this effort requires an independent, impartial entity, the BITSec prime contractor and its subcontractors will be precluded from providing IT support services on any other NASA JSC contracts. IT support services include, but are not limited to, IT security compliance management, incident remediation, security plan development and maintenance, and systems management and administration for any of the following: Systems for hosting and storage systems Output devices Appliances Network components Workstations Mobile devices Further, OCI conditions exist with regard to current and future NASA JSC contracts. These include, but are not limited to, the Communications, Outreach, Multi-media & Information Technology (COMIT) contract and other contracts that perform IT security support services and IT security internal audit support services at JSC, Sonny Carter Training Facility, Ellington Field, Houston, TX and White Sands Test Facility, Las Cruces New Mexico. Respondents are advised any prime contractor or subcontractor that performs IT support services or IT security support services on JSC contracts is ineligible for award of the potential BITSec contract. It is requested that all responses to this sources sought synopsis also include a complete listing of contracts in which you are performing IT support service or IT security support service functions at JSC, as described above, as either a prime contractor or subcontractor. Interested parties shall respond with their interest in performing the BITSec contract requirements, as well as acknowledgement that they understand award of this effort precludes them from consideration in any other IT security support service or IT support service contracts at NASA JSC. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html.
