VA SENSITIVE INFORMATION CLASSIFICATION The Metasys BAS (Building Automation System) is an infrastructure system that is used to control, monitor, trend, and operate the automated functions of the Providence VAMC HVAC systems. The vendor has knowledge of and access to this system in the performance of their duties to maintain the fully functional state of the system. The Metasys system does not have access to PHI/PII as it is on a segregated VLAN that does not interact with any clinical or medical IT systems. The vendor does not need or have access to PII/PHI for any reason in the performance of their duties under this contract. A previous PVAMC ISO assessment classified this system as having VA sensitive information but only in the sense that the vendor would know the configuration of the HVAC systems of our facility, not for PHI/PII reasons. Records Management Language: The following standard items relate to records generated in executing the contract and should be included in a typical procurement contract: Citations to pertinent laws, codes and regulations such as 44 U.S.C chapters 21, 29, 31 and 33; Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552); Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a); 36 CFR Part 1222 and Part 1228. Contractor shall treat all deliverables under the contract as the property of the U.S. Government for which the Government Agency shall have unlimited rights to use, dispose of, or disclose such data contained therein as it determines to be in the public interest. Contractor shall not create or maintain any records that are not specifically tied to or authorized by the contract using Government IT equipment and/or Government records. Contractor shall not retain, use, sell, or disseminate copies of any deliverable that contains information covered by the Privacy Act of 1974 or that which is generally protected by the Freedom of Information Act.

Contractor agrees to comply with Federal and Agency records management policies, including those policies associated with the safeguarding of records covered by the Privacy Act of 1974.

No disposition of documents will be allowed without the prior written consent of the Contracting Officer. The Agency and its contractors are responsible for preventing the alienation or unauthorized destruction of records, including all forms of mutilation.

The Contractor (and any sub-contractor) is required to abide by Government and Agency guidance for protecting sensitive and proprietary information. The NAICS code for this requirement is 334290.

Only mention the type of equipment, procedure, etc. to show that proprietary supplies or services are being procured.) JCI maintains control over the proprietary technology used in and needed to service the Metasys systems in place at the VAMCs. This notice of intent is not a solicitation nor is it a request for proposal. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating the ability to provide the requested services, in writing by Wednesday, July 19, 2024 at 12 PM EST time. Responses should be sent to Rosangela Pereira at Rosangela.Pereira@va.gov.
