Data Acquisition & Proprietary Data Management

The contract requires the acquisition of proprietary data from industry providers, with strict management of both restricted and sanitized versions to ensure secure handling and appropriate access controls. Government ownership of all acquired data is mandated, and all processes must adhere fully to Controlled Unclassified Information standards to maintain compliance with federal security and handling protocols. The work involves establishing protocols for data ingestion, classification, storage, and dissemination, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information while maintaining the integrity and utility of sanitized datasets for operational use. This is a subcontract under the NAICS code 541990, issued by the Acquisition Management Division within the Department of the Interior, with a response deadline of July 31, 2026. The performance location and point of contact are unspecified, but compliance with federal data governance frameworks is central to success. All providers must demonstrate proven experience in handling proprietary and controlled data under government requirements, and the subcontractor is expected to implement robust safeguards throughout the data lifecycle to prevent unauthorized disclosure, retain ownership rights for the government, and support auditability and accountability in all data transactions.
