R--CLWTP FISMA Compliance

Solicitation 140R4026Q0108 is a sole source requirement issued by the Bureau of Reclamation under the Department of the Interior to provide FISMA compliance services for the Cutter Water Treatment Plant (CLWTP). The primary objective is to modify the plant to meet current Federal Information Security Management Act security and compliance standards, which includes addressing security control deficiencies, updating the communication link with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority's Escrito Mesa Data Concentrator, and documenting system operations within a comprehensive System Security Plan. The scope requires a deep understanding of NIST controls and frameworks to authorize operations based on an acceptable risk level. There is also an option for the programming and integration of the new DZ Booster Pump Station. The base period of performance is scheduled from November 30, 2026, to May 30, 2028, with the option period for the booster plant integration running from November 29, 2027, to May 30, 2028. Performance will take place in Farmington, New Mexico. Award will be based on the offer most advantageous to the government, evaluating technical capability and past performance, though these factors are weighted as significantly less important than price. Key deliverables include a Performance Work Statement, a Contract Data Requirements List, and the resolution of tasks identified in the 2024 Cutter Lateral POAM. The contractor must also provide basic and advanced literacy training to system users regarding insider threats and social engineering.
