GENERAL INFORMATION: ****CORRECTION TO PAN #***** PANDTA-21-P-0000-009489 The United States Army Contracting Command?Intelligence and Security Command (ACC?INSCOM), is in the process of determining the acquisition strategy for cloud base platform that will allow a dedicated host on the internet provide the capability of simulating adversaries during operations by utilizing commercial internet addresses as a real-world attacker hitting the Department of Defense Information Network. The dedicated host shall have a pool of 20 noncontiguous Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to conduct operations from a dedicated virtual commercial web server. The dedicated server cannot host any other organization's virtual machines or data, and provides isolation of any data residing on the server. This server will be utilized as an IP proxy server and must be able to meet Impact Level 4 and 5 security requirements as defined and based on the information processed. In addition, the server must be at least moderate level under National Institute of Standards and Technology 800-53, Committee on National Security System 1253 and Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program controls. During adversarial threat emulation, the possibility exists that Personal Identifiable Information, medical data, mission data, etc. could be assessed and must be protected per Impact Level 4 security requirements. Virtual server access from unauthorized entities could possibly allow for access to the 20 noncontiguous IPs and thus provide the possibility of being spoofed for access against the mission's assessment target. However, no data will reside on the virtual server; all data will reside on the Government's machines. The Government anticipates a single award, Firm Fixed Price, One Year Contract with Four Option Years. The System for Award Management (SAM) will be mandatory for this contract (see SAM website at https://sam.gov). DUNS information will be mandatory for this contract.
