Amendment No. 2 to BAA FA8750-19-S-7001 The purpose of this amendment is to: 1. Section I-TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS-make updates to Focus Area 3 as shown below: 1.0 Tactical Network Security/Information Assurance ? Demonstrate ability to securely share multiple forms of information (e.g., voice, video, text, files) among networks of differing classifications and releasabilities. Information exchanges are secured through a combination of data inspection to prevent data spills and propagation of cyber-attacks, data canonicalization to simplify these data inspection techniques, and novel methods to attest the provenance of trusted data in an assured manner. ? Develop a more agile and robust information management capability that spans security domains, allowing for more seamless sharing with our coalition partners. The secure data sharing capability develops technologies to enable both information sharing and data exchange across multiple security domains (e.g. JWICS, SIPRNET, NIPRNET, coalition networks) and also push the state-of-the-possible in object?level protection at a level commensurate with enforcing mandatory access controls on a single, multi?level network. ? Demonstrate a wide range of information exchange capabilities that are scalable, adaptable, secure, resilient, context-aware, federated and responsive to dynamic mission conditions and management policies. The technologies to support these capabilities include: mission-oriented architectures, Quality of Service policies, publish/subscribe/query mechanisms, semantic characterization, federation, machine learning, opportunistic resource scheduling, peer-to-peer protocols, and open system architectures. ? Develop the tools necessary to provide global interoperability without global consensus with integration of DoD systems of both hardware and software using a Systems of Systems approach. New and preexisting technologies should be hosted in a wiki type knowledge base. This includes but not limited to Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Community Cloud. ? Research and implement cloud-based hosting to enable information sharing which will allow a wide range of information exchange capabilities that are scalable, adaptable, secure, resilient, context-aware, federated and responsive to dynamic mission conditions and management policies. 2.
