Vulnerability Disclosure Program Enterprise Management System (VDP EMS)

During the RFI phase of this requirement, two questions were received. The questions and answers are provided below. Please review the Q&A and keep them in mind when the official solicitation is published. This RFI has NOT been extended further. Question 1: Is the Government specifically seeking vendors who can provide a proprietary, crowdsourced VDP platform license (e.g., HackerOne, Bugcrowd), or will you also consider integrators who can deliver compliance, security automation, and Microsoft Sentinel-based triage/reporting workflows in partnership with a platform provider? DC3 is directly seeking a proprietary, crowdsourced VDP platform license; Hackerone, BugCrowd, SynAck. Anything outside of this would impact mission success. Question 2: Can you clarify the - 250 crowdsourced vulnerability - bug tag and annual mailings? Understand the concept here is that we would be responsible for the logistics and shipping of any DC3 provided items used to recognize researchers. This would be in regard to delivering - swag (inexpensive tangible goods like stickers, coins, t-shirts) to the researcher community. Specifically, DC3 disseminates - swag for things such as - hacker of the month or - hacker of the year. The vendor will be responsible for distributing the - swag on DC3's behalf (verifying mailing addresses, packaging swag, paying for the shipping, getting the swag to the shipper, etc).
