- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a Network Baseline Assessment. NASA requires a network baseline assessment to be conducted to identify assets, ensure compliance to usage policies, as well as make sure that the most comprehensive and accurate information is being used to plan manor network change and consolidation initiatives. NASA Goddard requires the following network management/protection objectives: Discover all IP devices currently on NASA networks including wireless devices. Produce a graphical Mapping detailing all discovered assets and network connections illustrating perimeter of all responsible networks. Identify Network Leaks/Devices allowing unauthorized inbound and outbound traffic. NASA would like to conduct a preliminary Network Baseline Assessment in an effort to assess IPsonars ability to meet the objectives as described above. NASA Goddard will focus on discovering the Layer 2 and Layer 3 (IP) network and on the comprehensive identification of assets, secure zones, and inter-network connections. The contractor will find all the IP addresses routed internally, find the secure internal zones, and define the perimeter and horizon of your network. To ensure the operational state of the network is properly managed, secure, and compliant through various phases of transition. The Network Baseline Assessment should enables you to: 1. Discover and map the complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 topology of the targeted environment. 2. Document the true network perimeter to ensure properly managed entry points. 3. Identify unsecured means for internal devices to access the Internet or other prohibited networks. 4.Rapidly discover the complete list of IP addresses and address ranges that are active in the network. 5.Recognize vulnerable devices that are highly susceptible to a security breach. Network Baseline Assessment Process Phase 1: Project Kickoff 1. Review NASA Goddard network and security policies. 2. Review pre-service scan worksheets and methodology. 3. Refine project goals & define discovery parameters. Phase 2: IPsonar System Deployment 1. Install and configure IPsonar Server(s) in NASA Goddard infrastructure. 2. Deploy IPsonar Sensor(s) as appropriate. 3. Perform test scans to validate installation and ensure appropriate network visibility. Phase 3: IPsonar Discoveries for Network Baseline 1. Execute Network Discovery on visible ports. 2. Document initial assessment results for address accessibility and subsequent scan considerations. 3. Adjust IPsonar device deployment to support network-wide visibility. 4. Adjust scan configurations to improve IP address accessibility. (Repeat as appropriate.) 5. Document the network perimeter, protocol horizon, internally routed space, and secure zones. 6. Investigate and confirm all discovered address space. 7. Perform full feature set scan(s) including Host Discovery, Device Profiling, and Leak Discovery. Phase 4: Data Analysis and Deliverable Preparation 1. Alert NASA Goddard of critical issues discovered during data analysis. 2. Prepare Network Index for Network Baseline Scorecard. 3. Prepare comprehensive report and results summary presentation for delivery. Phase 5: Results Presentation and Recommendations 1. On-site, formal presentation of findings and recommendations. 2. Discussion of significance of findings in context of NASA Goddard IT mission drivers. 3. Deliverables include: Results summary presentation. Network Baseline Assessment Report. The contractor shall propose an appropriate schedule to conduct the assessment. The assessment shall begin by the end of September 2012, and all requirements completed by the end of October 2012 30 Day Project License: IPsonar Network Baseline Assessment IPsonar Project Software License *(Up to 100,000 IP Addresses) IPsonar Project Report Server Hardware Platform (Laptop) Hardware Sensor (Laptop/Virtual) Onsite Lumeta Engineer Consultant (15) Days NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Lumeta. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:00 p.m. local time on September 26, 2012. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
