Wanakee Strickland Wanakee Strickland, Contract Specialist Department of Veterans Affairs Program Contract Activity Central (PCAC) - St. Louis, MO 314-894-6656 x 65107 Wanakee.Strickland@va.gov EMPLOYEE EDUCATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT Page 23 of 23 Page 23 of 23 STATEMENT OF WORK DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS EMPLOYEE EDUCATION SYSTEM (EES) HD Video and Audio Transport Services Version 1 Dated February 26, 2020 1. Title of Project: HD Video and Audio Transport Services 2. Background: Employee Education System (EES) Media Services is the largest VA provider for employee education satellite services. As a recognized Veterans Health Administration (VHA) leader and trendsetter in media services, EES delivers the highest quality products using a wide array of media and delivery platforms to meet customer expectations. The traditional paper printing methods coupled with the technology advancements in distance learning are leveraged to create products in alternative formats to meet the diverse customer needs. As the VHA key source for training delivery, EES assists customers in conceptual design, media selection, production scheduling, contract specification development, performance monitoring, and content delivery through various modalities. 3. Objectives: EES has historically leveraged its satellite uplink and terrestrial content delivery capability to deliver and distribute content to internal VA learners watching or connected to the VA network, inside the VA firewall. EES now has a requirement to make content available to both internal and external learners positioned inside and outside the VA firewall. The ability to deliver HD video and audio signals via fiber from EES s VACO studios to a transport service positioned outside the VA firewall will provide the VA with that capability. 4. Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision and other resources required to receive and distribute HD video and audio from the VA Central Office (VACO) studios at 810 Vermont Ave., Washington DC. The contractor shall appropriately route, distribute and monitor all audio and video signals originating from the VACO studios via (4ea) HD video and audio fiber circuits. The contractor will route and distribute the HD video and audio signals available to a variety of distribution platforms located at the contractor s facility to include internet and satellite delivery platforms in standard broadcast and webcast formats. The contractor shall host no less than two networked VA-provided video encoders connected to HD video distribution. The contractor shall provide video engineering support via email, text and telephone M-F 8:00am-5:00pm Eastern standard time. The desired outcomes of this project are the successful transport of HD video and audio signals over fiber. Once installed and operational the transport services will provide improved video and audio quality to be used for EES webcasts. The solution organically air gaps and isolates the VA business network from webcast delivery activity. 5. Applicable Documents: None 6.

The Office for Operations, Security, and Preparedness is responsible for these policies and procedures. c. Contract personnel who require access to national security programs must have a valid security clearance. National Industrial Security Program (NISP) was established by Executive Order 12829 to ensure that cleared U.S. defense industry contract personnel safeguard the classified information in their possession while performing work on contracts, programs, bids, or research and development efforts.

Verification of a Security Clearance must be processed through the Special Security Officer located in the Planning and National Security Service within the Office of Operations, Security, and Preparedness. d. Custom software development and outsourced operations must be located in the United States (US) to the maximum extent practical. If such services are proposed to be performed abroad and are not disallowed by other VA policy or mandates, the Contractor/Subcontractor must state where all non-US services are provided and detail a security plan, deemed to be acceptable by VA, specifically to address mitigation of the resulting problems of communication, control, data protection, and so forth.

This clause expressly limits the Contractor/Subcontractor's rights to use data as described in Rights in Data - General, FAR 52.227-14(d) (1). b. VA information should not be co-mingled, if possible, with any other data on the Contractor s/Subcontractor s information systems or media storage systems in order to ensure that VA requirements related to data protection and media sanitization can be met. If co-mingling must be allowed to meet the requirements of the business need, the Contractor must ensure that VA s information is returned to the VA or destroyed in accordance with VA s sanitization requirements. VA reserves the right to conduct on-site inspections of Contractor and Subcontractor IT resources to ensure that data security controls, separation of data and job duties, and destruction/media sanitization procedures are in compliance with VA directive requirements. c. Prior to termination or completion of this contract, Contractor/Subcontractor must not destroy information received from VA, or gathered/created by the Contractor in the course of performing this contract without prior written approval by the VA. Any data destruction done on behalf of VA by a Contractor/Subcontractor must be done in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements as outlined in VA Directive 6300, Records and Information Management; and its Handbook 6300.1, Records Management Procedures; applicable VA Records Control Schedules; and VA Handbook 6500.1, Electronic Media Sanitization.

The Contractor/Subcontractor shall not make copies of VA information except as authorized and necessary to perform the terms of the agreement or to preserve electronic information stored on Contractor/Subcontractor electronic storage media for restoration in case any electronic equipment or data used by the Contractor/Subcontractor needs to be restored to an operating state. If copies are made for restoration purposes, then after the restoration is complete, the copies must be appropriately destroyed. f. If VA determines that the Contractor has violated any of the information confidentiality, privacy, and security provisions of the contract, it shall be sufficient grounds for VA to withhold payment to the Contractor or third party or terminate the contract for default or for cause under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12. g. If a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) contract is terminated for cause, the associated Business Associate Agreement (BAA) must also be terminated and appropriate actions taken in accordance with VHA Handbook 1600.01, Business Associate Agreements. Absent an agreement to use or disclose protected health information, there is no business associate relationship. h.
