Questions and Answers
I noticed that the draft PWS is posted. Will you be posting draft solicitation
documents for comments/review?
It is unknown at this time if any draft documents will be posted.
Question(s):
Answer(s):
The task areas in this presentation do not align with the PWS on Sam.Gov. The
PWS on Sam.Gov has 3 task areas with the first one being Contract Management;
there are 4 task areas in this presentation. Will you share the updated PWS?
An overview of the draft PWS was presented during the Industry Day event.
The Government will update the PWS prior to solicitation issuance.
Can CISA speak to the acquisition strategy, insofar as if the contract vehicle has
been identified and the timeline associated with this effort?
Do you have anticipated timing for the acquisition?
Is this anticipated to be a full and open competition or a set-aside for a small or
disadvantaged business?
Good morning everyone, does anyone have the link to the draft PWS readily
available to share with the group?
Approximately how many incidents per year does CISA estimate the board
reviewing?
Kindly describe the role to threat tools in supporting the board.
Are there other tools (forensics/malware) or systematic capabilities (ranges)?
Will the contractor be provided access to cyber forensic tools or will they have to
acquire licenses on their own?
Will all writers and editors need a TS or TS/SCI clearance or will a lower clearance
be permissible to contribute to the public facing reports?
Does the CSRB have an internal communications management platform or does
the government seek for the vendor to establish a system to track taskings,
deadlines, etc.?
Approximately how many fact sheets, reports, memos, and other products are
produced to support internal and external stakeholders per month?
The language in this section indicates a 1-Year Base and four (4) 1-Year Option
periods but the list shows a 1-Year Base and three (3) 1-Year Option Periods.
Would the Government please clarify the duration of the contract?
Does your firm currently hold a Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) Clearance? Would the
Government please confirm that the intent of the question is to confirm that we hold
a Top Secret Facility Security Clearance (FCL)?
Would the Government please clarify the current estimate for the anticipated
number of staff expected for this effort (understanding that the effort has not yet
been finalized)?

and three (3) one year option periods.
