1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Contractor shall provide all equipment, supervision, and other items necessary to
perform a one-time, non-personal Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM)
survey service in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
-- 1 of 18 --
Langley Research Center (LaRC), as defined in this Statement of Work (SOW), except for
those items specified as Government-Furnished Property (GFP) and services.
This SOW describes a non-personal services requirement. The Government shall not
exercise any supervision or control over the Contractor's service personnel performing the
surveys herein. Such service personnel shall be accountable solely to the Contractor, who
is responsible to the Government for the quality and completeness of all survey activities.
No Government-to-Contractor employer-employee relationship is created or implied by
this SOW. The Contractor is engaged to provide a defined service outcome, not to supply or
place personnel into NASA positions.
1.1 BACKGROUND
NASA LaRC is responsible for conducting world-class scientific research. In support of
these activities, LARC maintains sensitive facilities, communications systems, and areas
where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and classified information may be
processed or discussed. The protection of these environments from technical surveillance
threats is a critical element of the Center's overall security posture.
The NASA LARC Security OƯice, in coordination with the NASA OƯice of Protective
Services, requires periodic technical security assessments to detect, deter, and neutralize
potential technical surveillance threats directed against LARC facilities and personnel. This
SOW establishes the requirements for a single, one-time TSCM survey of designated
facilities at LARC, Hampton, Virginia.
1.2 SCOPE
Except for those items specified as Government-furnished property and services, the
Contractor shall provide a complete, one-time TSCM survey service for designated NASA
LARC facilities. The scope of this one-time service is limited to the following functional
activities:
Routine Physical Survey: Systematic physical examination of designated spaces
for the detection of concealed electronic eavesdropping devices, anomalous wiring,
and unauthorized technical modifications to rooms, furniture, fixtures, and
equipment.
-- 2 of 18 --
Radio Frequency (RF) Signal Survey: Detection, identification, and analysis of RF
signals within and in proximity to designated survey areas to identify unauthorized
transmissions or signals of interest.
Acoustic/Physical Security Assessment: Evaluation of physical and acoustical
security characteristics of surveyed spaces, identification of deficiencies, and
development of corrective action recommendations.
Telephone and Communication Infrastructure Inspection: Inspection of
telephone systems, network access points, and communication infrastructure
within surveyed areas for evidence of unauthorized interception devices or
tampering.
TEMPEST/Emanations Review (as applicable): Preliminary assessment of
electronic processing equipment and associated cabling for potential emanation
security vulnerabilities within the surveyed spaces.
This SOW does not establish a recurring contract, an ongoing support relationship, or
require the Contractor to hire or assign personnel to work at NASA LARC on a continuing
basis. The Contractor is engaged solely to perform a defined, one-time survey service
event.
Building A on facility list must be completed in approximately early-December for planning
purposes.
Remainder of facilities may be completed at the same time or as contractor schedule
permits in coordination with CO.
1.3 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI) REQUIREMENT
Prime Contractors are informed that an actual and/or perceived Organizational Conflict of
Interest (OCI) may arise in the performance of this requirement. This one-time service
provides technical security survey support to NASA LARC. These eƯorts may include
access to facility layout information, security system configurations, and sensitive space
descriptions.
Should an OCI arise under this contract, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting OƯicer
(CO) immediately and provide an OCI Mitigation Plan for the CO's review and approval
within 48 hours of notification to the CO.
