- Description
- The U.S. Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to negotiate with George Mason University Office of Sponsored Programs 4400 University Drive, MSN 4C6 Fairfax, VA 22030-4444 to provide for a Telework Center for the Department of Commerce/ Economic Development Administration (EDA) Continuity of Operations (Coop) Site B on a sole source basis in accordance with the authority of 41 U. S. C. 253 (c)(1) only one responsible source for a 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods. EDA is required to establish a tier 2, Alternate Site B COOP facility in accordance with the specifications detailed in Presidential Decision Directive (PDD)-67, dated October 21, 1998 and Federal Preparedness Circular (FPC) 67. Th Manassas Telework Center is able to accommodate up to 20 EDA employees within a 11-hour notice of COOP activation. Its location meets the requirement of Site B COOP relocation sites (i.e., government-owned, readily accessible by autos and trucks, and within established service areas of public utilities and telecommunications providers). Accommodations include 20 separate seats for each EDA employee, a conference room/meeting room facility, and necessary general-use office equipment (copier, laser printer, fax machine, and shredder). The Manassas facility has existing technology which mirrors EDA?s technology requirements, including workstations with computer equipment, and telephones with voicemail. The existing workstations support EDA?s standard Microsoft Windows operating environment, as well as office automation suite components and anti-virus components. There is no need to re-configure workstation equipment at the Manassas facilities to meet EDA?s COOP requirements. The Manassas facility currently supports EDA?s standard network operating system environment (Microsoft Windows Server). The network environment currently supports communication with EDA field offices using the facility?s existing telecommunications. There is no need to re-configure server equipment at the Manassas facilities to meet EDA?s COOP requirements. The Manassas facility?s existing technical support staff is familiar with EDA?s requirements and is in a position to immediately support relocated personnel. There is no requirement to obtain additional expertise on-site, or to re-train existing support staff on EDA?s technical requirements. The Manassas facility meets all of the physical security requirements required by COOP. Access to the facility is controlled according to the requirements for Site B COOP relocation facilities, and existing members of EDA?s emergency response team hold badges that allow 24-hour access to the facility. No additional procedures would need to be implemented to grant the emergency response team access to the facility. Local accommodations have been identified and are readily available near the Manassas facility that can support both staff and family members impacted by a COOP facilitation requiring relocation of emergency team members. EDA must continue to have access to a Site B COOP relocation facility to fully comply with Federal and DOC specific requirements for establishing COOP plans. See note 22.
