On July 1, U.S. Chief Acquisition Officer Anne Rung issued a memorandum to all department heads outlining exactly how agencies should go about contracting for identity protection services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Memo:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/omb\/memoranda\/2016\/m-16-14.pdf\">Category Management Policy 16-2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going forward, all agencies offering identity protection services to citizens or employees must contract through the General Services Administration&#8217;s Identity Monitoring Data Breach Response and Protection Services (IPS) blanket purchase agreement (BPA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Taking advantage of the IPS BPAs ensures agencies can meet their needs for expeditious delivery of best-in-class solutions from pre-approved and vetted companies at competitive pricing,&#8221; Rung wrote in the memo. &#8220;For these reasons, the IPS BPAs shall be treated as a preferred source for federal agencies when agencies have a need for credit monitoring, breach response and identity protection services.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IPS BPA was first launched in 2006 but agencies haven&#8217;t always made use of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After news broke of the massive breach of the Office of Personnel Management&#8217;s networks in early June 2015, the agency scrambled to award a contract for identity protection and credit monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A contract was awarded to CSID and its parent company, Winvale, however the quick turnaround resulted in OPM choosing the wrong contract vehicle and otherwise violating the Federal Acquisition Regulation, according to a November 2015 inspector general report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IPS BPA has since been updated to widen the scope of offerings and ensure it will be useful for agencies across the federal government, Rung noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agencies can still use existing, in-house vehicles for these services, though they have to do a full analysis of the costs and benefits in consultation with the agency&#8217;s category manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contracts for other IT or cybersecurity services that include breach response and identity protection as an additional subset of the main contract are exempt, according to the memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;By implementing the process described above, the government will serve the needs of impacted individuals, programs and operations by leveraging the government&#8217;s robust buying power abilities to provide cost-effective, best-in-class solutions,&#8221; Rung said. &#8220;Agencies are encouraged to contact GSA and OMB with any potential questions or concerns regarding the implementation of included instructions.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of Management and Budget issued a new memo
