9. Indicate the following reason(s) for updating this PIA. Choose from the following options.

New Public Access New Interagency Uses Internal Flow or Collection Conversion Commercial Sources

OA System (OASYS)/FFRDC Contract Administration System (FCAS) moving to CloudOne. Also Vendor Portal will be added and will be public-facing through Login.gov for OASYS Vendor Portal and iTrust for FCAS Vendor Portal as FCAS vendor users will have PIV cards and only access through NIH Network or NIH VPN.

9. Describe in further detail any changes to the system that have occurred since the last PIA.

Once Vendor Portal is live (estimated date February 2020), OASYS and FCAS applications will allow vendors (contractors) to access the site to submit documentation (e.g. revised proposals and quotes, final proposals and quotes, responses to task order requests for proposals (TORFPs), responses to Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Requests, contract deliverables, invoices) ), to ask questions in response to TORFPs, request contracting officer’s authorizations, and to notify contracting officers of contractually-obligated information via a Vendor Portal. The vendor portals will have separate URLs to OASYS and FCAS and will then feed the data to the system thereby protecting government data.

Additionally, both the Vendor Portals and the existing OASYS and FCAS sites will be housed within CloudOne, NCI’s managed private Amazon Web Services (AWS) application hosting solution. The Office of Acquisitions System (OASYS/ FCAS) is a Web based application. It utilizes data from the NIH data warehouse as well as information collected directly by OASYS to manage various aspects of the acquisition life-cycle.

11 Describe the purpose of the system.	The OASYS and FCAS system was originally created to replace OA’s SharePoint site that was used for routing and approval of post-award contract correspondence (e.g. invoices and deliverables) submitted by contractors during contract period of performance and for close-out. At a base level, the OASYS Contract Administration module provides OA the same routing process for approving/rejecting vendor correspondence while receiving recommendation from the Program Office. The goal from the point of design was to incorporate additional functionality found in other systems such as eContracts and Yellowtask. With the addition of Vendor Portal which will incorporate the functionality of Task Order Request For Proposal (TORFP)-EZ, the TORFP-EZ system will be retired. The overall goal for implementing the OASYS and FCAS system is to assist NCI OA with consolidating multiple systems used throughout the acquisition life-cycle and streamline the process of collaboration between the Office of Acquisitions and the Program Office. After the implementation of the Contract Administration module, the system’s user interface (UI) was improved to include user feedback and provide a smooth transition for the upcoming modules to accomplish this goal. The system also includes modules for planning and solicitations as well as a document repository where file reviews can be done. OASYS and FCAS is a supplemental system that does not usurp the authority of the principle contracting system National Institutes of Health (NIH) Business System (NBS) PRISM. PRISM remains the system of record for contract awards. OASYS and FCAS do not usurp the authority of NBS Oracle Financial as the system of record for contract funding actions, invoice approval and payment processing.

15. How many individuals' PII is in the system? _5,000-9,999

15. 

    The PII information used by OASYS and FCAS is derived from existing systems at NIH. For example, we pull user name, email address and work phone from the NIH Employee Directory (NED). We pull vendor information directly from nVision. This information is ultimately used by OASYS and FCAS for access control, routing, and collaboration. While not typical, PII information could also exist within documents uploaded into the OASYS and FCAS system but such PII would not be indexed nor searchable.

    
    

    When Vendor Portal is released, PII will be used to ensure that NCI is able to contact the appropriate representatives from awardees, offerors and bidders. Additionally, PII will be collected to establish the vendor profile so that vendor users that are authorized can have access to their specific firm's account and documentation within.

    For what primary purpose is the PII used?

15. Describe the secondary uses for which the PII will be used (e.g. testing, training or research)

25 that their personal information will be collected. If no prior notice is given, explain the reason.

OASYS/FCAS will inform individuals within the initial email invitation inviting the Vendor to register for a Vendor Portal account by including the following statement in the body of the email invitation. Additionally, the following statement will be included on the first page after the login screen. "Collection of this information is authorized by The Public Health Service Act, Section 411 (42 USC 285a). Rights of participants are protected by The Privacy Act of 1974. Participation is voluntary, however in order for NCI Office of Acquisitions (OA) to provide access to the Vendor Portal for use in uploading deliverables and invoices and responding to and submitting requests to NCI OA, Vendor Portal registration is required. The information collected will be kept private to the extent provided by law.

Names and other identifiers will not appear in any report other than what is utilized by NCI OA and program staff for routine day-to-day contract administration. Information provided will be combined for all participants and reported as summaries. You are being contacted by email to complete this Vendor Portal Registration form and a voluntary survey so that NCI can provide your Vendor Firm with Vendor Portal access and improve the website. The information you provide will be included in a Privacy Act system of records, and will be used and may be disclosed for the purposes and routine uses described and published in the following System of Records Notices (SORN): 09-25-0216 Administration: NIH Electronic Discovery and 09-25-0118 Contracts: Professional Services Contractors https://www.hhs.gov/foia/privacy/sorns/nih- sorns.html."

Is the submission of PII by individuals voluntary or Voluntary 26 mandatory? Mandatory
The PII data is sourced from existing DHHS/NIH systems (NED, nVision). Those systems own the responsibility for allowing users to opt out of providing certain information. OASYS and FCAS does not collect any new PII.

This is to ensure that access is provided only to authorized vendor users, to facilitate proper routing and notification of subsequent award decisions, and to ensure that NCI users are able to contact awardees through the system post-award. The contractors must submit their deliverables, invoices, requests, notifications and other correspondence, through the vendor portal. Terms and conditions will be included in NCI OA awards mandating this.

If no process exists, explain why not. For Vendor Portals, the NCI OA will review its system logs and any other available historical information, and will work with the NCI Privacy Coordinator to investigate such concerns raised by vendor users.
Describe the process in place for periodic reviews of 30 PII contained in the system to ensure the data's integrity, availability, accuracy and relevancy. If no processes are in place, explain why not.	A PIA review will be conducted each time major OASYS and FCAS functionality is released that utilizes addition data (NED, nVision) beyond the data included in the previous PIA. Minimally, a PIA review will be conducted yearly.
