Description ISC Oversight Roles and Responsibilities - Program Manager & Subject Matter Experts

ISC Oversight Roles and Responsibilities

The ISC Oversight Committee overees three entities: Division of Administration Acquisition Services Branch, ISC Proram Management (Program Manager & Subject Matter Experts), DIT P Procurement Management Board.

Significant ISC responsibilities are vested in the ISC Program Manager position, including:

• Managing and overseeing the ISC program, including strategic planning, coordination of ISC oversight team members, financial and budget administration, and liaison with FEDSIM, SRA, and DIT management
• Chairing the Award Fee Evaluation Board
• Directly supervising the ISC Technical Monitor for IT Asset Management and Procurement and several Subject Matter Experts
• Serving in back-up or acting capacities for the Deputy CIO for Infrastructure, Technical Monitors, and Subject Matter Experts on an as-needed basis

DIT contemplated segregating some of these duties between two ISC positions when the ISC program was established. DIT could enhance internal control by segregating these duties, where appropriate, when it completes ongoing efforts to hire an Infrastructure Project Manager and Service Delivery Manager in the Infrastructure Services Branch.

Read the following text for a description of the ISC governance structure.

The first level of governance is made up of three parts, the Award Fee Evaluation Board, FEDSIM, and SRA. The Millennia Contract for the ISC is between FEDSIM and SRA. FEDSIM also provides input to the Award Fee Evaluation Board.

FEDSIM has an interagency agreement with the FDIC, while SRA provides IT services and reports to the FDIC.

The second level of governance and all following levels are within the FDIC. The second level consists of the ISC Oversight Committee.

The third level of governance consists of ISC Program Management (Program Manager and supporting Subject Matter Experts), DIT’s Procurement Management Board, and the Division of Administration Acquisition Services Branch (ASB). The ISC Oversight Committee (from the second level of governance), ISC Program Management and ASB all provide input to the Award Fee Evaluation Board (in the first level of governance). ISC Program Management and ASB also participate in the ISC Oversight Committee.

The fourth and final level of governance consists of four groups that provide input to ISC Program Management (in the third level of governance). The four groups are Operations, Security, Engineering, and Asset Management and Procurement. Each group has a technical monitor and supporting subject matter experts.
