Description ISC Oversight Roles and Responsibilities - Operations, Security, Engineering, Asset Management & Procurement - Technical Monitor & Subject Matter Experts

The fourth and final level of the ISC governance structure 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.

DIT documented duties and responsibilities for the ISC Technical Monitors and Subject Matter Experts in memoranda to FEDSIM officials. However, these duties and responsibilities do not reflect current practices in some areas. In addition, DIT could promote transparency and communication among its ISC program staff, SRA personnel, and SRA subcontractor personnel by incorporating Technical Monitor and Subject Matter Expert duties and responsibilities into a formal DIT policy.

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.
