RFQ Section Section 7.0 Type of Contract - https://github.com/18F/tts-buy-bug-bounty/blob/master/2018-procurement/RFQ.md#70-type-of-contract
It states the following “Based on the nature of this requirement, the government intends to award a hybrid Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Firm-Fixed-Price Not-To-Exceed (NTE) contract type. The contract will include a FFP CLIN for access to the platform and triage services. The bounty pool will be NTE, with varying vulnerability levels but with all costs paid directly to the researchers.”
Question/Comment
Can the vendor respond with maintaining and coordinating the Bug Bounty program as a complete Fix Firm Price Model?
Would this disqualify the vendor if submitting pricing as a complete Fixed Firm Price model, to include the platform, vulnerability management and triage, vulnerability value management, and vulnerability management for all bug bounty challenges?
The type of contract will remain as a hybrid Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Firm-Fixed-Price Not-To-Exceed (NTE). All responses must be in accordance with the selected contract type.
