                            (E)  Summary level score (e.g., 95 out of 110, NOT the individual value for each requirement).

                            (F)  Date that all requirements are expected to be implemented (i.e., a score of 110 is expected to be achieved) based on information gathered from associated plan(s) of action developed in accordance with NIST SP 800-171.

                    (ii)  If multiple system security plans are addressed in the email described at paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this section, the Offeror shall use the following format for the report:

System Security Plan CAGE Codes supported by this plan Brief description of the plan architecture Date of assessment Total Score Date score of 110 will achieved
           
           

              (2)  Medium and High Assessments. DoD will post the following Medium and/or High Assessment summary level scores to SPRS for each system assessed:

                    (ii)  Organization conducting the assessment, e.g., DCMA, or a specific organization (identified by Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC)).

                    (iii)  All industry CAGE code(s) associated with the information system(s) addressed by the system security plan.

                    (vii)  Date that all requirements are expected to be implemented (i.e., a score of 110 is expected to be achieved) based on information gathered from associated plan(s) of action developed in accordance with NIST SP 800-171.

              (3)  Accessibility.

                    (i)  Assessment summary level scores posted in SPRS are available to DoD personnel, and are protected, in accordance with the standards set forth in DoD Instruction 5000.79, Defense-wide Sharing and Use of Supplier and Product Performance Information (PI).

                    (ii)  Authorized representatives of the Offeror for which the assessment was conducted may access SPRS to view their own summary level scores, in accordance with the SPRS Software User’s Guide for Awardees/Contractors available at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/pdf/SPRS_Awardee.pdf.

                    (iii)  A High NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment may result in documentation in addition to that listed in this section.
