General Information:
The IRS New Carrollton Federal Building houses the IT functions for IRS including the Applications Development, Enterprise Operations, Enterprise Services, and Management Associate CIO groups. As of 2015, the Procurement functions from the IRS Oxon Hill Constellation Centre complex have moved into the New Carrollton Federal Building as well.

IRS Background Information:
The IRS employs more than 92,000 people in its Washington, D.C., Headquarters and more than 650 offices in all 50 States, U.S. territories, and some U.S. embassies and consulates and relies extensively on computerized systems to support its financial and mission-related operations. As such, it must ensure that its computer systems are effectively secured to protect sensitive financial and taxpayer data. The IRS needs to ensure that it leverages viable technology advances as it modernizes its major systems and improves its overall operational environment.

From Objective 5 of the IRS Strategic Plan:
INVEST IN INNOVATIVE, SECURE TECHNOLOGY NEEDED TO PROTECT TAXPAYER DATA AND SUPPORT TAXPAYER, PARTNER AND IRS BUSINESS NEEDS.
At the core of our operations is an IT infrastructure that has served us well for many years. We take pride in our ability to administer the Tax Code each filing season, and the strength of our IT systems and applications are a strong asset in doing so. We have implemented various initiatives in recent years to modernize our IT systems, enable daily return processing, improve the breadth of digital taxpayer services and enhance the security of our systems to successfully combat cyber threats. These efforts have been crucial to our success, and we must continue to innovate our technology systems over the next four years.
As taxpayers’ needs change, security threats increase and technologies evolve, we will invest in the appropriate technology and IT workforce skills to support and improve our operations. We will continue to reduce disparate IT systems and apply a common architecture to be more responsive to IRS business needs. We will bolster the security of our IT systems and enhance authentication capabilities to broaden digital services to taxpayers and stakeholders. Furthermore, we will apply technology to reduce our dependence on manual processing and equip our workforce with tools that improve their performance and provide greater workplace flexibility. By improving collaboration and governance between business and IT, we will ensure our technology capabilities meet the needs of taxpayers, partners and the IRS workforce.

Strategies:

• Ensure a common, robust technology and data architecture exists to improve core tax administration, support cost-effective operations and protect IRS data, systems and networks from security breaches.
• Develop the authentication capabilities and technology required to expand secure, digital services to taxpayers.
• Enable electronic workflow that reduces or eliminates manual processing.
• Further develop a flexible and agile technology environment that enables IT to better meet business needs.
• Provide our workforce with reliable, advanced technology that enhances performance and enables flexibility.

Join us on April 2, 2019 for the USPTO IT Vendor Expo, the only chance to get in front of USPTO employees at this facility in 2019! Companies specializing in IT Security products and services are invited to exhibit at this one day event.

Attendee Audience:
The event host, the IT Security Management at USPTO, and FBC will work together to promote the IT Vendor Expo to all personnel. The USPTO will be promoting the event internally through their "USPTO Weekly" newsletter and via an electronic flyer. The 2018 event brought in over 250 attendees from throughout the agency.

USPTO MISSION AND ORGANIZATION (from the USPTO Strategic Plan):

The United States is a global leader in promoting laws and policies that foster innovation and Intellectual Property (IP) rights – and in encouraging economic investment in the arts, innovation, and creativity. The USPTO Vision is to "Lead the Nation and the World in Intellectual Property Protection and Policy." The USPTO Mission is to "foster innovation , competitiveness and economic growth, domestically and abroad by delivering high quality and timely examination of patent and trademark applications, guiding domestic and international intellectual property policy, and delivering intellectual property information and education worldwide, with a highly-skilled, diverse workforce."

In the USPTO Strategic Plan, the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office outlines a vision and establishes goals, which recognize the importance of intellectual property protection in a global and technology-based economy. In concert with the USPTO Strategic Plan, this Strategic IT Plan documents the role that information technology plays in achieving the USPTO mission, vision, and goals. The SITP also defines a vision for USPTO information technology that will greatly enhance the quality of service to its customers and guide the Office of the Chief Information Officer during the FY 2015 to FY 2018 period.

The USPTO is organized to support its constitutionally-mandated business functions, with a Commissioner for Patents, a Commissioner for Trademarks, Advisory Committees, and Appeals Boards that report directly to the Director. The other offices that report directly to the Director provide support for enterprise-wide management functions. One of those is the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), which by law oversees all information technology used by the USPTO.

The offices that report directly to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) support all USPTO business areas, but manage their work by having subordinate divisions and/or segmenting their resources by business area. In addition to its purely IT function, the OCIO’s Office of Information Management Services includes divisions that manage a constitutionally-mandated business function to disseminate information about patents and trademarks to the general public.

Cross Domain Technical Forum (CDTF)

April 15 - 16, 2019

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory-Kossiakoff Center
Laurel, MD
Event Manager:Bob Jeffers bj@fbcinc.com

Leading up to 9/11, information sharing among federal agencies was weak, at best.

In efforts to address this serious and systematic flaw, a new group of technologies – called cross domain solutions – emerged to enhance the federal government’s ability to access and send information from one security-level network to another. From there, the Unified Cross Domain Services Management Office (UCDSMO) set out to help agencies work together to make better sense of all the shared information and data. UCDSMO's annual Cross Domain Technology Forum (CDTF) brings together international attendees to collaborate in real time, build partnerships, and advance technical knowledge of crucial cross domain technology. 

CDTF is the only event of its kind in the US. It pulls together Intelligence Community from groups – that are very rarely, if ever, in the same room – to talk about the latest technical topics. CDTF presents a beneficial opportunity for companies to get in touch with a unique section of the information technology world, as it impacts every branch of the Intelligence Community.

This year will be the biggest CDTF to date. Across the 2-day forum, there will be nearly 500 attendees from all over the world focused on finding solutions for Intelligence Community offices and the personnel who support them. Exhibitors and sponsors can network with the top international thinkers from:

• Air Force Research Lab
• Army
• Australian Signals Directorate
• CIA
• Coast Guard Cyber Command
• DoD
• DIA
• DISA
• FBI
• NAVAIR
• NGA
• NRO
• NSA
• Royal Canadian Air Force
• And other cross domain professionals

 

Exhibitors may attend the sessions with proper clearance. Due to venue size, space for exhibitors is extremely limited. Don’t miss out – sign up early!

FBC is excited to announce the GSA, NTSB, FAA, HUD, Dept. of Energy Technology and Vendor Expo at L'Enfant Plaza! This is a multi-agency event and, while each agency has a different mission, all are related by their civilian agency status.  

Ideally located between the National Mall and the Southwest Waterfront, L’Enfant Plaza is located within five blocks of 19 major federal agencies, making it effortless to do business in Washington.  This event is in a new location, located within the L’Enfant Metro Stop Mall, and is easily accessible to the agencies that will receive promotions for the expo. This new space is part of the community gathering place for agencies housed at L'Enfant Plaza, and provides a unique environment and atmosphere for both attendees and exhibitors. 

The "Club Room" is just off of the main hallway within the mall. Free lunch tickets will be provided for the first 100 attendees that participate.  

This event will be promoted to the FAA, NTSB, GSA, HUD, Department of Energy, USPS, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, DHS and others. Potential attendees include CIOs, CISOs, Program Managers, and Procurement Personnel.

UPDATE:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate has recently dedicated a multi-year program to address GPS vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, with a multi-pronged approach that includes engaging with industry through events as a key component. DHS is actively seeking to discover and cultivate relationships to strengthen the resilience of the nation’s critical infrastructure. If you're an exhibitor with GPS-related capabilities, this event is not to be missed.
