      Please be advised of an upcoming adjustment related to Professional Services contracting where the dollar threshold for requiring an overhead audit will be increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Under this revised threshold, firms may enter into Professional Services contracts with fees below $1,000,000 per project without the requirement to obtain an overhead audit from an independent CPA.

      This change is intended to reduce administrative burden, support small business participation, and streamline contract execution for projects within this range.

      Notice to Consultants Requesting Indirect Cost Rate Approval

      Posted: January 26, 2024

      In an effort to protect the information technology environment of the Florida Department of Transportation, we want to make our business partners aware of a serious vulnerability with the Ivanti/Pulse Secure VPN products. On Friday, January 19th, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure & Security Administration (CISA) issued an emergency directive of a zero-day cyber-attack targeting the Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure VPN appliances. Breaches of these devices could allow a malicious actor to compromise targets by moving to other devices in the network, exfiltrating data, and establishing permanent system access to allow future access and damage. This linked article from Volexity also provides a good overview of this issue. Because a compromise in one network can lead to compromises in other networks where people and devices interconnect, we are checking with our partners on their use of the Ivanti products.

      If your company uses any Pulse Secure, or Ivanti Connect Secure (version 9.x.x or 22.x.x) VPN products, please make sure you have followed instructions and used the tools from Ivanti to test for breach on your system.

      If a breach was indicated, we ask that you stop any connectivity to the FDOT network until the issue has been remediated. A system is considered remediated once you have followed the steps in the Ivanti Recover Article. Additional details and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that would be useful are: Active Exploitation of Two Zero-Day Vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure VPN and 1,700 Ivanti VPN devices compromised.

      You may reach out to the FDOT Information Security Office at [email protected] for more information.

      Fraudulent Email Notifications
      In support of the Agency’s paperless initiative, FDOT began use of an electronic signature application in August 2016, for purposes of executing contract documents. While new technology offers opportunities for process improvements, it may inevitably also present opportunities for phishing scams. Click here for information on what to do when you receive notifications to electronically sign a contract document from FDOT, to avoid becoming the victim of a phishing scam.
