While performing aboard Government sites, the Vendor shall: comply with all OPSEC instructions and policies; include OPSEC as part of its ongoing security awareness program and take all required Agency training; Be responsive to the Supporting OPSEC Manager on a non-interference basis; and Protect sensitive unclassified information and activities, which could compromise classified information or operations, or degrade the planning and execution of operations performed by the Requiring Organization and Vendor in support of the mission.

10.3 Electronic Spillage

Electronic Spillage (ES) is defined as a situation where information of higher classification than a system is authorized to process is introduced into that system, intentionally or otherwise. If a Vendor is determined to be responsible for an ES, all direct and indirect costs incurred by the Government for ES remediation will be charged to the Vendor.
