Access to classified spaces and handling of classified material shall be in accordance with DD Form 254. The security clearance of each individual must be on file with the Security Officer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division.

(1) Facility Clearance: The Contractor shall possess and maintain a SECRET facility clearance as verified within the National Industrial Security System.

(2) Physical Security: The Contractor shall be responsible for safeguarding all Government information or property provided for Contractor use. At the end of each work period, Government information, facilities, equipment and materials shall be secured as specified by the 32 CFR Part 117 and the NSWCDD Command Security Manual.

(3) Physical Security: No safeguarding of classified material is authorized at the Contractor facility. Safeguarding will only be required at the actual performance site listed in Block 13 on the DD254. Actual performance site’s security regulations and guidelines will apply.

7.1Electronic Spillage
7.1.1Electronic Spillages (ES) are unacceptable and pose a risk to national security. An electronic spillage is defined as classified data placed on an information system (IS), media or hardcopy document possessing insufficient security controls to protect the data at the required classification level, thus posing a risk to national security (e.g., sensitive compartmented information (SCI) onto collateral, Secret onto Unclassified, etc). The Contractor's performance as it relates to ES will be evaluated by the Government. ES reflects on the overall security posture of NSWCDD and a lack of attention to detail with regard to the handling of classified information of IS security discipline and will be reflected in the Contractor's performance rating. In the event that a Contractor 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 Contractor.
7.1.2NSWCDD Security will continue to be responsible for the corrective action plan in accordance with the security guidance reflected on the DOD Contract Security Classification Specification - DD254. NSWCDD Security will identify the Contractor facility and contract number associated with all electronic spillages during the investigation that involve Contractor support. NSWCDD Security will notify the Contracts Division with the Contractor facility name and contract number, incident specifics and associated costs for cleanup. The Contracting Officer will be responsible to work with the Contractor Facility to capture the costs incurred during the spillage clean up. The Contractor is also responsible for taking Information Security Awareness training annually, via their Facility Security Officer (FSO), as part of the mandatory training requirements. If a spillage occurs additional training will be required to prevent recurrence.
7.2Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs)
7.2.1Non-government and/or personally owned portable electronic devices (PEDs) are prohibited in all NSWCDD buildings with the exception of personally owned cell phones, which are authorized for use in General Office Spaces (GOS). All personnel need to be aware of PED’s policy and being permitted in a building by asking authorized personnel or reviewing the entrance area signs and instructions. The Contractor/personnel visiting shall ensure the onsite personnel remain compliant with this PED policy. NSWCDD instruction defines PEDs as the following: any electronic device designed to be easily transported, with the capability to store, record, receive or transmit text, images, video, or audio data in any format via any transmission medium. PED’s include, but are not limited to, pagers, laptops, radios, compact discs and cassette players/recorders. In addition, this includes removable storage media such as flash memory, memory sticks, multimedia cards and secure digital cards, micro-drive modules, ZIP drives, ZIP disks, CD-RWs, DVD-RWs, MP3 players, iPADs, digital picture frames, electronic book readers, kindle, nook, cameras, external hard dish drives, and floppy diskettes.

7.2.2 Personal Wearable Fitness Devices (PWFDs) marketed primarily as fitness or sleep devices are allowed in all Navy spaces, if they are compliant with NAVADMIN 216/15, where collateral non-Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), classified information is processed, stored, or discussed up to and including secret.

7.2.3 Personnel requiring the use of Medical Portable Electronic Devices (MPEDs) must submit Form NSWCDD 5239/4 for SCIF authorization to the Special Security Officer (SSO). For Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) authorizations, follow the guidance provided by the Government Special Access Program Security Officer (GSSO). Authorizations for use in SAPFs that are co-utilized within NSWCDD SCIFs require coordination between both the GSSO and SSO. For authorizations to use MPED in Collateral Classified spaces, submit form to the Special Programs Branch, Code 1053.

7.2.4 PED’s belonging to an external organization shall not be connected to NSWCDD networks or infrastructure without prior approval from the NSWCDD Information Assurance and Compliance Branch. This approval will be granted using the TARIS form and action tracker process.

Personally owned hardware or software shall not be connected or introduced to any NSWCDD hardware, network or information system infrastructure.”

Navy-issued peripheral:

Government procured headsets with or without microphones must be wired, use either a 3.5 millimeter (mm) audio jack or universal serial bus (USB) port, cannot contain active-noise cancelling functionality and may be used on systems and may be used on systems of classification up to and including collateral Top Secret. The headsets are considered unclassified when unplugged, and must be unplugged when not in use within classified spaces or when classified discussions are taking place in unclassified spaces.

Government procured Bluetooth earbuds and headsets that do not require a USB dongle or any other physical connection to enable wireless connectivity are allowed for use on government issued tablets, phones, and personal devices in telework environments or unclassified general office space where no classified discussion are occurring.

Web cameras may only be used on systems at the classification level of the space. For example, in a collateral SECRET open storage area an external web camera may be connected to the SECRET workstation only. No camera pass is required for these devices.

Government provided printers and/or scanners are authorized in a telework environment. Users must ensure that any paper or media containing controlled unclassified information (CUI) or unclassified information not authorized for public release is safeguarded by locking in a drawer, cabinet or room. CUI and unclassified information not approved for public release must be returned to the worksite for destruction.

Government issued peripherals may be used on personal devices.

While connected to any Navy network, whether on site or while in a telework environment, the use of headsets with microphones and web cameras are restricted to official government duties.

7.3 Operations Security (OPSEC)

7.3.1 Contractor personnel shall follow OPSEC concepts and principles in the conduct of this requirement to protect critical information, personnel, facilities, equipment, and operations from compromise. All Contractors (including SubContractors) shall supplement their current security practices by requiring any personnel involved in executing this contract to complete Government-sponsored and administered Operations Security (OPSEC) training. In addition, all Contractors should be aware of the Critical Information and Indicators List (CIIL) for the organization they are supporting as well as the OPSEC plan for NSWCDD. These OPSEC requirements will be in effect throughout the life of the procurement from award through the conclusion of services at the end of the period of performance (PoP) or other procurement termination. The Contractor must immediately notify the Government upon the discovery of any nonconformance with the OPSEC Plan.

7.4 Privacy Program Training

7.4.1 Privacy Program Training. Privacy training is mandatory for all NSWCDD personnel (military, civilian, and Contractor) and must be completed annually. Total Workforce Management Services (TWMS) is the official database for workforce training and is the tool for taking and recording privacy act training. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring individual annual privacy training requirements are met.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to evaluate Contractor actions while implementing this Statement of Work. It is designed to provide an effective surveillance method of monitoring Contractor performance for each listed objective, both onsite and offsite of the IWSL equipment represented in attachment Equipment List J.1.

The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the hardware maintenance provided.

This QASP is based on the premise that the Government desires to maintain the IWSL commercial equipment in good operating condition during the Principal Period of Maintenance.

The Contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The role of the Government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved.

In this contract, the quality control program is the driver for product quality. The Contractor is required to develop a comprehensive program of inspections and monitoring actions. The first major step to ensuring a “self-correcting” contract is to ensure that the quality control program approved at the beginning of the contract provides the measures needed to lead the Contractor to success.

Once the quality control program is approved, careful application of the process and standards presented in the remainder of this document will ensure a robust quality assurance program.

Performance Objective
Performance Standard
Performance Threshold
Preventative Maintenance (PM) and On-Call Remedial Maintenance (RM)
Equipment placed under maintenance service will be in good operating condition.

Preventive Maintenance (PM) shall be performed to keep the systems in good operating condition. If the equipment is not in good operating condition (i.e., not eligible for OEM maintenance), the Contractor shall repair or replace the items. The preventive maintenance and on-call remedial maintenance requires the Contractor to respond to onsite calls for service within four (4) hours and return the equipment to normal service (i.e. return the hardware and operating system to regular operation) within forty-eight (48) hours from the time service is requested. The Contractor shall provide on-call maintenance services during Principal Period of Maintenance (PPM), 0700-2100, Monday through Friday (not including Federal Government holidays).

95% of all PM and RM performed IAW SOW

SURVEILLANCE: The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will receive feedback from Government personnel and pass them to the Contractor for action.

STANDARD: 95% of all maintenance is without customer complaints for the month or service period. The COR shall notify the Contracting Officer for appropriate action in accordance with FAR 52.212.4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (February 2007) or the appropriate Inspection of Services clause, if any of the above service areas exceed five customer complaints.

PROCEDURES: Any Government employee that observes unacceptable services, either incomplete or not performed, for the above performance objective should immediately contact the COR and the COR will complete appropriate documentation to record the complaint and resolution.

SURVEILLANCE: The Government COR will evaluate the services required to ensure compliance.

STANDARD: The Contractor shall perform all work required in a satisfactory manner in accordance with the appropriate SOW paragraph. The COR shall not consider the tasking complete until all deficiencies have been corrected.

PROCEDURES: The Government COR will inspect all work tasks required to ensure Contractor compliance with the Statement of Work (SOW) each time the service(s) is performed. Record results of inspection, noting the date and time of inspection. If inspection indicates unacceptable performance, notify the Contractor of the deficiencies for correction.
