The security classification guidance for classified information needed for this effort is identified below. If any difficulty is encountered in applying this guidance or if any other contributing factor indicates a need for changes in this guidance, the contractor is authorized and encouraged to provide recommended changes; to challenge the guidance or the classification assigned to any information or material furnished or generated under this contract; and to submit any questions for interpretation of this guidance to the official identified below. Pending final decision, the information involved shall be handled and protected at the highest level of classification assigned or recommended.

This is a BIDDERS DD Form 254.

The Contractor is required to possess and maintain a SECRET Facility Security Clearance issued by the Defense Security Service (DSS) in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (DOD 5220.22-M) for the duration of this contract. If necessitated by contract requirements, the Contractor must ensure that Subcontractors maintain the appropriate facility security clearances.

Contractor personnel performing in specifically designated positions (CLINs) require U.S. citizenship and a SECRET personnel security clearance issued by Defense Security Service (DSS) prior to contract performance.

Specifically designated positions (under contract CLINs) must be eligible for access to NATO.

All U.S. citizen personnel that do not require a personnel security clearance for contract performance and all Third Country National (TCN) personnel must possess a Moderate Risk Public Trust (MRPT) certification granted by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS/SI/PSS) prior to contract performance.

All Local National (LN) personnel shall be vetted by the host country Regional Security Officer (RSO) in accordance with local standards, prior to contract performance. The contractor shall coordinate with the RSO for vetting requirements. Results shall be reported to the CO/COR, the Program Office, and the Contractor's Facility Security Officer. If a favorable determination is not rendered, the Candidate shall not perform under this Contract.

The level of security vetting required for specific labor categories or CLINs shall be in accordance with contract requirements.

NATO access allowed per contract requirements.

FINAL Secret clearances are required for NATO access. The contractor’s Facility Security Officer (FSO) will identify the individuals who are specifically designated (under contract CLINs) to have NATO access and provide NATO briefings to these individuals. The FSO will then update JPAS to reflect NATO access for these individuals and submit a VAR to DS/IS/IND. IND will notify EUR/RPM, POC phone number: (202) 647-1135, for the contractor to be added to the NATO Sub-Registry, prior to the contractor employee being given access to NATO classified. The highest level of NATO classified is at the Secret level.

Final SECRET clearances and favorable Diplomatic Security (DS) name checks are required for travel to specific HUMINT threat posts for deployments of less than 60 days (cumulative for all posts visited in a calendar year).

Interim SECRET clearances are not acceptable for travel. Long-term deployments (excess of 60 days) are not authorized.

A VAR is valid for 12 months. A renewal VAR must be submitted 30 days prior to current VAR expiration for as long as the individual is continually performing on contract. Update VARs are required when cleared personnel have a change to access level. The VAR must clearly indicate NATO indoctrination for those cleared personnel who require NATO access for contract performance. A VAR cancellation must be submitted when cleared personnel are no longer performing on contract or no longer require access to classified.

The Facility Security Officer (FSO) shall submit VAR cancellations within 72 hours of contract departure to DSIND_PSD@state.gov. The FSO shall also submit cancellation notifications within 72 hours when personnel issued a public trust certification depart contract performance.

All DD Forms 254 for proposed subcontractors shall be forwarded to DS/IS/IND for certification and generation by DS/IS/IND prior to issuance to the subcontractor and prior to access to any classified information or

DD Forms 254 issued by DS/IS/IND will be forwarded to the prime for distribution to subcontractors. Contractors are not authorized to issue their own subcontract DD Forms 254.

While at DOS locations, the contractor shall comply with applicable DOS regulations relative to protection of classified and/or sensitive information, including the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) and 12 Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) 500 and 600. DS/IS/IND is responsible for reviewing contractors assigned to DOS locations.

Security clearance requirements for contractors accessing DOS domestic or overseas information systems shall be in accordance with 12 FAM 600.

MINIMUM PERSONNEL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIFIC

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE THREAT POSTS

CONTRACT NUMBER:

Contractor personnel who will perform tasks at specific human intelligence (HUMINT) threat posts must meet specific requirements based on 12 FAM 570. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will notify the contractor when a task order is being issued for a specific HUMINT threat post. The contractor should immediately coordinate with DS/IS/IND to initiate the appropriate Diplomatic Security (DS) reviews for those individuals who are proposed to deploy to those posts.

1) Personnel traveling to specific HUMINT threat posts for short-term visits (less than 60 days cumulative in a “12-month period” for all posts) must have a minimum FINAL SECRET clearance and a favorable DS name check prior to deployment. INTERIM SECRET clearances are not acceptable for such travel. DS name checks will be conducted in conjunction with electronic country clearance request processing.

2) Personnel traveling in excess of 60 days must possess a final TOP SECRET personnel security clearance, based on a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) conducted within the past five years, and undergo a DS Acceptability Review (A/R) and DS name check prior to approval for deployment. Personnel currently undergoing SSBI-Periodic Reviews (5 year updates) with Defense Security Service are not eligible for an A/R and should not be nominated for long-term assignment to HUMINT threat posts until their SSBI-PR has been favorably adjudicated and an updated Visit Authorization Request (VAR) submitted.

3) For those personnel who do not have a previous A/R, the contractor will be invited by DS/IS/IND to electronically submit the A/R via the Office of Personnel Management’s Electronic Questionnaire for Investigation Processing (e-QIP). e-QIP is a secure website that can be accessed from any computer system that has an Internet connection. In order to begin this process, the following information must be submitted by the Facility Security Officer, via email to DS_IND_OBOTeam@state.gov

SUBJECT Line of email: Acceptability Review for LAST, First-Country

Name Social Security Number Date of Birth and Place of Birth

Job Title Email address City/country for this trip

4) Upon receipt of the above, DS/IS/IND will:

initiate a DS name check to determine whether the individual could be eligible for deployment while the Acceptability Review is pending, initiate the Acceptability Review with DS/SI/PSS, notify the contractor and the COR of interim approval for deployment while results of the A/R are pending. Conversely, notify the contractor and the COR of interim denials. In these cases, deployment cannot begin until the A/R is favorably adjudicated, and notify the COR and contractor of the final results, upon adjudication of the A/R.

5) DS/IS/IND maintains a record of previous A/Rs and deployment records to specific HUMINT threat posts and will determine if a previous A/R is still valid for deployment. For those individuals who have a valid A/R, DS/IS/IND will accomplish the following:

DS Name Check Notify the contractor and the COR of approval/disapproval for deployment

6) Personnel approved for deployment while an A/R is pending can be immediately deployed. However, if the Acceptability Review is ultimately adjudicated unfavorably, upon notification by the COR, the individual must be immediately removed from the post at no expense to the U.S. Government.

7) Personnel not approved for immediate deployment may be assigned to non-specific HUMINT threat posts until the A/R has been completed and adjudicated. If the Acceptability Review is unfavorably adjudicated, the individual will not be authorized for future deployments to specific HUMINT threat posts, and may not be authorized for further performance on this contract.
