A VAR is valid for 12 months; a VAR is required to be renewed 30 days prior to the current VAR expiring. Updated VARs are required when cleared personnel have a change to access level. A VAR cancellation must be submitted when cleared personnel are no longer performing on contract or no longer require access to classified.

Security clearance requirements for contractors accessing DOS domestic or overseas information systems shall be in accordance with 12 FAM 600. Furthermore, citizens of specifically designated human intelligence and/or technical intelligence threat countries shall not develop, modify, or perform maintenance on software developed for use on DOS computer systems without approval by DS/CTS.

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) (32 CFR Part 117) and 12 Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) 500 and 600. DS/IS/IND is responsible for reviewing contractors assigned to DOS locations.

Contract company Facility Security Officers (FSOs) shall immediately report any adverse information concerning any cleared contractor employees performing on DOS contracts to DCSA in accordance with the NISPOM and to DS/IS/IND in accordance with 12 FAM 576
