4.1.1In the case of an unclassified contract that requires no access to Classified Military Information (CMI), but that does require access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), NAWCWD Restricted Areas, and/or Government Information Technology (IT) systems, contractors are required to comply with (non- National Industrial Security Program) non-NISP processing requirements before local access to CUI, Restricted Areas, and IT can be granted. This process shall be coordinated by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) through the NAWCWD Industrial Security office.
4.2IT Security: Access to CUI, For Official Use Only (FOUO), and/or Government IT Systems
4.2.1Information Security. Direct Support contractor personnel working under the purview of a Department of the Navy (DoN) Commanding Officer/Commander shall comply with the local security provisions and the requirements of Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) M-5510.36 (series). The contractor shall implement and maintain security procedures and controls to prevent unauthorized disclosure of CUI and to control distribution of CUI in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22-M, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and SECNAV M-5510.36 For Official Use Only information generated and/or provided under this contract shall be marked and safeguarded as specified in Department of Defense Manual (DoDM) 5200.01, Information Security Program Manual (Volume 4) available at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/520001_vol4.pdf . Contractor shall not store or transmit CUI on personal information technology systems or via personal e-mail. Unclassified e-mail containing any DoD CUI shall be encrypted. Prior to sending CUI to any non-Navy Marine Corps Internet (NMCI) addressees, the sender must first positively verify all recipients are authorized access to CUI and have need-to-know. Non-NMCI recipients must have a DoD compliant Private Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate that enables electronic transmission via unclassified networks while protecting the CUI with a digital signature and encryption.
4.3Operations Security (OPSEC)

3) Establishment of OPSEC education and awareness training.

4) Provisions for management, annual review, and evaluation of OPSEC programs.

5) Flow down of OPSEC requirements to subcontractors when applicable.

4.4Public Disclosure of Information
4.4.1Public Release. Disclosure of information is covered by Defensed Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7000 Disclosure of Information, incorporated in Section I of the contract.
