Nongovernment entities may include architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, utilities, and others submitting an offer or bid to GSA, or performing work under a GSA contract or subcontract. Recipient contractors must be registered as “active” in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at www.sam.gov and have a legitimate business need to know such information.

Public safety entities such as fire and utility departments may require access to SBU building information on a need to know basis. This clause must not prevent or encumber the dissemination of SBU building information to public safety entities.

c. Dissemination of SBU building information:

(i) By electronic transmission. Electronic transmission of SBU information outside of the

GSA network must use session encryption (or alternatively, file encryption). Encryption must be via an approved NIST algorithm with a valid certification, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules per GSA policy.

(ii) By nonelectronic form or on portable electronic data storage devices. Portable electronic data storage devices include, but are not limited to CDs, DVDs, and USB drives.

Nonelectronic forms of SBU building information include paper documents, among other formats.

1) By mail. Contractors must utilize only methods of shipping that provide services for monitoring receipt such as track and confirm, proof of delivery, signature confirmation, or return receipt.

2) In person. Contractors must provide SBU building information only to authorized recipients with a need to know such information. Further information on authorized recipients is found in Section 2 of this clause.

d. Record keeping. Contractors must maintain a list of all entities to which SBU is disseminated, in accordance with sections 2 and 3 of this clause. This list must include at a minimum: (1) the name of the State, Federal, or local government entity, utility, or firm to which SBU has been disseminated; (2) the name of the individual at the entity or firm who is responsible for protecting the SBU building information, with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a legitimate business need to know such information; (3) contact information for the named individual; and (4) a description of the SBU building information provided. Once “as built” drawings are submitted, the contractor must collect all lists maintained in accordance with this clause, including those maintained by any subcontractors and/or suppliers, and submit them to the CO. For Federal buildings, final payment may be withheld until the lists are received.

e. Safeguarding SBU documents. SBU building information (both electronic and paper formats) must be protected, with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a legitimate business need to know such information. GSA contractors and subcontractors must not take SBU building information outside of GSA or their own facilities or network, except as necessary for the performance of that contract. Access to the information must be limited to those with a legitimate business need to know.

f. Destroying SBU building information. When no longer needed, SBU building information must be destroyed so that marked information is rendered unreadable and incapable of being restored, in accordance with guidelines provided for media sanitization within GSA CIO IT Security 06-32, Media Sanitization Guide and Appendix A of NIST Special Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization. Alternatively, SBU building information may be returned to the CO.

g. Notice of disposal. The contractor must notify the CO that all SBU building information has been returned or destroyed by the contractor and its subcontractors or suppliers in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of this clause, with the exception of the contractor's record copy. This notice must be submitted to the CO at the completion of the contract to receive final payment. For leases, this notice must be submitted to the CO at the completion of the lease term. The contractor may return the SBU documents to the CO rather than destroying them.

h. Incidents. All improper disclosures of SBU building information must be immediately reported to the CO at rhonda.pretlow@gsa.gov. If the contract provides for progress payments, the CO m at rhonda.pretlow@gsa.gov. If the contract provides for progress payments, the CO may withhold approval of progress payments until the contractor provides a corrective action plan explaining how the contractor will prevent future improper disclosures of SBU building information. Progress payments may also be withheld for failure to comply with any provision in this clause until the contractor provides a corrective action plan explaining how the contractor will rectify any noncompliance and comply with the clause in the future.

i. Subcontracts. The contractor and subcontractors must insert the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.

III.I. Non-Compliance with Contract Requirements
