REFERENCE BLOCK 10(g); Access to NATO information (as applicable, via SIPRNet) requires a final U.S. Government clearance at the appropriate level and a NATO access briefing/debriefing. Prior approval of the Government's Contracting Activity is required to grant NATO access to a subcontractor.

REFERENCE BLOCK 10(k); The contractor shall access Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) on a bi-weekly basis to obtain comprehensive cyber intelligence, including but not limited to, the receipt, collection, analysis, and dissemination of information regarding cyber threats, vulnerabilities, national security Departmental (IT/Cyber) Operational Orders (OPORDs), Communications Tasking Orders (CTOs), and Warning Orders (WARNORDs), and secure incident communication. The threat of cyber-attacks has greatly increased over the years and it is necessary for the contractor to take all necessary steps to protect our Military OneSource members’ information from any cyber threats. The contractor shall use information acquired from the SIPRNet to continuously improve its

PREVIOUS EDITION IS OBSOLETE. Page 3 of 4DD FORM 254, APR 2018 infrastructure to secure the Military OneSource members’ information. The contractor shall attend classified (SECRET level or below) briefings, as necessary, at the Government’s facility in Alexandria, Virginia.
