Attachment 5 - Non-Disclosure Agreement - 70Z03826QJ0000282.pdf

This is a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) form issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically for contract number 70Z03826QJ0000282. The agreement is designed for individuals serving as officials, employees, consultants, or subcontractors who require conditional access to sensitive government information.

The NDA establishes obligations for protecting three categories of information: Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII), Sensitive Security Information (SSI), and Other Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) information. Signatories must comply with all applicable standards for access, dissemination, handling, and safeguarding of these information categories as outlined in the Critical Infrastructure Information Act of 2002, 49 CFR Part 1520, and relevant DHS guidance. Key obligations include: acknowledging receipt of security indoctrination; maintaining special confidence and trust in protecting information from unauthorized disclosure; surrendering all materials upon engagement completion or work conclusion; not altering or removing classification markings; promptly reporting security violations; and submitting to government inspections to ensure compliance. The agreement emphasizes that violations may result in cancellation of conditional access privileges and potential administrative, disciplinary, civil, or criminal action. Signatories must also assign all royalties and emoluments resulting from any unauthorized disclosure to the United States Government. The agreement remains in effect during the period of conditional access and continues to apply thereafter unless written release is obtained from an authorized DHS representative.
