CONTRACT 80GSFC21CA001 C-301.1, Foreign Travel by Contractor Employees on NASA Official Business (AUG 2025)

Contractor employees (including subcontractors) traveling internationally in support of NASA official business must obtain a country clearance via the Department of State (DOS) electronic Country Clearance (eCC) process. DOS has the authority to grant, withhold, or limit permission for any personnel to travel internationally on U.S. Government official business.

Contractor employees traveling internationally on official NASA business are required to coordinate in advance with the contracting officer’s representative (COR) and their Foreign

Travel Coordinator (FTC) prior to traveling, as DOS international travel guidance/policies, and conditions in foreign countries, are subject to change.

In order to obtain a country clearance via the eCC process, travelers must complete a NASA

Form (NF) 1908, NASA Advance Travel Notification Form (ATNF) for International Travel, and submit it to their FTC, along with a copy of the complete travel itinerary. The form must be submitted at least 30 business days prior to departure in order to obtain a DOS eCC approval. Forms submitted less than 10 business days prior to departure have a presumption of denial, and require justification signed by the Center Director or designated senior individual at the cognizant NASA Center. Travelers may request the NF1908, NASA ATNF from the their FTC. The list of Center FTCs can be accessed at https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/FTRP/SitePages/Home.aspx. (This link is behind the

NASA firewall – contact the COR to get the FTC name if not able to access).

Contractor employees on NASA foreign travel may use the International Traveler Checklist

(ITC) that provides a list of travel-related items the traveler should review prior to international travel. The traveler does not need to submit the ITC form to their FTC; the form is for the benefit of the traveler only. The Center specific ITC can be obtained from the FTC.

In addition to specifying the NASA traveler’s contact information, the eCC request must indicate that the traveler has taken the appropriate training, as follows:

Foreign Affairs Counter Threat E-Learning (eFACT): All contractor employees traveling internationally on NASA official business must complete the eFACT training course (formerly known as Counter Threat Awareness Training (CTAT)) regardless of destination. The eFACT course is available on DOS’s learning management platform, Foreign Service Institute (FSI) Student Information System

(SIS) at no cost at https://sis.fsi.state.gov/MySISWeb/s/. To register, send a completed

SF182 form (and contractor memorandum if applicable) to DS-Registrar@state.gov.

For any additional questions regarding the enrollment process, contact the DOS eFACT and CTAT course certification is valid for six years; CTAT validity is honored for individuals that completed the CTAT course prior to removal from NASA

SATERN on December 31, 2025. NASA travelers should hand-carry a copy of their https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/FTRP/SitePages/Home.aspx https://sis.fsi.state.gov/MySISWeb/s/ valid eFACT or CTAT completion certificate with them on all official international travel.

Foreign Affairs Counter Threat (FACT): Contractor employees traveling internationally in support of official NASA business are not required to complete

FACT training unless the requirement is specifically included elsewhere in this contract. However, depending on the country and other circumstances, the DOS Chief of Mission Authority may determine that this training is required for contractor employees on official U.S. Government business. The contractor must coordinate with the COR and FTC to determine if the contractor employee(s) must complete the FACT training. The FACT training is an in-person course. Travelers may go to the link below to review the most up-to-date DOS advisories prior to leaving: https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories.html. The course certification is valid for six years.

All NASA travelers are expected to comply with the current guidance and policies regarding health-related requirements in their destination country(ies), as well as the current requirements for reentry into the United States.

In accordance with NPR 2810.2, titled Possession and Use of NASA Information and

Information Systems Outside of the United States and United States Territories; NASA official international travelers must take NASA IT devices or access NASA accounts only when authorized by the Center CIO or their designee, prior to travel. Travelers should follow their Center’s international travel process in addition to this requirement statement.

Specific questions regarding foreign travel and guidance/policy updates may be directed to the FTC.

C-301.2, Counterintelligence Briefings (AUG 2025)

If a contractor or subcontractor employee is going on official NASA travel to designated countries, included on the list of current designated countries at https://oiir.hq.nasa.gov/nasaecp/index.html, Russia and/or other high intelligence-threat locations, a pre- and post-travel Counterintelligence Threat Briefing and Debriefing is required, per NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 1660.1 entitled, “NASA

Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism.” These briefings include information on the threat from foreign intelligence services, the need to protect NASA classified and sensitive information, elicitation techniques and methods, the impact to NASA when classified and/or sensitive information is lost or stolen and any current State Department advisories or warnings regarding the country(ies) to be visited.

Contractor or subcontractor employees traveling to any designated countries, Russia and/or other high intelligence-threat locations, on official NASA business should receive the threat briefings from their company’s security officials. When that is not possible or practicable, they shall contact the cognizant NASA Center Counterintelligence/Counter Terrorism https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories.html https://www.nasa.gov/oiir/export-control/

(CI/CT) office at least two weeks prior to traveling to schedule a personalized foreign travel briefing. Contractor employees shall also schedule a debriefing within one week of returning from travel. The cognizant NASA CI/CT Office can be reached at CI Point of Contact (POC)

Listing. Briefings and debriefings may be done in person, via teleconference or by phone as necessary and no paperwork is required.

C-301.4, Background Investigations (FEB 2026)

To protect the welfare of the American people, all people who work for the United States government must be reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and of complete and unswerving loyalty to the United States. Federal employees and contractors must undergo a background investigation if they require logical and physical access for more than 179 days

(in a 365-day period). The extent of the investigation will depend on the type of job and the degree of harm the person in that job could cause. Even if a job does not require a security clearance to access classified national security information, regulations require an investigation for a suitability/fitness determination.

For permanent credential requests, the identity requester will submit the request within

IdMAX. IdMAX will be the authoritative system for position designations of contractors.

NASA Office of Protective Services will contact the employee to complete the eAPP process.

An investigation is initiated for all NASA workers, commensurate with the position risk and sensitivity. Prior favorable suitability, fitness, and national security determinations will be evaluated for reciprocity for that investigation tier and lower investigation tiers. The applicant is notified to set up a Badging Appointment.

The adjudicative process is a review of a sufficient period in an individual's background and a careful weighing of several variables to ensure that the individual does not pose an unacceptable security risk. This is known as the whole-person concept. All available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, is considered in reaching an eligibility determination. Adjudications are made by certified credentialing adjudicators in accordance with suitability/fitness adjudication standards. It is imperative to be transparent and answer all questions completely and accurately, as inaccurate information may lead to an unfavorable adjudication.

C-301.5, Right to Repair (JUN 2026)

Definitions:

Right to repair means the ability of the Government to diagnose, maintain, repair, reconstruct, remanufacture, re-flash, or rebuild the product(s) delivered under the contract without waiting for the contractor to perform these tasks, and without negating any warranty clause or otherwise excusing the contractor from performance obligations. The right to repair supersedes any requirement, clause, or provision stated elsewhere in this contract that requires the contractor to attempt repair before the Government can attempt repair. The term “right of repair” can be used interchangeably with “right to repair”.

https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/ops/SitePages/CI-POC.aspx https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/ops/SitePages/CI-POC.aspx

Use, Maintenance, Repair Data and Instructions (UMRDI ) means: all documentation, data, and other information necessary to enable the Government to perform maintenance and repair such as specifications, parts, tools, schematics, software, and technical documentation necessary for internal manufacturing, repair, and operations.

To preserve NASA’s repair and operation autonomy in contracts to diagnose, maintain, repair, reconstruct, remanufacture, re-flash, or rebuild the product(s) delivered under the contract, the contractor must provide Use, Maintenance, Repair Data and Instructions (UMRDI) data in accordance with the DRD entitled, “UMRDI.” NASA may conduct these activities itself or designate another entity to perform repairs on its behalf (NASA designee) without waiting for the contractor to perform these tasks, without negating any warranties, and otherwise excusing the contractor from performance obligations. The right to repair supersedes any right stated elsewhere in this contract that requires the contractor to attempt repair before the

Government can attempt repair.

The delivery of UMRDI will be in accordance with the DRD entitled, “UMRDI”, and the rights in any UMRDI will be in accordance with FAR 52.227-14 (as modified by NFS

1852.227-14). The contractor must not impose restrictions on the use of UMRDI when it is used in accordance with the contract’s data rights terms. Additionally, no conditions shall be added nor shall any warranties applicable to this contract include language that void the warranty based on NASA or its designee’s right to repair activities. NASA or its designee will provide access to the contractor to inspect any repairs performed. Contractors must supply or provide access to NASA or its designees original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and tools necessary to complete the Government’s right to repair activities, unless prior approval is obtained for non-OEM parts or tools.

Failure to comply with these requirements may affect contractor performance ratings, result in withholding of contract payments, or render the contractor to be noncompliant to the contract requirements.
