Directorate of Operations

Mobility Air Forces Command and Control (MAF C2), Knowledge Management (KM) Support

Effective 22 Jan 2013

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 Background

The Air Mobility Command (AMC) Directorate of Operations’ (A3) primary responsibility is to direct the operation of airlift, air refueling, special air missions, and aeromedical evacuations for US forces, providing efficient and effective air mobility operations for GLOBAL REACH response during peacetime, to include the full range of humanitarian, disaster relief, and contingency operations. This effort will provide the A3 with a single voice for establishing approved operational capabilities and derived requirements for all of the operational elements of air mobility to include Mobility Air Forces (MAF) Command and Control (C2). To that end, A3R has selected specific capabilities-based Knowledge Management (KM) processes and tools to assist in the processes managing the integration of MAF operational requirements into a strategic operational vision. We seek to provide the needed expertise to implement and institutionalize those processes and tools.

In addition, AMC and MAF operations are moving to leverage the fast pace of technology advancements to significantly enhance the Mobility team’s ability to plan, schedule, task, and direct the operations of

America’s air mobility forces worldwide. This effort envisions a common operating picture, real-time situational awareness, and airborne networking. A high degree of collaboration between the following will also be required: aircrews, maintenance resources, aerial ports, support forces, Air Traffic Control, threat awareness/warning nodes, the AMC Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC), Command Control Communications Computers and Intelligence (C4I) systems, and US Air Force Air and Space Operations Centers (AOCs). As the command lead on operational requirements, the AMC/A3 is charged with the development of a strategic operational enterprise vision targeting integration, modernization, and interoperability within the Joint and Department of Defense (DoD) C4I structures. The overall goal is to ensure seamless policies, processes, and systems with net-centric, global assured connectivity throughout the MAF.

1.2 Objective and Scope.

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES

SUPPORTING AMC CONTRACTS

NOTE: This Non-Disclosure Agreement is an agreement designed for use by contractor (including subcontractor) employees assigned to work on AMC contracts. Its use is designed to protect non-public government information from disclosure and prevent violations of federal statutes/regulations. The restrictions contained in this agreement also serve contractors by promoting compliant behavior that keeps contractors eligible to compete for government contracts. In addition to the potential impact on future business opportunities, failure to abide by this agreement could result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties specified by statute or regulation.

"Non-public information," as used herein, includes trade secrets, confidential or proprietary business information (as defined for government employees in 18 USC 1905); advance procurement information (future requirements, acquisition strategies, statements of work, budget/program/planning data, etc.); source selection information (quote rankings, source selection plans, contractor bid or quote information); information protected by the Privacy Act (social security numbers, home addresses, etc.); sensitive information protected from release under the Freedom of Information Act (pre-decisional deliberations, litigation materials, privileged material, etc.); and information that has not been released to the general public and has not been authorized for such release (as defined for government employees in 5 CFR 2635.703).

1. I, ____________________ currently an employee of ____________________________, hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth below:

2. I understand that I will have access to confidential business information (as defined by 18 USC 1905), contractor bid or quote information (as defined by FAR 3.104-3), and/or source selection sensitive information (as defined by FAR 3.104-3) either for contract performance or as a result of working in a AMC facility or of working near AMC personnel, contractors, visitors, etc. I fully understand that such information is sensitive and must be protected in accordance with 41 U.S. Code Section 423 and 18 U.S. Code Section 1905 and FAR Part 3. I also certify that I do not have any real or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the information disclosed. If any potential conflicts of interest, real or otherwise, do present themselves, then I shall immediately disclose the pertinent information that may be a potential conflict to an agency ethics official who shall review the circumstances.

3. In the course of performing under contract/order # _________________________ or some other contract or subcontract for the AMC I agree to:

a) Use only for government purpose any and all confidential business information, contractor bid or quote information, and/or source selection sensitive information to which I am given access. I agree not to disclose "nonpublic information" by any means (in whole or in part, alone or in combination with other information, directly or indirectly or derivatively) to any person except to a U.S. government official with a need to know or to a non-government person (including, but not limited to, a person in my company, affiliated companies, subcontractors, etc.) who has a need to know related to the immediate contract/order, has executed a valid form of this non-disclosure agreement, and receives prior clearance by the contracting officer. All distribution of the documents will be controlled with the concurrence of the contracting officer.

b) Not use such information for any non-governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, the preparation of bids or quotes, or the development or execution of other business or commercial ventures.

c) Store the information in such a manner as to prevent inadvertent disclosure or releases to individuals who has not been authorized access to it.

4. I understand that I must never make an unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential business information, contractor bid or quote information, and/or source selection sensitive information unless:

a) The information has otherwise been made available without restriction to the government, to a competing contractor, or to the public;

b) The contracting officer determines that such information is not subject to protection from release.

5. I agree that I shall not seek access to "non-public information" beyond what is required for the performance of the services I am contracted to perform. I agree that when I seek access to such information or attend meetings or communicate with other parties about such information, I will identify myself as a contractor. Should I become aware of any improper or unintentional release or disclosure of "non-public information," I will immediately report it to the contracting officer in writing. I agree that I will return all forms (including copies or reproduction of original documents) of any "non-public information" provided to me by the government for use in performing my duties to the control of the government when my duties no longer require this information. By signing below, I certify that I have read and understand the terms of this Non-Disclosure Agreement and voluntarily agree to be bound by its terms.
