Pre-Award Access

This section concerns the release of classified information to the contractor prior to the award of a DLA classified contract. DLA classified information may only be released to the Contractor for submission preparation purposes following verification of the Contractor’s facility clearance and safeguarding. The DD Form 254 shall act as security guidance for the safeguarding of program-related classified information at the Contractor facility. The DCSA maintains security cognizance of classified information stored at a Contractor facility. However, the following stipulations apply:

• IAW NISPOM paragraphs 5-200 and 5-600, Contractors shall ensure full written accounting and control over all DLA classified information provided to the Contractor by DLA or created as copies by the Contractor.

• IAW NISPOM paragraphs 5-501 and 5-502, distribution of DLA classified information shall only be made to those cleared Contractor personnel working on the Contractor’s response to the request for information, unless otherwise authorized by the Program Manager (PM).

• IAW NISPOM paragraph 5-509, for purposes of this submission request, further distribution of DLA classified information shall only be authorized by the DLA PM overseeing this request for information.

• IAW NISPOM paragraphs 5-702, 5-703, and 5-704, all classified information provided for use in submission preparation shall be returned to DLA or destroyed.

Reference Item 6: Issuance of this DD Form 254 does not alone permit access to classified information by the contractor identified in Block 6. Access to classified information is contingent upon a Facility Clearance (FCL), active and in good standing, favorably adjudicated by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. A DD Form 254 issued to a contractor not in possession of a FCL may be used by the government contracting activity as justification to initiate the FCL sponsorship process. The contractor is only permitted to work on unclassified portions of the contract pending the issuance of a favorable FCL.

Reference Item 10.j: See Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Supplement. The Contractor is required to provide the supplement to all uncleared Subcontractors requiring access to CUI information.

Reference Item 11.c: The Contractor has a responsibility to understand and use all applicable Security Classification Guidance (SCG) provided by the government (reference NISPOM 4- 102). The DLA has provided a list below of necessary SCGs required to conduct derivative classification. The Contractor shall request the required SCGs from the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or designated representative. DLA has the obligation to review existing guidance periodically during the performance stages of the contract and to issue a revised DD Form 254 when a change to the SCGs occurs or when additional SCGs are needed (reference NISPOM Chapter 4, Section 103b.). All classified information received or generated is the property of the U.S. Government. At the termination or expiration of this contract, the GCA will be contacted for proper disposition instructions. The Contractor shall flow-down required SCGs on its Subcontractor DD Form 254s and shall provide copies of the SCGs to its Subcontractor. The following security classification guidance applies:

1. Defense Logistics Agency Security Classification Guide 171120

2. Other Security Classification Guides will be provided as required.

A lack of response from the DLA program office does not constitute as public release authorization. The Prime Contractor shall not release information to the public prior to receiving written authorization from the DLA program office (this requirement includes any information system that provides public access).

Reference Item 13:

Per the SCG, acceptance testing has the potential for generating Classified at the Secret level.

CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT

1. Definitions.

a. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls. However, CUI does not include classified information.

b. Dual Citizenship. A dual citizen is a citizen of two nations. For the purposes of this document, an individual must have taken an action to obtain or retain dual citizenship.

Citizenship gained as a result of birth to non-U.S. parents or by birth in a foreign country to U.S.

parents thus entitling the individual to become a citizen of another nation does not meet the criteria of this document unless the individual has taken action to claim and to retain such citizenship.

c. National of the United States. Title 8, U.S.C. Section 1101(a)(22), defines a National of the U.S. as:

(1) A citizen of the United States, or,

(2) A person who, but not a citizen of the U.S., owes permanent allegiance to the U.S.

NOTE: 8 U.S.C. Section 1401, paragraphs (a) through (g), lists categories of persons born in and outside the U.S. or its possessions that may qualify as Nationals and Citizens of the U.S. This subsection should be consulted when doubt exists as to whether or not a person can qualify as a National of the U.S.

d. U.S. Person. Any form of business enterprise or entity organized, chartered, or incorporated under the laws of the United States or its possessions and trust territories and any person who is a citizen or national (see National of the United States) of the United States, or permanent resident of the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

2. Access.

a. No person may have access to information designated as CUI unless that person has been determined to have a valid need for such access in connection with the accomplishment of a lawful and authorized Government purpose. The final responsibility for determining whether an individual has a valid need for access to information designated as CUI rests with the individual who has authorized possession, knowledge, or control of the information, not with the prospective recipient.

b. e. When CUI is to be provided to or generated by DoD contractors, the controls and protective measures to be applied shall be described in the pertinent contract documents (e.g., contract clause; statement of work; or DD Form 254, “Department of Defense Contract Security Classification Specification”). Solicitations and contracts shall use a non-disclosure of information clause that prohibits release of unclassified information to the public without approval of the contracting activity (e.g., clause 252.204-7000 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement). The clause shall also be made applicable to subcontractors.

c. ALL DoD unclassified information MUST BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR

RELEASE through standard DoD Component processes before it is provided to the public (including via posting to publicly accessible websites) in accordance with DoDD 5230.09, Clearance of DoD Information for Public Release, and other applicable regulations. Unclassified information previously approved for release to the public may be shared with any foreign government or organization.

d. Release or disclosure of CUI to foreign governments or international organizations shall be in accordance with DoDD 5230.20, Visits and Assignments of Foreign Nationals, DLAI 5230.01, Foreign Visit and Foreign Disclosure Program, and other policy and procedures that may be established by the USD(P) and the Defense Logistics Agency.

e. Some CUI is export-controlled information which may additionally be protected by law, Executive order, regulation, or contract. DoD officials must pay particular attention to export control regulations and to access restrictions on each type of CUI to ensure compliance with export requirements, especially when non-U.S. citizens are assigned to or visit their organizations.

f. Release or disclosure of CUI to non-U.S. citizens employed by the Department of Defense is permitted, provided access is within the scope of their assigned duties; access would further the execution of a lawful and authorized DoD mission or purpose and would not be detrimental to the interests of the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government; there are no contract restrictions prohibiting access; and the access complies with the requirements of export control regulations, as applicable. In such cases, the non-U.S. citizen shall execute a nondisclosure agreement approved by appropriate DoD Component authorities.

g. CUI may be identified in security classification guides to ensure the information receives appropriate protection. If the security classification guide is subsequently cancelled, a separate memorandum or other guidance document may be issued to identify the declassified information, if any, that qualifies as CUI as well as any CUI previously cited in the guide.

h. For unauthorized disclosures of CUI, no formal security inquiry or investigation is required.

However, the contractor must notify DLA of any incidents pertaining to unauthorized disclosures of CUI and appropriate management action shall be taken to fix responsibility for unauthorized disclosure of CUI whenever feasible or required by other guidance, and appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken against those responsible.

i. Non-Sensitive Positions (ADP/IT-III positions). Non-sensitive positions associated with

CUI are found at Contractor facilities processing such information on their (Contractor's) unclassified computer systems. All unclassified computer systems will be protected in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012, Safeguarding of Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting and NIST SP 800-171, with access to CUI conducted in accordance with applicable policy. Personnel nominated to occupy ADP/IT-III designated positions must have at least a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI). The Contractor shall contact DLA Office of Personnel Security at DIPersonnelSecurity(PERSEC)Operations@dla.mil, and provide the requested information. DLA Office of Personnel Security will assist the Contractor complete the necessary paperwork and fingerprints.

3. Identification Markings. CUI shall be marked in accordance with DoDI 5200.48.

4. Handling. Storage of CUI outside of Contractor facilities (i.e. residence, telework facility, hotel, etc.) shall be in a locked room, drawer, filing cabinet, briefcase, or other storage device, to prevent the access to the material by unauthorized individuals. Continuous storage of CUI outside of a Contractor facility shall not exceed 30 days unless government approval is granted.

5. Transmission/Dissemination/Reproduction.

a. Subject to compliance with official distribution statements, CUI markings (e.g., Export Control, Proprietary Data) and/or Non-Disclosure Agreements which may apply to individual items in question; authorized Contractors, consultants and grantees may transmit/disseminate CUI information to each other, other DoD Contractors and DoD officials who have an authorized, lawful government purpose in connection with any DoD authorized contract, solicitation, program or activity. The government Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) will confirm with the Contracting Officer's Representative or Task Order Monitor authorized, lawful government purpose when required. Contractors shall employ Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Public Key (PK) enabling technologies for the electronic transmission of CUI. The following general guidelines apply:

(1) In accordance with DoD Instruction 5200.48, “Controlled Unclassified Information,” external electronic data transmissions of CUI shall be only over secure communications means approved for transmission of such information.

(2) Encryption of e-mail to satisfy this requirement shall be in accordance with DoD Instruction 8582.01, “Security of Unclassified DoD Information on Non-DoD Information Systems,” June 6, 2012, being accomplished by use of DoD approved Public Key Infrastructure Certification or by the company’s participation in the “Federal Bridge.”

b. Failure of the Contractor to encrypt CUI introduces significant risks to the DLA mission.

It is essential for the Contractor to understand that mitigation options that are available. The Contractor must understand that failure to encrypt CUI carries with it certain risks to the mission.

These risks can be mitigated with the thoughtful application of processes, procedures, and technology. Some of the available mitigation tools include:

(1) Approved DoD PKI/CAC hardware token certificates or DoD trusted software certificates for encrypting data in transport.

(2) Industry best practice of Virtual Private Network (VPN) Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) for intra-organization transport.

(3) Industry best practice of Secure Sockets Layer Portal Web Services for document sharing and storage.

(4) Approved DoD standard solutions for encrypting data at rest.

(5) Approved DoD E-Collaboration services via DLA Portal or Defense Information

Systems Agency (DISA) Network Centric Enterprise Services (NCES).

(6) Any FIPS 140-2 validated encryption [e.g., IPSEC, Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS), Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions

(S/MIME)].

(7) Procure and employ Secure Telephone Equipment (STE).

(8) Procure and employ secure facsimile (FAX) capability.

(9) Utilize secure VTC capabilities.

(10) Hand-carry CUI.

(11) Utilize mailing through U.S. Postal Service.

(12) Utilize overnight express mail services.

c. The NIST SP 800-171 identifies the baseline CUI system security requirements for industry established by Part 2002 of Title 32, CFR. Additionally, Section 252.204-7012 of the DFARS specifies a waiver process for defense contractors in accordance with NIST SP 800-171 for contractor IT or networks. Additional information can be found in DoDI 5200.48, Controlled Unclassified Information.

d. Reproduction of CUI may be accomplished on unclassified copiers within designated government or Contractor reproduction areas.

6. Storage. During working hours, reasonable steps shall be taken to minimize the risk of access by unauthorized personnel (e.g., not reading, discussing, or leaving CUI information unattended where unauthorized personnel are present). After working hours, CUI information may be stored in unlocked containers, desks, or cabinets if contract building security is provided. If such building security is not provided or is deemed inadequate, the information shall be stored in locked desks, file cabinets, bookcases, locked rooms, etc.

7. Disposition.

a. When no longer required, CUI shall be returned to the DLA office that provided the information or destroyed by any of the following means:

a. Burning (Use of burn bags and an authorized burn facility)

b. Cross-cut shredding (Shredders must be listed on the NSA Evaluated Products

List)

c. Any method approved for the destruction of classified material.

b. Removal of the CUI status can only be accomplished by the government originator. The

DLA COR shall review and/or coordinate with proper authority the removal of CUI status for information in support of contract activity.
