Emergency Communications and Services. If assigned to TYAD for (7) seven days or longer, contractors and subcontractor employees will enroll in the ALERT! Mass Warning
Notification System (MWNS). Common Access Card (CAC) is required to register for ALERT!.
If a CAC has not been deemed necessary for the contractor or subcontractor, the COR will provide the necessary information to TYADs Antiterrorism Officer or TYADs Emergency Manager in the Security Operations Branch for manual input into the ALERT! System.
ALERT! MWNS is NOT optional - it is a Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) requirement to be a registered user.
Due to the life-safety implications of the information being relayed and the requirement to provide immediate alerts and warnings, personnel assigned to TYAD must ensure that their personal contact information, including after-duty hours contact information, as appropriate (e.g., personal cellular phone numbers or landline phone numbers), e-mail addresses, home address, etc., are entered into the system and regularly updated or verified every 90 days to remain current and accurate.
In the event of a life-threatening emergency or natural disaster, COR will account for assigned contractors. COR will send personnel accountability report to Emergency Operations Center
(EOC).
Base closure announcements will be disseminated via ALERT! MWNS.
Antiterrorism (AT) Level I Training. In accordance with AR 525-13, all contractor and subcontractor employees requiring access to Army installations, facilities, or controlled access areas shall complete AT Level I awareness training annually. This training must be completed prior to being granted installation access and beginning work. The contractor is responsible for ensuring this requirement is met and for providing certificates of completion for each employee to the COR upon request. The web-based training is available at https://jko.jten.mil (Course: JS-US007).
AT Level I and iWATCH training is not required to be in person. While in-person training is an option, the most common and widely accepted method is web-based. Army regulations explicitly provide multiple ways to meet the training requirement to ensure flexibility for all personnel, regardless of their location or access to a classroom setting.
iWATCH Army Training. This training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 30 calendar days after contract award. Contractors and all associated sub-contractors will be briefed by the TYAD Antiterrorism/Force Protection officer. It is recommended this training be conducted as part of an initial entry briefing or unit/organization newcomer’s briefings. Send training requests to TYADs Antiterrorism Officer. Contractor employee training will be documented on a local form.
Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures. Contractor and all associated sub-contractor employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by https://jko.jten.mil/ government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by TYAD Law Enforcement. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy.
Contractor and all associated sub-contractor employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190- 13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the government representative), or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status of forces agreements and other theater regulations.
A background check and approval from TYAD Law Enforcement is required for all contractor and subcontractor personnel prior to on-site access at TYAD. All persons seeking entrance to TYAD shall submit to and comply with all security standards and requirements in force at the time such persons are seeking entry. All contractors, regardless of resident status or citizenship, will be subject to vehicle search and intense in-processing by TYAD security personnel prior to being granted access to TYAD. This requirement is inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel that the contractor anticipates will be performing work or visiting on-site. This security screening process may be time consuming, and access may be delayed or denied. COR will provide specifics to the contractor after award and at least ten days prior to the expected visit date for completion.
This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening. Contractor workers will not be granted access to the work site until security screening is completed and access is approved. Any contractor personnel on-site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD. Ensure undocumented workers are not included in contracted work related to Army missions.
The company will ensure that its employees entering Army-controlled installations or facilities have obtained access badges and passes in accordance with facility regulations and that these badges and passes are obtained in advance so as not to delay the accomplishment of contracted services.
Pre-Bid Site Visit Controls: Any pre-bid site visits held before the contract award will be conducted under strict security controls. These protocols—including mandatory pre-registration for baseline vetting and constant escorting—apply to all potential bidders, regardless of any previous work history with TYAD or current installation access. During this public solicitation phase, a contractor's prior access or familiarity with the installation does not grant them a "need-to-know" for a new requirement. All bidders will be treated as external entities, and the site visit is strictly for a visual inspection of physical conditions only.
Post-Award Information Release: Conversely, all project specifics—including exact locations, detailed plans, and mission context—can and must be provided to the contractor only after the contract is awarded and their personnel have completed all mandatory security training (AT, OPSEC, CUI). At this stage, the contractor has an established "lawful government purpose," and the controlled release of detailed information is appropriate and necessary for the performance of the contract.
For contractors that do not require CAC, but require access to a DoD facility or installation:
Contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13);
applicable installation, facility and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by Government representative); or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status-of-forces agreements and other theater regulations.
Collection of Badges: The Contractor shall account for all forms of Government-provided identification (even visitor badges) issued to the Contractor employees in connection with performance under this contract. The Contractor shall return such identification to the issuing agency at the earliest of any of the following, unless otherwise determined by the Government:
1. When no longer needed for contract performance
2. Upon completion of the Contractor employee’s employment
3. Upon contract completion or termination
The Contracting Officer may delay final payment under a contract if the Contractor fails to comply with these requirements. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph, in all subcontracts when the subcontractor’s employees are required to have routine physical access to a federally controlled facility and/or routine access to a federally controlled information system. It shall be the responsibility of the prime Contractor to return such identification to the issuing agency in accordance with the terms set forth in of this section, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. The company will return all issued U.S. Government Common Access Cards, installation badges, and/or access passes to the COR when the contract is completed or when a contractor employee no longer requires access to the installation or facility. Contractor personnel will obtain a vehicle pass for access to the military installation and Common Access Cards for computer access, if applicable.
Operations Security (OPSEC). OPSEC is mandatory for all and is not a one-time checklist, it is a dynamic, ongoing process embedded in every phase of planning, execution, and daily operations. It requires continuous critical thinking and vigilance from everyone who interacts with government information or operates on a government installation. This includes military personnel, Department of Defense civilians, contractors, subcontractors, and family members.
OPSEC is not just a policy, it’s a mindset. Its success depends on consistent awareness and execution by every member of the TYAD community.
At TYAD, all observations, communications, and experiences must be protected and must not be shared with anyone lacking a lawful government purpose or a validated business need-to-know. This disciplined approach ensures that emerging threats, evolving vulnerabilities, and shifting mission parameters are constantly reassessed and addressed to safeguard critical information.
OPSEC applies across the full spectrum of DoD missions, functions, programs, and activities under this contract. Practicing OPSEC daily is a requirement that is essential to mission success and the protection of national security assets.
Failure to properly safeguard sensitive or classified information—whether through negligence, willful misconduct, or ignorance—may result in administrative, disciplinary, contractual, or criminal consequences.
Mandatory Annual OPSEC Training Requirements. In accordance with AR 530-1 (4-2-a), all contractors and subcontractors shall complete OPSEC Level I certification training annually (Initial and Continual – detailed below).
The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) serves as the oversight authority: the COR verifies contractual compliance by collecting and reviewing certificates, ensuring they’re submitted within the required timeframe – first 30 days of assignment.
According to AR 530-1 (para 4-2) and DoDM 5205.02, there is no “grace period” or minimum number of days on-site before OPSEC Level I Initial and Continual training becomes mandatory—any contractor, subcontractor, or support‐service provider who requires access to TYAD information, systems, or facilities must complete both parts of their OPSEC Level I training.
OPSEC Level I training is comprised of two parts (Initial and Continual):
1. OPSEC Level I Initial training (annual):
o To be completed within first 30 days of assignment to TYAD and annually thereafter – preferably before the job starts o Provides specific information about TYADs OPSEC program o Contractors and subcontractors must set up an appointment with TYADs OPSEC Officer for Initial training. The COR will provide the necessary point of contact to schedule this training.
o Conducted by TYAD’s OPSEC officer or alternate – training can be in person or via MS Teams (30 minutes) and is tracked by a TYADs OPSEC Officer via a local training form
2. OPSEC Level I Continual training (annual):
o Commonly referred to as annual OPSEC training o To be completed within 30 days of assignment to TYAD and annually thereafter – preferably before the job starts o Provides general information about OPSEC and reemphasizes sound OPSEC practices throughout the contract period o Title of the training is: “OPSEC Awareness for Military Members, DoD Employees and Contractors” and is available online -https://securityawareness.dcsa.mil/opsec/index.htm o Certificates of completion must go to the COR
OPSEC Measures to Protect Critical Information. All personnel are required to protect critical information at all times and in all forms. This section is critical because it moves beyond a simple, vague requirement to “practice OPSEC” and provides the contractor with specific, actionable, and enforceable rules of behavior.
All contractors and subcontractors shall implement the following mandatory OPSEC measures during the entire period of performance to protect critical and sensitive unclassified information:
1. Training and Compliance: Complete all mandatory OPSEC training as specified in this contract and actively apply all TYAD OPSEC measures in daily, contract-related operations.
2. Secure Communications: Avoid discussing government operations in public spaces or over unprotected communications (e.g., personal cell phones). Transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) only through authorized, encrypted channels as directed in the SOW/PWS = DoD Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) is the accredited method for sending files that contain CUI, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), or other sensitive data that should not be transmitted over unencrypted, commercial email channels. The files are encrypted during the transfer process.
3. Public Release and Social Media Prohibition: Do not disclose or post any images, data, or operational details (e.g., maps, pictures, schedules, equipment, tactics) to any unofficial media, including personal or corporate social media platforms. All information or materials intended for public release require a documented OPSEC review by a TYAD certified OPSEC Level II reviewer. Coordinate all press releases through the COR and TYADs Public Affairs Office.
4. Reporting Requirements: Immediately report any attempts by unauthorized third parties to solicit sensitive information to the TYAD Security Operations Branch, the contract POC, and the contractor's Facility Security Officer (FSO).
5. Credential Control: Conceal or remove all government-issued badges and identification when off the installation. Do not duplicate, loan, or leave credentials unattended (CACs, badges, and/or parking passes or placards). Report any lost or stolen passes/badges/credentials to TYAD Law Enforcement Branch. The COR will provide all POC contact information.
6. Protection of Sensitive Data: Mark and protect internal company data related to this contract (e.g., schedules, deliverables, vulnerability reports) as CUI. All government-provided information, such as drawings and technical data, must be protected in https://securityawareness.dcsa.mil/opsec/index.htm accordance with DoD, Army guidance and guidance within contract package documents.
7. Information Disposal: At contract completion or upon Government request, return all government information to the COR or destroy it in accordance with approved TYAD procedures for handling CUI.
Photography or Videography. Contractors and subcontractors who take photos or video at TYAD must notify their COR at least fourteen business (14) days in advance and complete OPSEC Level I Initial training. The COR will provide the contractor with the security branch’s points of contact after the contract is awarded. All individuals must follow TYAD policy regarding photography/videography and the use of personal electronic devices.
All photos and videos must undergo an OPSEC Review—per AR 530-1 Chapter 4—to evaluate them against TYAD’s Critical Information List and identify any vulnerabilities. That review must be fully documented and signed off by a TYAD employee who holds OPSEC Level II certification before disseminated.
COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY (COMSEC) (If applicable) All telephonic and electronic communications with DoD organizations are subject to Communications Security (COMSEC) review and monitoring. The contractor is advised that any calls placed to or received from a DoD organization may be subject to monitoring and recording. The contractor shall ensure frequent dissemination of this notice to all employees who communicate with DoD personnel.
Information Security (INFOSEC). The contractor shall comply with all applicable regulations for the protection of government information. Information handled under this contract is categorized as either Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Classified National Security Information (CNSI).
