[If applicable.] The contractor shall develop an OPSEC Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) or OPSEC Plan within 90 calendar days of contract award, to be reviewed and approved by the responsible Government OPSEC officer, per AR 530-1, Operations Security. This SOP/Plan will include the organization’s critical information, why it needs to be protected, where it is located, who is responsible for it, and how to protect it. In addition, the contractor shall identify an individual who will be an OPSEC Coordinator. The contractor will ensure this individual becomes OPSEC Level II certified as per AR 530-1.

Operations Security Training. In accordance with AR 530-1, Operations Security, (4-2-a) OPSEC Level I certification training. The target audience for Level I is all personnel (which includes Soldiers, civilians, and contractors). Level I training is composed of both initial and continual (annual) awareness training and both shall be completed prior to contract report date.

1. Initial OPSEC awareness training. All newly assigned personnel within the first 30 days of arrival in the organization (this includes accessions and initial entry programs) must receive initial training. It is recommended this training be conducted as part of an initial entry briefing or unit/organization newcomer’s briefings. This training is provided by TYADs OPSEC officer and can be conducted via distance learning, providing all necessary objectives are met.

Initial training focuses on TYAD-specific critical information and countermeasures. Contractors must email TYADs OPSEC Officer to schedule OPSEC Level I Initial training (in person or via MS Teams). Initial training may not be “read and initial”.

2. Continuous (annual) OPSEC awareness training. OPSEC awareness training must be continually provided to the workforce, reemphasizing the importance of sound OPSEC practices.

OPSEC Level I Continuous (annual) training is available at the following website:

https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm

The contractor shall submit OPSEC Level I Continual (annual) certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee, to the COR (before the contract report date) within 10 calendar days after completion of training. Completion of training may be documented on an ELTY 583, TYAD On-Post Training Record or contractor equivalent.

OPSEC Countermeasures. The specific OPSEC countermeasures that follow are intended to eliminate or mitigate vulnerabilities. Complying with established security policies and procedures also supports the overall OPSEC objective. All personnel (Soldiers, civilians, and contractors) at every level are required to protected critical information that could potentially be exploited by adversaries.

The following OPSEC countermeasures support the protection of critical information identified in TYADs OPSEC Level I Initial training, TYADs Critical Information List, and they are required to be implemented by everyone in all day-to-day activities.

1. Complete mandatory training, practice OPSEC, and implement TYAD OPSEC countermeasures to protect critical information (CI) and other sensitive unclassified information in the execution of military operations performed or supported by the contractor in support of the mission. Protection of CI will include the adherence to and execution of countermeasures which the contractor initiates or as provided by TYAD, for CI on or related to the PWS/SO.

2. Contractor personnel shall not discuss government operations in public or over unprotected or unencrypted communications. Official business and controlled unclassified information (CUI) may only be transmitted as directed in the PWS. CUI must be marked and protected according to DoD and TYAD regulations. Do not take CUI off the installation.

3. Because observation of events, operations, physical changes, etc. may reveal National Security information, specific restrictions are needed to preclude unintentional release of this information to unauthorized parties. (Unauthorized disclosure and transfer of National Security Information is punishable under 18 USC § 793.) Therefore, contractor personnel shall not disclose to unauthorized third parties, post to company websites, unofficial sites, publications, newsletters, or other media (including Social Networking sites) any images, data or https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm information, or observed events that reveal critical/sensitive government information about operations, personnel, equipment, including, but not limited to:

tactics, techniques and procedures, production or work schedules, any visible or concealed modifications, upgrades, additions to vessels, aircraft, or weapons or equipment; increases, change, or decreases in work/deployment frequency or government personnel, vehicle, vessel or aircraft movements; specialized equipment orders, deliveries, shipments, etc.,

a. A documented OPSEC review will be conducted of all information prior to being released to the public regardless of format. OPSEC Reviews must be completed and documented by an OPSEC Level II certified individual.

b. When in doubt, company press releases related to this contract should be coordinated through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or Technical POC, as applicable.

4. Unauthorized disclosures and attempts to solicit classified or critical information by unauthorized third parties or others not affiliated with this contract shall be reported to the TYADs Security Operations Branch, TYADs Law Enforcement Branch, contract point of contact, and your company Facility Security Officer and/or the Defense Security Service. Non-Disclosure requirements remain in effect during the duration of this contract and indefinitely thereafter.

5. Government issued badges, identification shall be removed and/or concealed from plain sight when off station and shall not be left in vehicles or unprotected. Badges and passes may not be duplicated or copied or loaned to others. Lost or stolen identification badges, vehicle passes etc. will be immediately reported to the installation Security Office.

6. It is strongly recommended the contractor mark and protect related internal production schedules, deliverables, inventories, shortages, and identified vulnerabilities related to production of government material. Internal company markings e.g., Business Sensitive, etc., are appropriate for identifying the aforementioned as sensitive information. Specific Government-provided information, drawings etc., will be protected in accordance with guidance in applicable paragraphs of the PWS.

7. All government information must be properly destroyed at contract termination or returned to the government at the government’s discretion.

Safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) CUI is Government-created or owned UNCLASSIFIED information that allows for or requires safeguarding and dissemination controls in accordance with laws, regulations, or Government-wide policies. It is sensitive or critical information that does not meet the criteria for classification but must still be protected. CUI policy provides a uniform marking system across the Federal Government that replaces a variety of agency-specific marking, such as FOUO, LES, SBU, etc. CUI markings alert recipients that special handling may be required to comply with law, regulation, or Government-wide policy. The DoD CUI Registry will give you information on every category to include a description of the category, required markings, authorities and DoD policies, and examples. Not every category or authority listed in the Registry will be applicable to DoD. More specific information about CUI can be found on the DoD CUI Program website:

https://www.dodcui.mil/Home/Training/ The contractor (and/or any subcontractor) must comply with Executive Order 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information, (implemented at 32 CFR, part 2002) when handling CUI. 32 CFR 2002.4(aa) as implemented the term “handling” refers to “…any use of CUI, including but not limited to marking, safeguarding, transporting, disseminating, re- using, and disposing of the information.” 81 Fed.
