By signing this form, the requesting Government program office and the servicing Contractor (or Subcontractor) verify that the stated access requests on this form are based on legitimate and bona fide need(s)/requirement(s) of the Government.

General Security - Space Systems Command, Assured Access To Space (SSC/AATS) has determined that performance of this contract requires that the contractor, subcontractor(s), vendor(s), etc. (herein known as contractor), requires access to classified National Security Information (herein known as classified information). Classified information is Government information which requires protection in accordance with Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information, and supplementing directives.

The Contractor shall abide by the requirements set forth in the DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification, Included in the contract, and the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) for the protection of classified information at its cleared facility if applicable, as directed by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA).

Any firm or business under contract with the Air Force (AF), which requires access to classified information, will require a facility security clearance commensurate with the level of access required. Firms that do not possess a facility clearance, or the requisite level of facility clearance, will be sponsored for a Department of Defense facility clearance.

For access to classified information contractor will ensure all required actions IAW 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) are completed for personnel working on this contract. Interim clearances are authorized except when the contractor will require NATO and COMSEC access, where a finalized security clearance is required. Security clearances are in accordance with the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Access to SCI will be in accordance with the current SCI addendum and DOD Manual 5105.21 Volumes 1-3 for SCI management.

This is also applicable to Contractor and Subcontractor personnel who are visiting or on a temporary duty assignment at the NSSL launch sites. This requirement is for personnel who have or may need access to launch site restricted or controlled areas containing (NSSL) National Security Space Launch and/or Information Systems, which directly affect a launch system. Alternate Personnel Security determinations (when applicable) must be appropriately authorized in the DAFI31-101_SSCSUP_DAFGM2021-1 supplement and validated/approved.

Security Management -The contractor shall appoint a senior official to act as the Facility Security Officer. The individual will interface with SSC/AA security on all security matters, to include physical, personnel, industrial, information, program protection and cybersecurity and will protect all Government information and data accessed by the Contractor.

Contractor employees who become eligible for access to classified National Security Information shall receive annual refresher training in accordance with the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).

In the event classified information is inadvertently received by a contractor who does not hold an active security clearance at the appropriate level, a Government employee or Contractor with the appropriate security clearance equal to or higher than the classified information received, will take possession of the material and shall safeguard and store the information in accordance with standards set forth in the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). The inadvertent disclosure will be immediately reported to their supervisor and then to SSC/AA's Security Manager for action as appropriate.

Period of Performance: 10 October 2019 to 9 October 2028

Ref 10a. COMSEC -Classified COMSEC material is not releasable to contractor employees who have not received a FINAL clearance at the appropriate security level. All personnel granted access to COMSEC are required to be familiar with applicable Air Force and specialized COMSEC publications, and Air Force Methods and Procedures Technical Orders (MPTOs), etc. When access is required at Government facilities, contractor personnel will adhere to COMSEC rules and regulations as mandated by Command policy and procedures. Written concurrence of the GCA is required prior to subcontracting. The Prime Contractor should also notify the National Security Agency (NSA) Central Office of Record (COR) before negotiating or awarding subcontracts.

(U) (For Visitor Groups) Contractor will require access to COMSEC information at the on-base locations listed in item 8a. On-base contractors will not require their own COMSEC account. Access will be controlled by 61st Air Base Group (ABG) or host installation.

Page 4 of 9DD FORM 254, APR 2018 and handling of RD and FRD must comply with the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) and DoDI 5210.02, Access to and Dissemination of Restricted and Formerly Restricted Data. The Government Program Manager will validate contractor requests for this information on a case-by-case basis. RD/FRD information is not releasable to employees who are not citizens, foreign nationals or those having limited access authorizations. A final government clearance at the appropriate level is required along with a valid Need-To-Know (including documented training) for access to government information/data. These records will be maintained per 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). The Department of Energy (DoE) requires that any contractor requiring access to RD/FRD for the purpose of reviewing, analyzing, and creating new RD/FRD products or material, must complete relevant training.

(1) Restricted Data means all data concerning (a) design, manufacture, or utilization of atomic weapons (b) the production of special nuclear material or (c) the use of special nuclear material in the production of energy, but shall not include data declassified or removed from the Restricted Data category pursuant to Section 142.

(2) Formerly Restricted Data is information which has been removed from the Restricted Data category after the DoE and the DoD have jointly determined that the information relates primarily to the military utilization of atomic weapons and can be adequately safeguarded as National Security Information in the US. Such data may not be given to any other nation except under the terms of an agreement for cooperation.

b. The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, provides for the development, use, and control of atomic energy. The Act establishes policy for handling atomic energy-related classified information designated as Restricted Data and Formerly Restricted Data. The Act provides responsibility to DoE to "control the dissemination and declassification of Restricted Data". This clause is intended to ensure reasonable conformity in policy and procedures is used by contractors for the control of RD and FRD.

c. In accordance with the Atomic Energy Act, all atomic energy information remains classified unless action is taken to declassify material only by the DoE. No other organization can declassify atomic energy information, and once it is declassified, it cannot be reclassified.

e. DoDI 5210.02, Access to and Dissemination of Restricted Data and Formerly Restricted Data, states that it is DoD policy that access to and dissemination of RD and FRD information within and between DoD components, including DoD contractors, will be governed by the same criteria that governs the access to other classified information, which is contained in DoDI 5210.02, DoDM 5200.01, and 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).

f. Protection requirements for RD/FRD are contained in DoDM 5200.01, Volume 1, DoD Information Security Program, which states that:

Classified information, in the custody of the Department of Defense marked as RD and FRD in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, shall be stored, protected, and destroyed in the same manner as information of a comparable level of security classification Contractor IT systems and networks must be certified and accredited for RD and/or FRD prior to transmission, processing, or storage of such data. RD and FRD must be marked IAW instructions in the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).

g. The disclosure by a contractor of RD and FRD to foreign governments shall not be permitted until an agreement is signed by the U.S.

and participating government(s) and disclosure guidance and security arrangements have been established.

Ref 10d: Formerly Restricted Data. Access to FRD requires a final U.S. Government clearance at the appropriate level. Written concurrence by the KO is required prior to subcontracting.

Ref 10h – Foreign Government Information. Access to foreign government information may be required in the performance of this contract. The Program Manager will validate contractor requests for FGI on a case-by-case basis. Access to FGI requires a final government clearance at the appropriate level. FGI shall be protected in the same manner as the equivalent U.S. government classified information. Information supplied by or provided to a foreign government(s) shall be handled in accordance with the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and DoDM 5200-01 Vol 1-3.

Personnel Security - For access to classified information contractor will ensure all required actions IAW DoDM 5200.02, AFM 16-1405, FA8818-24-R-B003

PREVIOUS EDITION IS OBSOLETE. Page 7 of 9DD FORM 254, APR 2018

AFGM2022-03, and 32 CFR Part 117, are completed for personnel working on this contract. An interim SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL Personnel Security Clearance (PCL) is valid for access to classified information at the level of the eligibility granted. Interim SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL PCLs are authorized except when the contractor will require access COMSEC information, RD, or NATO information, where a finalized security clearance is required. Note, an interim TOP SECRET PCL is the equivalent of a final SECRET PCL. Security clearances are in accordance with the 32 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Access to SCI will be in accordance with the current SCI addendum and DOD Manual 5105.21 Volumes 1-3 for SCI management. Contractor(s) will not be afforded access to classified information at any level (i.e. Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret) until the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Consolidated Adjudication Services (CAS) grants a final PCL at the appropriate level. Interim PCLs are authorized only when granted by the adjudicative authority and have been entered into Defense Information System for Security (DISS). Contractor(s) must be employed in a position that requires a clearance in order to be submitted for the appropriate PCL. Contractor(s) Facility Security Officer (FSO) will submit all investigation requests through National Background Investigation Services (NBIS) and ensure individuals complete a clearance application in the Electronic Application (e-App). Contractor(s) FSO reviews, approves, and forwards the completed e-App to DCSA Vetting Risk Operations (VRO) for approval, issuance of an interim clearance, and release to Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for investigation.

Alternate methods of clearance submission are acceptable as long as the contractor security personnel ensures clearance levels are available in Defense Information System for Security (DISS) for review.

Contract performance on a Government installation and/or 1) access to classified information and/or 2) IT Level I/II/III access and/or 3) when cleared personnel are required to perform unclassified services in a facility requiring a security clearance for unescorted access, shall undergo a Personnel Security Investigation (PSI), as appropriate. This is also applicable to contractor and subcontractor personnel who are visiting or on a temporary and/or escort duties for a period of 90 days or more. This requirement is for personnel who have or may need access to restricted or controlled areas. Contractor employees who require access to government IT systems/networks are determined to be trustworthy by the completion of a favorable PCL investigation appropriate with assigned duties and by a designated government official prior to IT access being granted. This is accomplished through the system authorization access request, DD Form 2875, process.

Reference AFI 31-501, Personnel Security Program Management (or applicable revisions) for background investigation requirements.

Reference AFI 16-1406, Air Force Industrial Security Program and AFI 31-101, Integrated Defense, for administrative approaches to identify installation access for contractors as “Visitor Groups,” “Intermittent,” and “Cleared Facilities.” Both installation and network access as prescribed in AFI 16-1406 correlates to AFI 36-3026, Volume 2, Common Access Card (CAC), for contractor and volunteer populations, eligibility and enrollment to DEERS via the online TASS application.

Grant contractors (prime contractors and subcontractors) access to the installation IAW AFMAN 31-113, Installation Perimeter Access Control.

Any conflict and/or issue regarding classification level between this and any other application guide will be protected at the highest level until the conflict or issue is resolved by the Corps Security Manager, and Information Protection Office (IPO) and Special Security Office (SSO). Written resolution and/or direction will be provided by the Corps Security Manager, and IPO and SSO.
