The Prime Contractor shall submit to SSC/INX and Program Office Government Contracting Authority (GCA) all DD-254s for subcontractor(s) for review and approval prior to subcontractors having access to classified information. If this is an update to the DD-254 to an existing contract, the Prime Contractor will provide to the GCA a copy of DD-254s issued to subcontractors supporting this effort. Subcontractors are not authorized access to Classified information/COMSEC/NATO information/task on contract until approved by GCA.

Such information is not releasable to personnel holding only reciprocal foreign clearances. The Contractor will seek clarification from the government Contracting Officer, Program Manager or 377 MSG/SCXS for any area dealing with COMSEC and/or CYRPTO they are unsure of in regards to procedures, access, handling, safeguarding, etc. The Contractor will make immediate notification to the responsible government security manager and/or 377 MSG/SCXS, the installation COMSEC Manager, of any situation potentially putting at risk any COMSEC or CYRPTO information, material, items, etc.; and if necessary, take immediate safeguarding measures deemed appropriate and reasonable until properly relieved by the government Security Assistant, and/or 377 MSG/SCXS, the installation COMSEC Manager. Written concurrence of the GCA is required prior to subcontracting.

Access to the RD requires a final U.S. Government clearance at or above the appropriate level commensurate with the information concerned. Contractors granted access to RD information will be based on verification of final security eligibility, need-to-know, and only after the individual receives an RD indoctrination briefing and has a signed SF 312. RD is not a dissemination control marking, but instead a unique category of classified information defined by section 2014 of title 42, U.S.C. (also known and hereafter referred to as “The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.” Guidance on policies and procedures governing access to and dissemination of RD, including CNWDI and Sigma categories, which are subsets of RD is provided by DoDI 5210.02.
