The security classification guidance for classified information needed for this effort is identified below. If any difficulty is encountered in applying this guidance or if any other contributing factor indicates a need for changes in this guidance, the contractor is authorized and encouraged to provide recommended changes; to challenge the guidance or the classification assigned to any information or material furnished or generated under this contract; and to submit any questions for interpretation of this guidance to the official identified below. Pending final decision, the information involved shall be handled and protected at the highest level of classification assigned or recommended.

Final SECRET clearances and favorable Diplomatic Security (DS) name checks are required for travel to specific HUMINT threat posts for deployments of less than 60 days (cumulative for all posts visited in a year). Interim SECRET clearances are not acceptable for such travel. Deployments in excess of 60 days require Final TOP SECRET clearances, favorable DS name checks, and submission of an acceptability review prior to deployment.

DD Forms 254 issued by DS/IS/IND will be provided to the prime for distribution to subcontractors, prior to subcontractor access to any classified information or CAA spaces. Contractors are not authorized to issue their own subcontract DD Forms 254.

All contract materials generated by the contractor shall be marked in accordance with the Security Classification Guide for Design and Construction of Overseas Facilities, included in Section J of the RFP. The contractor shall not declassify or sanitize any classified information received or generated in connection with performance of this contract without the prior approval of DOS.

No public release of information regarding this contract shall be made without the prior approval of the Contracting Officer and DS/IS/IND.

Transmittal of classified and SBU information between prime and subcontractors, between designated subcontractors, and to DOS, shall be strictly in accordance with Sections D and H of the contract.

In order to adequately perform on this contract, the successful offeror(s) will require DCSA approved safeguarding at the SECRET level. Additionally, DCSA approval to operate a classified Information System (IS) at the Secret level is required. Contractor will require a COMSEC account for access to ProjNet-C. DOS will sponsor Contractor(s) who do not already have a COMSEC account upon selection for contract award.
