Requirement Statements List

Agency-wide non-technical requirement statements that supplement a statement of work or performance work statements are included in this list. These requirements are specific to agency-required procedures or protocols concerning matters related to contracts or other agreements.

Contracting officer must incorporate all applicable agency-wide requirement statements in Section C of the contract based on the prescriptions in the associated NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) Companion Guide (CG). These requirement statements are maintained in NASA’s Contract Management System (NCMS) under the source “Instructions.”

Requirements statements must not be changed without approval of a deviation in accordance with NFS CG 1801.31(a).

C-301.1, Foreign Travel by Contractor Employees on NASA Official Business (AUG 2025)

Contractor employees (including subcontractors) traveling internationally in support of NASA official business must obtain a country clearance via the Department of State (DOS) electronic Country Clearance (eCC) process. DOS has the authority to grant, withhold, or limit permission for any personnel to travel internationally on U.S. Government official business.

Contractor employees traveling internationally on official NASA business are required to coordinate in advance with the contracting officer’s representative (COR) and their Foreign Travel Coordinator (FTC) prior to traveling, as DOS international travel guidance/policies, and conditions in foreign countries, are subject to change.

In order to obtain a country clearance via the eCC process, travelers must complete a NASA Form (NF) 1908, NASA Advance Travel Notification Form (ATNF) for International Travel, and submit it to their FTC, along with a copy of the complete travel itinerary. The form must be submitted at least 30 business days prior to departure in order to obtain a DOS eCC approval. Forms submitted less than 10 business days prior to departure have a presumption of denial, and require justification signed by the Center Director or designated senior individual at the cognizant NASA Center. Travelers may request the NF1908, NASA ATNF from the their FTC. The list of Center FTCs can be accessed at https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/FTRP/SitePages/Home.aspx. (This link is behind the NASA firewall – contact the COR to get the FTC name if not able to access).

Contractor employees on NASA foreign travel may use the International Traveler Checklist (ITC) that provides a list of travel-related items the traveler should review prior to https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/FTRP/SitePages/Home.aspx international travel. The traveler does not need to submit the ITC form to their FTC; the form is for the benefit of the traveler only. The Center specific ITC can be obtained from the FTC.

In addition to specifying the NASA traveler’s contact information, the eCC request must indicate that the traveler has taken the appropriate training, as follows:

Foreign Affairs Counter Threat E-Learning (eFACT): All contractor employees traveling internationally on NASA official business must complete the eFACT training course (formerly known as Counter Threat Awareness Training (CTAT)) regardless of destination. The eFACT course is available on DOS’s learning management platform, Foreign Service Institute (FSI) Student Information System (SIS) at no cost at https://sis.fsi.state.gov/MySISWeb/s/. To register, send a completed SF182 form (and contractor memorandum if applicable) to DS-Registrar@state.gov.

For any additional questions regarding the enrollment process, contact the DOS eFACT and CTAT course certification is valid for six years; CTAT validity is honored for individuals that completed the CTAT course prior to removal from NASA SATERN on December 31, 2025. NASA travelers should hand-carry a copy of their valid eFACT or CTAT completion certificate with them on all official international travel.

Foreign Affairs Counter Threat (FACT): Contractor employees traveling internationally in support of official NASA business are not required to complete FACT training unless the requirement is specifically included elsewhere in this contract. However, depending on the country and other circumstances, the DOS Chief of Mission Authority may determine that this training is required for contractor employees on official U.S. Government business. The contractor must coordinate with the COR and FTC to determine if the contractor employee(s) must complete the FACT training. The FACT training is an in-person course. Travelers may go to the link below to review the most up-to-date DOS advisories prior to leaving: https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories.html. The course certification is valid for six years.

All NASA travelers are expected to comply with the current guidance and policies regarding health-related requirements in their destination country(ies), as well as the current requirements for reentry into the United States.

In accordance with NPR 2810.2, titled Possession and Use of NASA Information and Information Systems Outside of the United States and United States Territories; NASA official international travelers must take NASA IT devices or access NASA accounts only when authorized by the Center CIO or their designee, prior to travel. Travelers should follow their Center’s international travel process in addition to this requirement statement.

Specific questions regarding foreign travel and guidance/policy updates may be directed to the FTC.

C-301.2, Counterintelligence Briefings (AUG 2025)

If a contractor or subcontractor employee is going on official NASA travel to designated countries, included on the list of current designated countries at https://oiir.hq.nasa.gov/nasaecp/index.html, Russia and/or other high intelligence-threat locations, a pre- and post-travel Counterintelligence Threat Briefing and Debriefing is required, per NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 1660.1 entitled, “NASA Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism.” These briefings include information on the threat from foreign intelligence services, the need to protect NASA classified and sensitive information, elicitation techniques and methods, the impact to NASA when classified and/or sensitive information is lost or stolen and any current State Department advisories or warnings regarding the country(ies) to be visited.

Contractor or subcontractor employees traveling to any designated countries, Russia and/or other high intelligence-threat locations, on official NASA business should receive the threat briefings from their company’s security officials. When that is not possible or practicable, they shall contact the cognizant NASA Center Counterintelligence/Counter Terrorism (CI/CT) office at least two weeks prior to traveling to schedule a personalized foreign travel briefing. Contractor employees shall also schedule a debriefing within one week of returning from travel. The cognizant NASA CI/CT Office can be reached at CI Point of Contact (POC) Listing. Briefings and debriefings may be done in person, via teleconference or by phone as necessary and no paperwork is required.

C-301.3, Protecting and Preserving the Historic and Scientific Value of U.S.

Government Lunar Artifacts (MAR 2026)

Contractors must follow the recommendations outlined in Public Law 116-275 “One Small Step to Protect Human Heritage”. Contractors must also consult with NASA prior to implementing any successor recommendations, guidelines, best practices, or standards relating to the principle of due regard and the limitation of harmful interference with Apollo landing site artifacts issued by NASA.

C-301.4, Background Investigations (FEB 2026)

To protect the welfare of the American people, all people who work for the United States government must be reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and of complete and unswerving loyalty to the United States. Federal employees and contractors must undergo a background investigation if they require logical and physical access for more than 179 days https://www.nasa.gov/oiir/export-control/ https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/ops/SitePages/CI-POC.aspx https://nasa.sharepoint.com/sites/ops/SitePages/CI-POC.aspx https://www.congress.gov/116/plaws/publ275/PLAW-116publ275.pdf https://www.congress.gov/116/plaws/publ275/PLAW-116publ275.pdf

(in a 365-day period). The extent of the investigation will depend on the type of job and the degree of harm the person in that job could cause. Even if a job does not require a security clearance to access classified national security information, regulations require an investigation for a suitability/fitness determination.

For permanent credential requests, the identity requester will submit the request within IdMAX. IdMAX will be the authoritative system for position designations of contractors.

NASA Office of Protective Services will contact the employee to complete the eAPP process.

An investigation is initiated for all NASA workers, commensurate with the position risk and sensitivity. Prior favorable suitability, fitness, and national security determinations will be evaluated for reciprocity for that investigation tier and lower investigation tiers. The applicant is notified to set up a Badging Appointment.

The adjudicative process is a review of a sufficient period in an individual's background and a careful weighing of several variables to ensure that the individual does not pose an unacceptable security risk. This is known as the whole-person concept. All available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, is considered in reaching an eligibility determination. Adjudications are made by certified credentialing adjudicators in accordance with suitability/fitness adjudication standards. It is imperative to be transparent and answer all questions completely and accurately, as inaccurate information may lead to an unfavorable adjudication.
