About this file

This document outlines a Visitor Group Agreement (VGA) between the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate (AFRL/RW) and contractors requiring access to classified information. The VGA specifies security requirements for contractor personnel working at AFRL/RW, including storage of classified materials, transmission of classified documents, security education, personnel security, reporting requirements, use of badges and identification, end-of-day security checks, and emergency procedures. It designates the AFRL/RW Chief of Information Protection as responsible for security oversight and requires annual review of the agreement. The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency is relieved of inspection responsibilities, which will be handled by AFRL/RW's Information Protection Office.

Classification by Compilation Addendum

Classification as a result of compilation occurs when unclassified elements of information are combined to reveal classified information, or when classified elements combine to reveal information at a higher classification level than the individual elements. Classification by compilation is not the norm when derivatively classifying information. However, because of the risks involved, it is critical to refer to classification guidance, such as SCGs, to ensure otherwise unclassified information does not become classified when you use it in a new document.

a. Mark each portion with the classification appropriate for the information contained within the portion.

b. The banner marking for the document and all pages shall be the overall classification of the compilation. The overall classification shall be marked conspicuously at the top and bottom of each page and on the outside of the front and back covers.

c. An explanation for the classification as a result of compilation shall be provided on the

“Classified By:” or “Derived From:” line or within the document. The explanation must clearly describe the circumstances under which the individual portions constitute a classified compilation, and when they do not. The explanation shall be portion marked as needed. Where specific classification guidance is provided (instead of citing the document providing the guidance), it is to be protected, at a minimum, as “Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).”

Reference DoDM 5200.01-V2, Marking of Information, 7 January 2021; Classification as a Result of Compilation, page 44.

Reference 32 CFR Part 117.13 Classification.

Specific classification guidance regarding compilation classification for this contract will be passed to contractor under separate cover by AFRL/RW Government Program Manager.

ADDENDUM TO DD FORM 254 (Block 10e (2))

RELEASE OF NON-SENSITIVE COMPARTMENT INFORMATION (NON-SCI)

INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION TO U.S. CONTRACTORS

1. Requirements for access to non-SCI intelligence:

a. Contractor will require access to Non-SCI intelligence information and must comply with directions provided by the COR. The COR has determined that disclosure does not create an unfair competitive advantage for the contractor or a conflict of interest with the contractor’s obligation to protect the information. The COR/Program Manager will identify what Non-SCI intelligence information is required to satisfy contract requirement.

b. All intelligence material release to the contractor remains the property of the U.S.

Government and may be withdrawn at any time. Contractors must maintain accountability for all classified intelligence released into their custody.

c. The contractor must not reproduce intelligence material without the written permission of the originating agency through the Intelligence Support Office. If permission is granted, each copy shall be controlled in the same manner as the original.

d. The contractor must not destroy any intelligence material without advance approval or as specified by the Program Manager identified under Item 13 of the DD Form 254. EXCEPTION:

Classified waste shall be destroyed as soon as practical in accordance with the provision of the Industrial Security Program.

e. The contractor must restrict access to only those individuals who possess the necessary security clearance and who are actually providing services under the contract with a valid need-to-know. Further dissemination to other contractors, subcontractors, other government agencies, private individuals or organizations is prohibited unless authorized in writing by the originating agency through the Program Manager identified under Item 13 of the DD form 254.

f. The contractor must ensure each employee having access to intelligence material is fully aware of the special security requirements for this material and shall maintain records in a manner that will permit the contractor to furnish, on demand, the names of individuals who have had access to this material in their custody.

g. Intelligence material must not be released to foreign nationals or immigrant aliens whether they are consultants, U.S. contractors, or employees of the contractor and regardless of the level of their security clearance, except with advance written permission from the originator. Requests for release of foreign nationals shall be initially forwarded to the contract monitor and shall include:

(1) A copy of the proposed disclosure.

(2) Full justification reflecting the benefits to U.S. interests.

(3) Name, nationality, particulars of clearance, and current access authorization of each proposed foreign national recipient.

g. Upon completion or termination of the classified contract, or sooner when the purpose of the release has been served, the contractor will return all classified intelligence (furnished or generated) to the source form which received unless retention or other disposition instructions (see AFMAN 33-322) are authorized in writing by the Program Manager identified under Item 13 of the DD Form 254.

h. The contractor must designate an individual who is working on the contract as custodian.

The designated custodian shall be responsible for receipting and accounting for all classified material. The inner wrapper of all classified material dispatched should be marked for the attention of a designated custodian and must not be opened by anyone not working directly on the contract.

i. Within 30 days after the final product is received and accepted by the procuring agency, classified intelligence materials released to or generated by the contractor, must be returned to the originating agency, through the Program Manager identified under Item 13 of the DD Form 254, unless written instructions authorizing destruction or retention are issued. Requests to retain material shall be directed to the Program Manager identified under Item 13 of the DD Form 254 for this contract in writing and clearly indicate the justification for retention and identity of the specific document to be retained.

j. Classification, regrading, or declassification markings of documentation produced by the contractor shall be consistent with that applied to the information or documentation from which the new document was prepared. If a compilation of information or a complete analysis of subject appears to require a security classification other than that of the source documentation, the contractor shall assign the tentative security classification and request instructions from the contract monitor. Pending final determination, the material shall be safeguarded as required for its assigned or proposed classification, whichever is higher, until the classification is changed or otherwise verified.

2. Intelligence material carries special markings. The following is a list of the authorized control markings of intelligence material:

a. “Dissemination and Extraction of Information Controlled by Originator (ORCON).” This marking is used, with a security classification, to enable a continuing knowledge and supervision by the originator of the use made of the information involved. This marking may be used on intelligence which clearly identifies, or would reasonably permit ready identification of an intelligence source or method which is particularly susceptible to countermeasures that would nullify or measurably reduce its effectiveness. This marking may not be used when an item or information will reasonably be protected by the use of other markings specified herein, or by the application of the “need-to-know” principle and the safeguarding procedures of the security classification system.

b. Authorized for Release to (Name of the Country(ies)/International Organization).” The above is abbreviated “REL .” This marking must be used when it is necessary to identify classified intelligence material the U.S. Government originator has predetermined to be releasable or has been released through established foreign disclosure channels to the indicated country(ies) or organization.

3. The following procedures govern the use of control markings.

a. Any recipient desiring to use intelligence in a manner contrary to restrictions established by the control markings set forth above shall obtain the advance permission of the originating agency through the Program Manager identified under Item 13 of the DD Form 254. Such permission applies only to the specific purposes agreed to by the originator and does not automatically apply to all recipients. Originators shall ensure that prompt consideration is given to recipients’ requests in these regards, with particular attention to reviewing and editing, if necessary, sanitized or paraphrased versions to derive a text suitable for release subject to lesser or no control markings.

b. The control marking authorized above shall be shown on the title page, front cover, and other applicable pages of documents, incorporated in the text of electrical communications, shown on graphics, and associated (in full or abbreviated form)‚ with data stored or processed in automatic data processing systems. The control marking also shall be indicated by parenthetical use of the marking abbreviations at the beginning or end of the appropriate portions. If the control marking applies to several or all portions, the document must be marked with a statement to this effect rather than marking each portion individually.

c. The control markings shall be individually assigned at the time of preparation of intelligence products and used in conjunction with security classifications and other marking specified by E.O. 13526 and its implementing security directives, in addition to previous Executive Orders. The marking shall be carried forward to any new format in which the same information is incorporated including oral and visual presentations.
