U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT FOR

CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES

I. I, ___________________________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I understand the high standards of trustworthiness and integrity required of me with regard to materials and information which may come to my attention in connection with Government Contract DJJ17- C-XXXX while I am an employee of ___________________________________________.

II. Except as necessary in the performance of my duties under this contract, I will not:

A. Reveal, divulge, or publicize any matters dealt with under this contract.

B. Disseminate any oral or written information obtained as a result of execution of this contract or performance of work hereunder.

C. Remove any document from the place of performance of this contract, except as approved in advance by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

In addition, I have read and will abide by the provisions of the Security Requirements clause of the above referenced contract.

I further swear (or affirm) that I understand the provisions of Section II A, B, and C above are fully applicable during my employment with ____________________________ on this contract, and continue to apply without any time limitation, including the time after my employment on the contract is terminated.

III. As a contractor employee on this contract, I understand that the Government may remove any computer access privileges for unauthorized, negligent, or willful actions.

IV. As a contractor employee on this contract, I understand that all materials provided by the

Government, including any copies, notes, or working papers derived or produced therefrom, are the property of the Government. If required to do so by the Contracting Officer or COR, I will promptly surrender such materials and derived copies, notes, or working papers that are in my custody or control. I understand that my failure to surrender such materials promptly, or my conversion of such materials to a use not called for by the contract (e.g., delivery of a document, or a copy thereof, or notes containing information taken from the document, to someone not working on this contract), may be a violation of 18 U.S.C. 641 (theft of government property) and may subject me to fines (up to $10,000) and imprisonment ( up to 10 years).

V. In accordance with contract provisions, the Government may formally modify or change this

Agreement in those instances in which the courts (e.g., grand jury investigations), statutory requirements (e.g., civil or criminal investigative demands), or specific circumstances dictate such a modification or change.
