ADDENDUM #4

DD FORM 254 (BLOCK 10f)

SPECIAL ACCESS INFORMATION

10.f: SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM INFORMATION. A special access program (SAP) is one which is established and approved by the Secretary of the Air Force to control access, distribution, and to provide protection for particularly sensitive classified information beyond that normally required for Top Secret, Secret, Confidential information. A “CARVE-OUT” is a classified contract awarded by the Air Force in connection with a SAP in which the Servicing Security Activity (SSA) has been relieved of security and/or oversight responsibility in whole or in part. Prior approval of the contracting activity is required for subcontracting. Access to SAP information requires a final U.S. Government clearance at the appropriate level.

If the contractor is required to have access to a SAP (which is not a “carve out”), mark 10.f. “YES,” and enter the following statement in Item 13:

“Ref. 10.f.: DSS maintains cognizance over the SAP. The inspecting Industrial Security Representative must be briefed into the SAP (insert unclassified nickname) by the government program manager or designated representative prior to access to the SAP material.”

If the contractor is required to have access to a SAP, but the program office is not the OPR for the SAP, insert the following statement in Item 13:

“Ref 10.f.: The OPR for the SAP is not the office shown in Item 13 of this form. However, the contractor requires access to (insert unclassified SAP nickname) material. The contractor must adhere to the special access requirements/procedures developed by the OPR.”

If the contractor is required to have access to a “carve-out” classified contract, mark Items 10.f. and 14 “YES” and enter the following statement in Item 14:

“Ref 10.f.: DSS has no responsibility for (insert unclassified nickname) SAP material. (Insert AF symbol and address) has exclusive security responsibility for all SAP material released or developed under this contract.”

NOTE: It is advisable to confer with the appropriate SAF/AQ program security officer for the SAP before preparing the DD Form 254 for the SAP effort.
