Foreign Contractors: This contract requires a “Top Secret” clearance. Federal legislation restricts the dissemination of critical technologies, classified and unclassified, to foreign interests. Access to information above the “Secret” level by a foreign owned/controlled company requires a National Interest Determination (NID)—this also applies to any foreign owned proposed subcontractor. The NID is an agency level risk analysis, determination, and acceptance used to justify the need for a “Special Security Agreement”. A user agency must justify and request a company be cleared under a “Special Security Agreement” to isolate any potential for Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI). The justification must address and explain how the FOCI contractor’s product or service is crucial, or is the sole available source to the Air Force. NIDs have to be forwarded to SAF/AAZ for review and endorsement, then to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Counterintelligence and Security (OSD-USD/I) for final approval.

The Government will use the Internet and email as the primary means of disseminating and exchanging all information pertaining to this requirement.
