Attachment No. 5

Solicitation No. FA875119RA004

1. INTRODUCTION.

The following paragraphs are also considered be a part of the technical requirements and the Contractor is responsible for compliance to the same extent as the rest of the requirements.

2. COMSEC MONITORING.

All communications with DoD organizations are subject to Communications Security (COMSEC) review.

Contractor personnel will be aware that telecommunications networks are continually subject to interception by unfriendly intelligence organizations. The DoD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from or terminating at DoD organizations. Therefore civilian Contractor personnel are advised that any time they place a call to or receive a call from a USAF organization they are subject to COMSEC procedures. The Contractor will assume the responsibility for ensuring wide and frequent dissemination of the above information to all employees dealing with official DoD information.
