The security classification guidance for classified information needed for this effort is identified below. If any difficulty is encountered in applying this guidance or if any other contributing factor indicates a need for changes in this guidance, the contractor is authorized and encouraged to provide recommended changes; to challenge the guidance or the classification assigned to any information or material furnished or generated under this contract; and to submit any questions for interpretation of this guidance to the official identified below. Pending final decision, the information involved shall be handled and protected at the highest level of classification assigned or recommended.

Contractor personnel assigned to this contract shall possess a TOP SECRET or SECRET personnel security clearance issued by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) prior to contract performance.

Contractor personnel specifically designated by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will be required to have a Moderate Risk Public Trust (MRPT) determination conducted by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

Personnel security clearances levels and MRPTs will be specified at the Task Order level.

A Final SECRET clearance and favorable Diplomatic Security (DS) name check is required for travel to specific HUMINT threat posts for deployments of less than 60 days (cumulative for all posts visited in a calendar year).

An Interim SECRET clearance is not acceptable for travel. Deployments in excess of 60 days require a Final TOP SECRET clearance, favorable DS name check and submission of an acceptability review prior to deployment.

Visit Authorization Requests (VAR) are to be sent to Department of State (DOS), DS/IS/IND, Washington, DC 20520, via email: DS_IND_contractorVARS@state.gov. A VAR is valid for 12 months; an updated VAR is required 30 days prior to the current VAR expiring.

All DD Forms 254 for proposed subcontractors required to provide cleared personnel shall be forwarded to DS/ IS/IND for generation and certification prior to issuance to the subcontractor and prior to access to any classified information or controlled access areas. Proposed subcontractors must be reviewed by DS/IS/IND prior to contract performance. The prime contractor shall provide a current signed (by both parties) Subcontract Agreement (with subcontract number listed) between the entities outlining specific Statement of Work (SOW) to be performed by the subcontractor, to include all security requirements.

While at DOS locations, the contractor shall comply with applicable DOS regulations relative to protection of classified and/or sensitive information, including the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) (32 CFR Part 117) and 12 Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) 500 and 600. DS/IS/IND is responsible for reviewing contractors assigned to DOS locations.

Security clearance requirements for contractors accessing DOS domestic or overseas information systems shall be in accordance with 12 FAM 600. Furthermore, citizens of specifically designated human intelligence and/or technical intelligence threat countries shall not develop, modify, or perform maintenance on software developed for use on DOS computer systems without approval by DS/CTS.

Contract company Facility Security Officers (FSOs) shall immediately report any adverse information concerning any cleared contractor employees performing on DOS contracts to DCSA in accordance with the NISPOM and to DS/IS/IND in accordance with 12 FAM 576

Contractor personnel working on DOS contracts must report impending marriage, cohabitation and other continuing bonds of affection with foreign nationals to the COR and DS/IS/IND, in accordance with 12 FAM 275.

MINIMUM PERSONNEL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIFIC

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE THREAT POSTS

CONTRACT NUMBER:

Contractor personnel who will perform tasks at specific human intelligence (HUMINT) threat posts must meet specific requirements based on 12 FAM 570. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will notify the contractor when a task order is being issued for a specific HUMINT threat post. The contractor should immediately coordinate with DS/IS/IND to initiate the appropriate Diplomatic Security (DS) reviews for those individuals who are proposed to deploy to those posts.

1) Personnel traveling to specific HUMINT threat posts for short-term visits (less than 60 days cumulative in a “12-month period” for all posts) must have a minimum FINAL SECRET clearance and a favorable DS name check prior to deployment. INTERIM SECRET clearances are not acceptable for such travel. DS name checks will be conducted in conjunction with electronic country clearance request processing.

2) Personnel traveling in excess of 60 days must possess a final TOP SECRET personnel security clearance, based on a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) conducted within the past five years, and undergo a DS Acceptability Review (A/R) and DS name check prior to approval for deployment. Personnel currently undergoing SSBI-Periodic Reviews (5 year updates) with Defense Security Service are not eligible for an A/R and should not be nominated for long-term assignment to HUMINT threat posts until their SSBI-PR has been favorably adjudicated and an updated Visit Authorization Request (VAR) submitted.

3) For those personnel who do not have a previous A/R, the contractor will be invited by DS/IS/IND to electronically submit the A/R via the Office of Personnel Management’s Electronic Questionnaire for Investigation Processing (e-QIP). e-QIP is a secure website that can be accessed from any computer system that has an Internet connection. In order to begin this process, the following information must be submitted by the Facility Security Officer, via email to DS_IND_OBOTeam@state.gov

SUBJECT Line of email: Acceptability Review for LAST, First-Country

Name Social Security Number Date of Birth and Place of Birth

Job Title Email address City/country for this trip

4) Upon receipt of the above, DS/IS/IND will:

initiate a DS name check to determine whether the individual could be eligible for deployment while the Acceptability Review is pending, initiate the Acceptability Review with DS/SI/PSS, notify the contractor and the COR of interim approval for deployment while results of the A/R are pending. Conversely, notify the contractor and the COR of interim denials. In these cases, deployment cannot begin until the A/R is favorably adjudicated, and notify the COR and contractor of the final results, upon adjudication of the A/R.

5) DS/IS/IND maintains a record of previous A/Rs and deployment records to specific HUMINT threat posts and will determine if a previous A/R is still valid for deployment. For those individuals who have a valid A/R, DS/IS/IND will accomplish the following:

DS Name Check Notify the contractor and the COR of approval/disapproval for deployment

6) Personnel approved for deployment while an A/R is pending can be immediately deployed. However, if the Acceptability Review is ultimately adjudicated unfavorably, upon notification by the COR, the individual must be immediately removed from the post at no expense to the U.S. Government.

7) Personnel not approved for immediate deployment may be assigned to non-specific HUMINT threat posts until the A/R has been completed and adjudicated. If the Acceptability Review is unfavorably adjudicated, the individual will not be authorized for future deployments to specific HUMINT threat posts, and may not be authorized for further performance on this contract.
