L.3.2.1.1 Mandatory Security Requirement for Classified Material

In addition to the security requirements in Section L.1.1, Classified Material, offerors shall have a minimum

Offerors possessing the appropriate facility clearance (provided under separate cover upon request). Offerors are not required to propose to this objective requirement in order to be eligible for consideration/award. Lack of an FCL will not make an Offeror’s proposal unawardable. The offeror without an FCL accepts the risk of not meeting the classified performance objective. The Marine Corps will not sponsor FCL for offerors at any time, including during the period of performance.
