N3904026Q3129 Attachment 2 Enclosure 2 PNSY OPSEC Contract Requirements 26-075.pdf

This document is an Operations Security (OPSEC) Contract Requirements notice issued by Portsmouth Naval Shipyard that must be attached with solicitation and award documentation.

The document establishes security protocols for contractors working on naval shipyard projects involving sensitive information. OPSEC is defined as a process to protect sensitive information and Critical Information and Indicators (CII) from unauthorized disclosure, whether classified or unclassified. An OPSEC plan must be signed by the prime contractor and forwarded to the assigned contracting official via encrypted email through the Department of Defense Safe (DoD SAFE) or U.S. Postal Service, with requirements varying based on the type of work, environment, and contract circumstances. Contractors and subcontractors bear responsibility for preventing inadvertent disclosure of unclassified or classified information throughout contract performance. The document prohibits disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Naval-specific operational details (schedules, equipment capabilities, infrastructure), photographs, and videos within shipyard work areas. Contractors must protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), restrict verbal discussions of shipyard work, shred sensitive documents using NSA-approved equipment, and immediately report any unauthorized disclosures or compromises to the Activity Security Manager and Industrial Security Officer. Portable electronic devices (PEDs) require coordination with sponsors for approval before use on the shipyard. Violations may result in contract termination, removal of individuals from the contract, or criminal prosecution.
