8.15 Operations Security. Background, Operations Security (OPSEC) is a process for protecting unclassified sensitive information from exploitation by an adversary. Sensitive unclassified information – which is also referred to as CI or CPI – is defined as information that is not classified but which needs to be protected from unauthorized disclosure. Examples are information labeled “For Official Use Only (FOUO),” proprietary information, contractor sensitive information, limited distribution information, and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

8.15.1 The contractor and all subcontractors shall provide OPSEC protection for sensitive unclassified information as identified in the CI List (see below) paragraphs and CPI List, if applicable. The prime contractor and all subcontractors shall employ the countermeasures listed below in order to protect that information. Additional countermeasures may be employed as necessary. If an OPSEC Plan is provided, the contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with that plan. These OPSEC requirements will be in effect throughout the life of the procurement from award through the conclusion of services at the end of the Period of Performance (PoP) or other procurement termination. If required, the contractor and all subcontractors shall prepare an OPSEC Plan.

8.15.2 Contractor personnel shall follow OPSEC concepts and principles in the conduct of this requirement to protect CI, personnel, facilities, equipment and operations from compromise. The contractor shall consult with the SME within 5 working days of receipt of order to determine all special circumstances affecting OPSEC under this requirement. In any case where there is uncertainty or ambiguity regarding OPSEC measures, the contractor shall consult the SME as soon as possible. If the SME is unavailable, the contractor shall consult the contracting officer instead. The prime contractor and all subcontractors shall provide OPSEC protection for sensitive unclassified information and comply with all OPSEC requirements.

8.15.3 Minimum Protection Requirements for CI. CI is exempt from public release under Exemption 2 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It is designated “For Official Use Only (FOUO)” and is considered controlled unclassified information. Specific Critical Program Information, for reasons of OPSEC will not be identified to offerors prior to award. CPI will be identified to the successful offeror only after receipt of order.

8.16 Personally Identifiable Information (PII). PII will be protected in accordance with DoD and Navy directives, in such a manner as to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Email containing PII must be encrypted.

8.17 Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI): CUI is official information that requires the application of controls and protective measures for a variety of reasons and has not been approved for public release, to include technical information, proprietary data, information requiring protection under the Privacy Act of 1974, and Government-developed privileged information involving the award of contracts. CUI is a categorical designation that refers to unclassified information that does not meet the standards for National Security Classification under Executive Order(s), but is pertinent to the national interest of the United States or to the important interests of entities outside the Federal Government, and under law or policy requires protection from unauthorized disclosure, special handling safeguards, or prescribed limits on exchange or dissemination.

8.17.1 Minimum Requirements for Access to CUI: Prior to access, contractor personnel requiring access to DoN CUI or "user level access to DoN or DoD networks and information systems, system security and network defense systems, or to system resources providing visual access and/or ability to input, delete or otherwise manipulate sensitive information without controls to identify and deny sensitive information" who do not have clearance eligibility are required to submit a Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions (Standard Form 85P) through the cognizant Facility Security Officer or contractor entity representative for a suitability determination by DoN Central Adjudication Facility.

8.17.2 Minimum Protection Requirements for CUI: Contract deliverables taking the form of unclassified limited-distribution documents (FOUO), are not authorized for public release and therefore shall not be posted on a publicly accessible web server, nor electronically transmitted via electronic mail unless appropriately encrypted.

8.18 Countermeasures. Countermeasures to CI exploitation are required to negate the susceptibility of critical information to exploitation by an adversary or competitor. The contractor shall protect all CI listed in a manner appropriate to the nature of the information, including use of the necessary countermeasures as listed below applicable to specifics items.

1) Encryption of electronically-stored CI.

2) Encryption of e-mail containing CI.

3) Storage of hard copy CI, optical media and external hard drives in locked containers when not in use.

4) Transmission of CI to the minimum set of recipients with a need to know.

5) Proper marking of CI with warnings to include at a minimum “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY”; as appropriate to the nature of the CI it shall also be marked with “UNCLASSIFIED BUT SENSITIVE,”

“PRIVACY ACT INFORMATION,” “PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION,” “PROTECT

FROM UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE” or other similar statements cautioning protection of the CI.

6) Restricting disclosure of CI at meetings and conferences (including teleconferences) to the minimum necessary to the performance of this requirement.

7) Immediate and appropriate destruction in a manner precluding reconstruction of all CI no longer needed under this requirement.

8) Restricting verbal discussion of CI to venues and circumstances that prevent the monitoring and interception of the discussion by unauthorized personnel.

9) Maintaining current, successful completion of Navy-mandated Information Assurance (IA) and OPSEC training by all personnel handling CI.

10) Refraining from the use of unencrypted cellular telephones to transmit CI.

11) Refraining from the use of foreign postal systems to ship CI.

12) Promptly retrieving documents containing CI printed on printers accessible by persons without a need to know the CI.

13) Use of cover pages or other appropriate means to prevent the viewing of CI by unauthorized persons.

14) Limiting the inclusion of CI in contract and budget documents, presentations, press releases and other publications to that which is essential to the performance of this requirement.

15) Use of protected databases and strong passwords and the protection of user identifications (UserIDs).

16) During test and evaluation events (as applicable to this requirement) practice OPSEC methodologies with respect to staging units, personnel and materials out of the observation of unauthorized persons;

desensitization; and the speed of execution of the event.

8.19 Compromise. The contractor shall notify the SME, FSO, and security office immediately of all known and suspected compromises of CI, classified information, or PII. If the SME cannot be reached, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (or the Command Duty Officer if after normal work hours).

8.20 FOUO. The FOUO marking is assigned to information at the time of its creation. It is not authorized as a substitute for a security classification marking but is used on official Government information that may be withheld from the public under exemptions 2 through 9 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Use of FOUO markings does not mean that the information can’t be released to the public, only that it must be reviewed by the Government prior to its release to determine whether a significant and legitimate government purpose is served by withholding the information or portions of it.

8.20.1 All UNCLASSIFIED documents created under this procurement that contain FOUO information will be marked “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” on the bottom of the cover page and interior pages.

8.20.2 Classified documents containing FOUO do not require any markings on the cover of the document.

However, the interior pages containing only FOUO information shall be marked at the top and bottom center with “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.” Only unclassified portions containing FOUO shall be marked with “(FOUO)” immediately before each unclassified FOUO portion.

8.20.3 All FOUO information released to the contractor will be marked with the following statement prior to transfer:

THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY

DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FOIA. EXEMPTIONS(S) ______ APPLY.

8.20.4 Removal of the FOUO marking may be accomplished only by the originator or other competent authority.

The contractor SHALL NOT REMOVE ANY FOUO MARKING WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM NSWC CORONA OR THE AUTHOR. The Government will notify the contractor when the FOUO status is terminated.

8.20.5 The contractor is authorized to disseminate FOUO information to its employees and those having a need to know the information in order to accomplish the requirements of this procurement.

8.20.6 During working hours, reasonable steps shall be taken to minimize the risk of access to FOUO information by unauthorized personnel. FOUO information shall be placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to persons who do not have a need to know the information in order to perform the requirements of this procurement. During non-working hours, the FOUO information shall be stored in a locked desk, file cabinet, bookcase, rooms, or other lockable container or space affording reasonable protection from unauthorized disclosure.

8.20.7 FOUO information may be transmitted via US postal service first-class mail, parcel post and fourth-class mail for bulk shipments only. The contractor shall not permit FOUO information to enter foreign postal systems and parcel delivery systems.

8.20.8 When no longer needed, FOUO information shall either be returned to appropriate Government custody or destroyed in a manner precluding reconstruction of the information.

8.20.9 Electronic transmission of FOUO information (via voice, data, or facsimile transmission) shall be by approved secure communications systems (such as encryption if unclassified). If circumstances preclude the use of such a system, the contractor shall consult the SME; if the SME is not available and time requirements do not permit delay, the contractor shall consult the Contracting Officer.

8.21 ACCESS BRIEFINGS. FSO will provide any necessary access briefings required for contract performance (NATO, CNWDI, etc.).

8.22 The Contractor shall notify NSWC Corona if any of the limitations mentioned above need modification.

Conversely, the Government will notify the Contractor when security requirements delineated in this SOW are modified.

9.0 ON SITE SAFETY AWARENESS

(a) In accordance with 29 CFR 1925 Safety and Health Standards for Federal Service Contracts, the contractor company shall strictly adhere to Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulations, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations, and all applicable state and local requirements. OSHA Directive CSP 03-01-003 Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) Policies and Protection Manual defines contractors into two categories.

1) Applicable Contractor. A contractor whose employees worked at least 1,000 hours for a VPP participant in any calendar quarter within the last 12 months and are not directly supervised by the applicant/participant.

When the SME submits a CDR, the contractor is required to prepare a formal reply delineating corrective action. If the reply satisfies the SME, no further action will be taken. If replies are unsatisfactory and resolution cannot be obtained, the SME will forward the contractor’s reply along with the recommended action to the Contracting Officer to initiate formal action against the contractor for unsatisfactory performance. When appropriate, Contracting Officer may investigate any event further to determine if all the facts and circumstances surrounding the event were considered in the SME’s recommendation.
