S02 Atch F VA6500 Appendix C 1 - 1 page.pdf

This is an appendix from VA Handbook 6500.6 providing template language for inclusion in VA contracts regarding information security and privacy requirements. The appendix applies to all VA acquisitions that require information security and privacy language in their contract documents. The document establishes that contractors, contractor personnel, subcontractors, and subcontractor personnel are subject to the same federal laws, regulations, standards, VA directives, and handbooks as VA personnel concerning information and information system security and privacy matters.

This is a template document that does not address specific products, services, response dates, pricing terms, or other transactional contracting details. It serves as a reference guide for contracting officers to incorporate standardized security and privacy requirements into VA solicitations and contracts.
