CERTIFICATE OF NONDISCLOSURE

FOR HANDLING OF GOVERNMENT-PROVIDED DATA

I acknowledge that I represent an organization that is participating in the solicitation for the Department of State’s (DoS) Next Generation Passport Personalization Printers. I understand that in responding to the Next Generation Passport Personalization Printers, I and my organization will have access to materials that are considered sensitive by the United States Government, and I certify that I will not knowingly disclose information about proprietary Consular Affairs data or systems directly or indirectly to any applicable person other than a person authorized by the Government Task Manager or Contracting Officer to receive such information. Sensitive information includes, but is not limited to any Government-provided data, materials, or results derived therefrom, or any other proprietary information I receive during the solicitation process. I understand that unauthorized disclosure of such information by me or any other representative of my organization may, at a minimum, result in exclusion of my organization from participation in the Next Generation Passport Personalization Printers solicitation, and may further subject me personally to substantial administrative, civil, and criminal penalties.

A Vendor Library will be distributed on a data disc to Offerors qualified by DoS and who sign this Certificate of Nondisclosure. This disc will contain an Interface Control Document (ICD) and sample data and images. These Offerors will also be provided sample blank test Books. I hereby certify that these sample images, data, and test books will only be used for the purpose of preparing your solicitation response and that the disc and test books will be returned to the DoS with the solicitation. I certify that I will delete all DoS-provided data and any derivatives from my equipment upon submission.

Those Offerors selected by DoS to participate in Phase 2 of the solicitation and who sign this Certificate of Nondisclosure will receive test images and data on disk along with blank test books. This data will be provided to the Offerors upon arrival at the Tucson Passport Center (TPC) test facility. I hereby certify that these sample images, data, and books will only be used for the purpose of preparing for and performing the tests. No Phase 2 test data or test books will be permitted to leave the TPC test facility.

Each Offeror participating in Phase 2 will receive one test image and data distribution disk. I certify that I will not duplicate the distribution disk to any removable media or print any images or other information contained on the distribution disk, that I will return the distribution disk and passport books to the test proctor at the conclusion of the test, that I will delete all Government-provided data and any derivatives thereof from my equipment at the conclusion of the test prior to removal of my equipment from the test area. I certify that my system(s) will not communicate with or access systems not included in the test system configuration or any system outside the designated test room. I certify that my equipment will be cleansed, that I will delete all data pertaining to the Phase 2 test, and that I will conduct a low-level format of all hard drives attached to the test system prior to removing my equipment from the test facility.
