INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION:

NON-SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (NON-SCI) ADDENDUM

The DD Form 254, block 10e(2) is marked YES, Intelligence information, NON-SCI, therefore the contractor must comply with the following instructions.

1. Requirements for access to non-SCI:

a. All intelligence material released to the contractor remains the property of the U.S. Government and may be withdrawn at any time. Contractors must maintain accountability for all classified intelligence released into their custody.

b. The contractor must not reproduce intelligence material without the written permission of the originating agency through the Intelligence Support Office. If permission is granted, each copy shall be controlled in the same manner as the original.

c. The contractor must not destroy any intelligence material without advance approval or as specified by the Contract Monitor (CM). (EXCEPTION: Classified waste shall be destroyed as soon as practicable in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Security Program).

d. The contractor must restrict access to only those individuals who possess the necessary security clearance and who are actually providing services under the contract with a valid need to know. Further dissemination to other contractors, subcontractors, other government agencies, private individuals or organizations is prohibited unless authorized in writing by the originating agency through the CM.

e. The contractor must ensure each employee having access to intelligence material is fully aware of the special security requirements for this material and shall maintain records in a manner that will permit the contractor to furnish, on demand, the names of individuals who have had access to this material in their custody.

f. Intelligence material must not be released to foreign nationals or immigrant aliens whether they are consultants, US contractors, or employees of the contractor and regardless of the level of their security clearance, except with advance written permission from the originator. Request for release to foreign nationals shall be initially forwarded to the contract monitor and shall include:

(1) A copy of the proposed disclosure.

(2) Full justification reflecting the benefits to US interests.

(3) Name, nationality, particulars of clearance, and current access authorization of each proposed foreign national recipient.

g. Upon completion or termination of the classified contract, or sooner when the purpose of the release has been served, the contractor will return all classified intelligence (furnished or generated) to the source from which received unless retention or other disposition instructions are authorized in writing by the CM.

h. The contractor must designate an individual who is working on the contract as custodian. The designated custodian shall be responsible for receipting and accounting for all classified intelligence material received under this contract. This does not mean that the custodian must personally receipt for all classified material. The inner wrapper of all classified material dispatched should be marked for the attention of a designated custodian and must not be opened by anyone not working directly on the contract.

i. Within 30 days after the final product is received and accepted by the procuring agency, classified intelligence materials released to or generated by the contractor, must be returned to the originating agency through the contract monitor unless written instructions authorizing destruction or retention are issued. Requests to retain material shall be directed to the CM for this contract in writing and must clearly indicate the justification for retention and identity of the specific document to be retained.

j. Classification, regarding, or declassification markings of documentation produced by the contractor shall be consistent with that applied to the information or documentation from which the new document was prepared. If a compilation of information or a complete analysis of a subject appears to require a security classification other than that of the source documentation, the contractor shall assign the tentative security classification and request instructions from the contract monitor. Pending final determination, the material shall be safeguarded as required for its assigned proposed classification, whichever is higher, until the classification is changed or otherwise verified.

2. Intelligence material carries special markings. The following is a list of the authorized control markings of intelligence material:

a. “Dissemination and Extraction of Information Controlled by Originator (ORCON).” This marking is used, with security classification, to enable a continuing knowledge and supervision by the; originator of the use made of the information involved. This marking may be used on intelligence, which clearly identifies, or would reasonably permit ready identification of an intelligence source or method, which is particularly susceptible to countermeasures that would nullify or measurably reduce its effectiveness. This marking may not be used when an item or information will reasonably be protected by use of other markings specified herein, or by the application of the "need-to-know" principle and the safeguarding procedures of the security classification system.

b. "Authorized for Release to (name of country/ International Organization)." The above is abbreviated REL. This marking must be used when it is necessary to identify classified intelligence material the US government originator has predetermined to be releasable or has been released through established foreign disclosure channels to the indicated country(ies) or organization.

3. The following procedures govern the use of control markings.

a. Any recipient desiring to use intelligence in a manner contrary to restrictions established by the control marking set forth above shall obtain the advance permission of the originating agency through the CM. Such permission applies only to the specific purposes agreed to by the originator and does not automatically apply to all recipients. Originators shall ensure that prompt consideration is given to recipients' requests in these regards, with particular attention to reviewing and editing, if necessary, sanitized or paraphrased versions to derive a text suitable for release subject to lesser or no control markings.

b. The control marking authorized above shall be shown on the title page, front cover, and other applicable pages of documents, incorporated in the text of electrical communications, shown on graphics, and associated (in full or abbreviated form) with data stored or processed in automatic data processing systems. The control marking also shall be indicated by parenthetical use of the marking abbreviations at the beginning or end of the appropriate portions. If the control marking applies to several or all portions, the document must be marked with a statement to this effect rather than marking each portion individually.

c. The control markings shall be individually assigned at the time of preparation of intelligence products and used in conjunction with security classifications and other marking specified by E.O. 12958 and its implementing security directives. The marking shall be carried forward to any new format in which the same information is incorporated including oral and visual presentations.

4. Request for release of intelligence material to a contractor must be prepared by the Contract Monitor (CM) and submitted to the Intelligence Support Office. This should be accomplished as soon as possible after the contract has been awarded. The request will be prepared and accompanied with a letter explaining the requirements and copies of the DD Form 254 and Statement of Work.

ATTACHMENT 3

RELEASE OF INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION ADDENDUM

The DD Form 254, block 10e is marked YES, Intelligence Information, therefore the contractor must comply with the following instructions.

1. Authorized Control Markings of Intelligence Information

a. "Dissemination and Extraction of Information Controlled by Originator (ORCON).” This marking is used only on classified intelligence that clearly identifies or would reasonably permit ready identification of intelligence sources or methods that are particularly susceptible to countermeasures that would nullify or measurably reduce their effectiveness. It is used to enable the originator to maintain continuing knowledge and supervision of the further use of intelligence beyond the original dissemination. This control marking may not be used when an item of information will reasonably be protected by use of any other markings specified herein, or by the application of the "need-to-know" principle and safeguarding procedures of the security classification system.

b. "Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals (NOFORN).” This control marking is used to identify classified intelligence material that may not be released in any form to foreign governments, foreign nationals, or non-US citizens without permission of the US Government originator, and then only when released in compliance with the National Disclosure Policy.

c. "Authorized for Release to (Name of country(s)/international organization.” This marking is used to identify classified intelligence material that the US Government Originator has predetermined to be releasable or has been released through established foreign disclosure channels to the indicated country(s) or organization.

2. Procedures Governing Use of Control Markings

a. Any recipient desiring to use intelligence in a manner contrary to the restrictions established by the control markings set forth above, shall obtain the advanced permission of the originating agency. Such permission applies only to the specific purposes agreed to by the originator and does not automatically apply to all recipients. Originator will ensure that prompt consideration is given to recipients' requests, with particular attention to reviewing and editing if necessary, sanitized or paraphrased versions to derive a text suitable for release subject to lesser or no control markings.

b. The control markings authorized above shall be shown on the title page, front cover, and other applicable pages of documents, incorporated in the text of electrical communications, shown on graphics, and associated (in full or abbreviated form) with data stored or processed in automatic data processing systems. The control markings also shall be indicated by parenthetical use of the markings abbreviations at the beginning or end of the appropriate portions. If the control markings apply to several or all portions, the document may be marked with a statement to this effect rather than marking each portion individually.

c. The control markings in paragraph one (1) shall be individually assigned at the time of preparation of intelligence products and used in conjunction with security classifications and other markings specified by EO 12958 and its implementing ISOO Directive. The markings shall be carried forward to any new format in which the same information is incorporated, including oral and visual presentations.

ATTACHMENT 4

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) ADDENDUM

The DD Form 254, block 10J is marked YES, For Official Use Only Information (FOUO), therefore, the contractor must comply with the following FOUO handling instructions.

1. GENERAL: As of 1 December 2022, no new documents will be marked FOUO. The following FOUO instructions are only for those documents currently marked FOUO. The instructions comply with guidance provided in NSTISSI 4002; and the Privacy Act; the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); and the Information Security Program.

a. The FOUO marking is assigned to information at the time of its creation in a DoD User Agency. 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.

b. Use of the FOUO marking does not mean that the information cannot 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.

2. IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS:

a. An unclassified document containing FOUO information will be marked “For Official Use Only” at the bottom of the front cover (if any), on the first page, on each page containing FOUO information, on the back page, and on the outside of the back cover (if any). No portion markings will be shown.

b. Within a classified document, an individual page that contains both FOUO and classified information will be marked at the top and bottom with the highest security classification of information appearing on the page. If an individual portion contains FOUO information but no classified information, the portion will be marked, “FOUO.”

c. Any “For Official Use Only” information released to a contractor by a DOD User Agency is required to be marked with the following statement prior to transfer:

This document contains information EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE under the FOIA. Exemptions _______ apply.

d. Removal of the FOUO marking can only be accomplished by the originator or other competent authority. When the FOUO status is terminated, all known holders will be notified to the extent practical.

3. DISSEMINATION: Contractors may disseminate “For Official Use Only” information to their employees and subcontractors who have a need for the information in connection with a classified contract.

4. STORAGE: During working hours, “For Official Use Only” information shall be placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to persons who do not have a need for the information. During non-working hours, the information shall be stored to preclude unauthorized access. Filing such material with other unclassified records in unlocked files or desk is adequate when internal building security is provided during non-working hours. When such internal security control is not exercised, locked buildings or rooms will provide adequate after-hours protection or the material can be stored in locked receptacles such as file cabinets, desks, or bookcases.

5. TRANSMISSION: “For Official Use Only” information may be sent via first –class mail or parcel post. Bulky shipments may be sent by fourth-class mail. Electronic transmission of FOUO information, e.g., voice, data or facsimile, e-mail, shall be by approved secure communications systems or systems utilizing access controls such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), whenever practical. When sending FOUO records over facsimile equipment, use cover sheets and consider the location of the sending and receiving machines to ensure authorized personnel are available to receive FOUO information. Exercise caution before transmitting personal information over e-mail to ensure it is adequately safeguarded. Some information may be so sensitive and personal that e-mail may not be the proper way to transmit it. When sending personal information over e-mail within DoD, ensure: (1) there is an official need; (2) all addressee(s) (including “cc” addressees) are authorized to receive it under the Privacy Act; and (3) it is protected from unauthorized disclosure, loss, or alteration. Protection methods may include encryption or password protecting the information in a separate Word document. When transmitting personal information over e-mail, add “FOUO” to the beginning of the subject line, followed by the subject, and apply the following statement at the beginning of the e-mail:

“This e-mail contains FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) information which must be protected under the Privacy Act and AFI 33-332.”

Do not indiscriminately apply this statement to e-mails. Use it only in situations when you are actually transmitting personal information. DoD Regulation 5400.7/AF Supp, Chapter 4, provides additional guidance regarding FOUO information.

6. DISPOSITION: When no longer needed, FOUO information may be disposed of by any means approved for the destruction of classified information, or by tearing each copy into pieces to preclude reconstructing, and placing it in a regular trash container, or as directed by the User Agency.

7. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE: The unauthorized disclosure of “For Official Use Only” information does not constitute a security violation but the releasing agency should be informed of any unauthorized disclosure. The unauthorized disclosure of FOUO information protected by the Privacy Act may result in criminal sanctions.

ATTACHMENT 5

The DD Form 254, block 11e is marked YES, PERFORM SERVICES ONLY, therefore, teh contractor must be made aware of the following:

a. Contract is for equipment maintenance services on equipment which processes classified information. Actual knowledge of, generation, or production of classified information is not required for the performance of the contract. Cleared personnel are required to perform this service because access to classified information cannot be precluded by escorting individuals. Any classification guidance will be provided by the using activity.

ATTACHMENT 6

OPSEC REQUIREMENTS ADDENDUM

The DD Form 254, block 11j is marked YES, HAVE OPERATIONS SECURITY (OPSEC) REQUIREMENTS; therefore, the contractor must comply with the following OPSEC instructions.

11j: HAVE OPERATION SECURITY (OPSEC) REQUIREMENTS: OPSEC is a structured process that identifies critical information, analyzes friendly actions, integrates threat analysis and risk assessments, then helps personnel apply protective measures to mitigate unacceptable risk. Organizations and personnel supporting 17TH Training Group (AETC) may have OPSEC requirements associated with their activities and support. The contractor will comply 17TH Training Group (AETC) OPSEC Program. The basis for the on-site contractor OPSEC program is AFI 10-701. OPSEC requirements apply. The contractor must comply with special OPSEC requirements contained in the contract or addendum thereto. The following standard expectations are included in all work:

a. The contractor supporting specific event-oriented activities will develop OPSEC Plans/Annexes when directed by the supported program, or comply with the program's OPSEC Plan/Annex.

b. Personnel assigned will receive OPSEC Awareness Education and Duty-Related Training as deemed necessary by the Government or program supported.

c. OPSEC Awareness Education and Training will be provided or coordinated through government channels.

HSPD-12: The contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification procedures identified in the contract that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directives-12 (HSPD-12), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M-05-24, Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) number 201) and GSA HSPD-12, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Personnel Security Process, dated November 18, 2005.

NOTE: The contractor shall insert the following clause in all subcontracts whom the subcontractor is required to have physical access to a federal controlled facility or access to a Federal information system.

Position Sensitivity: In accordance with DOD 5200.2-R, the DoD Personnel Security Program, this contract requires personnel performing work on a sensitive AIS to be: 1) a US Citizen, and 2) assigned to positions which are designated at one of 3 sensitivity levels (IT –I, IT – II, or IT – III). These designations equate to Critical Sensitive and Non-Critical Sensitive positions. The Contractor will ensure individuals assigned to these sensitive positions have completed the appropriate access requests forms.

• IT – Level I – Individuals assigned to positions where damage to DoD networks and development systems can be accomplished and no checks are in place to determine potential destruction of sensitive information. The investigation requirement for these positions is completion of Special Security Background investigation (SSBI) with favorable results.

• IT Level – II and III – Individuals assigned to positions where daily unsupervised access to DoD networks and information systems containing Sensitive but Unclassified or Sensitive Classified up to and including Collateral Secret information is part of their duties. The Investigation requirement for these positions is completion of a Defense National Agency Check with Written Inquires (DNQACI) with favorable results.

• These positions require that investigations be completed prior to assigning individuals to a position of trust. A US Citizens that has a DNACI in process and a successful local records check, can be allowed assignment to the positions before the completion of the investigation, in the best interest of the DoD, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

• Foreign nationals may be appointed to Positions IT – II and III if they: 1) possess a unique or unusual skill or expertise that is urgently needed for a specific DoD requirements and for which a suitable US citizen is not available; and 2) approved in writing by HRC. Under no circumstances can these individuals be assigned before completion and favorable adjudication of the appropriate security investigation.

• The government retains the right to request removal of contract personnel, regardless of prior clearance or adjudication status, whose actions clearly conflict with the interest of the Government. The reason for removal will be fully documented in writing by the Contracting Officer. When and if such removal occurs, the Contractor will, within 30 working days, assign qualified personnel to any vacancies thus created.

• Where access to classified information is necessary in the performance of the duties called for under this contract, the guidance contained in the DoD 5200.2-R apply. A determination of eligibility for access to classified information or assignment to sensitive duties is a discretionary security decision based on judgments by appropriately trained adjudicative personnel.

ATTACHMENT 7

CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI)

The DD Form 254, block 10J is marked YES, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), therefore, the contractor must comply with the following CUI handling instructions.

CUI is information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls. CUI is not classified under Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information, or 42 USC § 2011-2259, as amended. All CUI must be controlled until authorized for public release in accordance with DoDIs 5230.09, Clearance of DoD Information for Public Release, 5230.29, Security and Policy Review of DoD Information for Public Release, DoDM 5400.07, DoD Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Program, and DoDM 5205.07-V1, DoD SAP Security Manual: General Procedures.

The authorities to waive wing/unit level requirements in this publication are identified with a Tier (“T-0, T-1, T-2, T-3”) number following the compliance statement.

The following procedures will be used to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) information.

1. MARKING:

This paragraph covers the essential marking requirements for initial phased implementation of the DoD CUI Program. Markings shall be immediately apparent, alert holders to the presence of CUI, identify the office of origin, identify the category(ies) of CUI in the document, and provide guidance on distribution/dissemination. (T-1).

a. At minimum, CUI markings for unclassified DoD documents will include the acronym “CUI” in the banner and footer of the document. In addition to banner markings, all DAF correspondence containing CUI will have the CUI designation indicator on the cover or first page of the document. (T-0).

b. If portion markings are selected, then all document subjects and titles, as well as individual sections, parts, paragraphs, or similar portions of a CUI document known to contain CUI, will be portion marked with “(CUI).” Use of the unclassified marking “(U)” as a portion marking for unclassified information within CUI documents or materials is required.

(1) There is no requirement to add the “U,” signifying unclassified, to the banner and footer as was required with the old FOUO marking (i.e., U//FOUO).

(2) Banners, footers, and portion marking will only be marked “Unclassified” or “(U)” for unclassified information in accordance with the June 4, 2019 ISOO letter. If the document also contains CUI, it will be marked in accordance with Paragraph 3.4.a. and additional forthcoming guidance.

(3) Do not use the CUI portion marking in subject lines of memorandums or emails unless the information in the subject line contains CUI. Likewise, do not label file names with the CUI portion marking for the same reasons.

(4) Do not use former agency dissemination controls such as Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES), DoD Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (DoD UCNI), Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU), and DEA Sensitive with CUI markings. These former markings should be represented accordingly as CUI categories in the CUI Designation Indicator block.

c. CUI markings in classified documents will appear in paragraphs or subparagraphs known to contain only CUI and must be portion marked with “(CUI).” CUI will not appear in the banner or footer.

(1) There will be an acknowledgement added to the warning box on the first page of multi-page documents to alert readers to the presence of CUI in a classified DoD document, as shown in Figure 1.

(2) Volume 2 of DoDM 5200.01 requires DoD intelligence producers to follow DNI formats for intelligence production under the authority of the DNI. When DoD CUI is incorporated into a Digital Access Policy under the authority of the DNI, the information and the document will follow the Digital Access Policy standards established by the DNI.

(3) Classified documents containing CUI will include both the classification authority block and CUI designation indicator. (T-0).

(4) If all the sub-paragraphs or sub-bullet points carry the same classification as the main paragraph or bullet point, portion marking is not required for the sub-paragraphs or sub-bullet points. However, if any of the sub-paragraphs or sub-bullet points carry different classifications from the main paragraph or bullet point, portion marking is required for the sub-paragraphs or sub-bullet points. (T-0).

d. The dissemination marking “not releasable to foreign nationals (NOFORN or NF)” is an intelligence control marking used to identify intelligence information an originator has determined meets the criteria of Intelligence Community Directive 710 and Intelligence Community Policy Guidance 403.1, which provides guidance for further dissemination control markings. It must be applied to controlled unclassified intelligence information that is properly characterized as CUI with appropriate CUI markings. CUI identified with this marking will not be provided, in any form, to foreign governments (including coalition partners), international organizations, foreign nationals, or other non-U.S. persons without the originator’s approval in accordance with E.O.s 13526 and 13556. If originator approval is required for further dissemination, the originator will mark the requirement on the information in accordance with Section 4.1(i)(1) of E.O. 13526.

(1) The application of the control marking “not releasable to foreign nationals” (NOFORN or NF) will only be applied, when warranted, to unclassified intelligence information properly categorized as CUI and reviewed by a Foreign Disclosure Officer to ensure there are no international agreements in place to prohibit its use and prohibiting sharing.

(a) If the use of NOFORN is authorized, the banner line will read “CUI//NOFORN.” The “(CUI/NF)” portion marking is applied preceding the applicable portion.

(2) The control marking NOFORN or NF will be applied to Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI), Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI), National Disclosure Policy (NDP-1), and cover and cover support information. When warranted, it can be applied to unclassified information properly categorized as CUI having a licensing or export control requirement. Before marking a document or material as NOFORN or NF, it will be reviewed by the Foreign Disclosure Officer to ensure there are no agreements in place to prohibit its use and sharing.

(3) The application of “Releasable to” (“REL TO”) can only be applied, when warranted and consistent with relevant law, regulation, or government-wide policy or DoD policy, to information properly categorized as CUI with an export control or licensing requirement with a foreign disclosure agreement in place.

(a) Export-controlled CUI transfers to foreign persons must be in accordance with the Arms Export Control Act, International Traffic in Arms Regulations, Export Control Reform Act, Export Administration Regulations, and DoDI 2040.02. In accordance with DoDDs 5230.11 and 5230.20, a positive foreign disclosure decision must be made before CUI is released to a foreign entity.

(b) DoD operational CUI (not related to intelligence) may be marked as REL TO.

(3) For DAF information authorized for release to foreign nationals/representatives, “REL TO” will be placed in the banner line with the list of country trigraphs and/or tetragraphs (e.g., CUI//REL TO USA, XXX, XXX). “USA” is always listed first with the remaining trigraphs following in alphabetical order, followed by tetragraphs in alphabetical order.

(a) The applicable portion will be marked “CUI//REL,” if the information is releasable to the same countries in the banner line. If countries are different, the portion marking must list all countries that are applicable.

(b) When REL TO and NF portions are in the same document, NOFORN takes priority and will roll-up to the banner line. This rule applies to both unclassified and classified documents.

e. All classified documents, including legacy documents will be reviewed for CUI and properly marked upon changes in the document’s classification level, particularly if the documents are to be completely declassified.

f. The first page or cover of any document or material containing CUI, including a document with commingled classified information, will include a CUI designation indicator, as shown in Figure 2. This CUI designation indicator is similar to the classification-marking block used for CNSI documents and materials. Documents and materials containing CUI will require a generic “CUI” marking at the top and bottom of each page.

(1) In accordance with Part 2002 of Title 32, CFR, the CUI designation indicator must contain, at minimum, the name of the DoD Component determining that the information is CUI.
