5. The Contractor shall conduct annual self-assessments of their OPSEC program and submit annual written assessments to the Contracting Officer in the anniversary month of contract award. OPSEC Assessment checklists and sample assessment responses will be provided in advance by the Government as tools to aid the Contractor in assessing their OPSEC program.

6. The Contractor shall provide OPSEC training to all employees regarding the safeguarding of sensitive information prior to employees being allowed access to such information, and annually thereafter.

7. The Contractor shall destroy all sensitive program material at the completion of the contract so as to ensure the information cannot be accessed or utilized for any purpose and notify the Contracting Officer in writing of its destruction.
