Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) remains the Cognizant Security Agency (CSA) for individuals performing work with collateral (SECRET or TOP SECRET) security clearances. As such, Security Executive Agent Directive (SEAD) 3 reporting should continue to be provided to the Contractor’s Facility Security Officer (FSO) for reporting to DCSA via Defense Information Security System (DISS).

DCSA will also dictate mandatory security training as the CSA for the collateral cleared community.

B. Personnel Security Requirements

Contractor personnel performing Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) work on the contract are required to have active TS/SCI clearances for access to TS/SCI facilities, when performing duties within TS/SCI environments, and for access to TS/SCI computer systems for the performance of this contract. Contractors are subject to a Counterintelligence-Scope Polygraph examination, as requested by NGA. As a condition of employment and assignment, contractors who have not successfully completed polygraph testing within the last five years must immediately schedule a polygraph examination and must complete the process, in no more than three test sessions, within 90 days.

All Contractor personnel shall possess a current Top Secret Personnel Security Clearance and be eligible for favorable NGA adjudication for SCI access. The government will be responsible for verifying security clearances/SCI eligibility of the Contractor personnel in accordance with (IAW) SEAD 7: “Reciprocity of Background Investigations and National Security Adjudications”. If needed, NGA will sponsor SCI accesses at its sole discretion. NGA will provide badges, Common Access Cards (CAC) and other items (e.g. parking hangtags) when applicable, for required Contractor personnel.

Cleared Contractor personnel will be enrolled into Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Continuous Evaluation System (CES) throughout the lifecycle of the contract while at NGA IAW SEAD 6: “Continuous Evaluation”. Cleared Contractor personnel must self-report security issues, foreign contacts, and other applicable information IAW SEAD 3: “Reporting Requirements for Personnel with Access to Classified Information or Who Hold a Sensitive Position” and NGA Instruction 5205.3, “Security Reporting Requirements”. In addition, cleared Contractors will be required to submit electronic fingerprints and be enrolled into NGA’s Report of Arrest and Prosecution Background (RAPBack) program, which supports CES.

Cleared Contractor personnel, who are designated as Tier 3 Privileged Users or holding enhanced access through a Special/Controlled Access Program (SAP/CAP), will be required to participate in NGA’s annual Security Financial Disclosure Program (SFDP) as directed by D/NGA in the 20 November 2020 memorandum titled “Designation of NGA Personnel Required to Participate in the Security Financial Disclosure Program”.

The Contractor shall inform NGA as soon as practicable when its employees will no longer support the contract (see DD254). NGA desires notification prior to the day the individual no longer supports the contract but requires notification no later than the day that contract support ends.
