1. I, _____INSERT NAME_______, an employee of _____INSERT COMPANY NAME_____, understand as part of my duties as an employee working under contract number _____INSERT CONTRACT NUMBER _____ that I may acquire or have access to privileged, proprietary, or otherwise sensitive information. This access many include direct access to the information that is specifically provided to me for work under the Contract or indirect access to information incidental to the work performed under the Contract.

2. It is the United States Government’s intent to strictly protect and manage access to, and to prevent unauthorized disclosure of the Government’s information. This includes preventing disclosure of sensitive and non-public information to anyone not working on the Contract.

3. Protected Information may include, but is not limited to: proprietary information; advance procurement information; source selection information; trade secrets; internal Government operational information; and confidential business information submitted by a Contractor regardless of whether such information is written, oral, or designated as sensitive, proprietary, or confidential at the time of its disclosure.

4. I certify that I shall not use Protected Information other than in performance of my assignment under the Contract, and that I shall only disclose Protected Information to either ____INSERT COMPANY NAME____ employees working on this Contract, Government employees, or other personnel authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative.

5. I further acknowledge that the unauthorized disclosure of Protected Information to anyone not associated with the support of the contract could result in a personal and/or organization conflict of interest for myself and/or ____INSERT COMPANY NAME____.

6. I understand and agree that access to Protected Information precludes me from participating, on my own behalf, on behalf of ___INSERT COMPANY NAME___ or subsequent employers, or on behalf of others in the preparation of cost or technical proposals or taking part in contract negotiations involving or related to future requirements or project, if such participating involves utilization of Protected Information.

7. I agree that I will clearly identify myself as a representative of ___INSERT COMPANY NAME___ prior to engaging in any communications through which Protected Information may be obtained from Government personnel or third parties (e.g., meetings, telephones, and other situations where Contractor status is not obvious.)

8. I will not disclose or use any sensitive and non-public information or any Protected Information in any manner inconsistent with the laws, regulations, or policies of the United States Government or any agency thereof, including 18 U.S.C. § 1905, Disclosure of Confidential Information, and 41 U.S.C. § 432, Procurement Integrity Act.

9. I shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent the disclosure of Protected Information to any unauthorized party. I shall report to the Contracting Officer’s Representative any violation of this Agreement. If I become aware of any improper release or disclosure of Protected Information by another party, I shall report this to the Contracting Officer’s Representative or the Contracting Officer, in writing, immediately.

10. I further understand that the penalty for unauthorized disclosure or use of Protected Information may result in disciplinary actions up to and including dismissal from my employer.
