16. NOTICE TO DOD EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS ON PROTECTING CLASSIFIED

INFORMATION AND THE INTEGRITY OF UNCLASSIFIED GOVERNMENT INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS

The recent disclosure of U.S. Government documents by WikiLeaks has caused damage to our national security. Each DoD employee and contractor is obligated to protect classified information and the integrity of government IT systems in accordance with applicable laws and DoD policies.

Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on websites) do not alter the documents’ classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by DoD employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate original classification authority.

DoD employees and contractors are reminded of the following obligations with respect to protecting classified information and the integrity of unclassified government IT systems.

DoD employees or contractors shall not access classified information unless they have:

o Received a favorable determination of eligibility for access by an appropriate authority, o Signed an approved nondisclosure agreement, o Demonstrated a need to know the information, and o Received training on proper safeguarding of classified information and on the criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions that may be imposed on an individual who fails to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure.

DoD employees or contractors shall not remove classified information from official premises or disclose it without proper authorization.

Except as authorized by DoD policy and procedures, DoD employees or contractors shall not, while accessing the web on unclassified government systems (including BlackBerries or other smartphones), access or download documents that are marked classified (including classified documents publicly available on WikiLeaks.org and other websites), as doing so risks putting classified information on unclassified IT systems.

This requirement applies to accessing or downloading that occurs using government computers or employees’ or contractors’ personally owned computers that access unclassified government systems, either through remote Outlook access or other remote access capabilities that enable connection to these government systems.

This requirement does not restrict employee or contractor access to unclassified, publicly available news reports (and other unclassified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to the underlying classified documents available on public websites or otherwise in the public domain.

DoD employees or contractors shall refer all public queries on this matter to their servicing Public Affairs office; they shall neither confirm or deny the presence of classified information in articles or websites in the public domain.

DoD employees or contractors shall refer Congressional queries pertaining to the presence of classified information in articles or websites in the public domain to their servicing Congressional Affairs office.

DoD employees and contractors who believe they have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified information from a public website via an unclassified government IT system, or without prior authorization, shall contact their information assurance manager (IAM) or information assurance office (IAO) for assistance. Note: In the case of classified documents inadvertently accessed or downloaded from the WikiLeaks website or other websites posting WikiLeaks-related classified documents, the IAM will document each occurrence and delete the affected file (s) by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing the DELETE key for Windows-based systems. No incident report or further sanitization of government IT systems is required. This guidance pertains only to the accessing or downloading of the classified documents described above because of the extent of the compromise and the prohibitive cost of standard sanitization procedures. All other classified spillages must be handled in accordance with existing regulations.

17. After Award:

Contractor shall ensure all materials to be install or used in the performance of the work complies with the terms and conditions of the contract as well as Government approval is obtained before any order is placed, as required.

Failure to obtain approval of specific materials/equipment to be used in the performance of the contract and/or other required in the contract, may lead to contractor reworking/purchasing the required item at the contractor’s expense.

Any deviation as a result of the contractor understanding there is a “best practice”, “better material” or “best practice for work, prior approval of the Government is required.

18. Responsibility of Contractor/Contractor’s Risk:

Failure of Timely Submission of required documents for issuance of Notice to Proceed may lead to delays in ordering of materials, increase material prices or materials not being available.

Request Contractor monitor submission of submittals, Request for Information or other documentation sent to the Government. Failure of one or more Government personnel to not respond timely to documents, please send an email to the Contracting Officer.

19. MEDICAL MARIHUANA/CANNABIS:

Federal Government prohibits the use of any illegal drugs at Fort Buchanan including medical marihuana/Cannabis. Contractor is responsible to instruct employees to avoid any used or distribution on Fort Buchanan premises. Contractor will be responsible. If any employee is practicing this action, they will be prosecuted as required by the applicable Federal laws at Fort Buchanan.

20. FIREARMS: Essentially, there are no concealed weapons allowed on the installation, with the exception of military and federal law enforcement, who have the authority to carry in the performance of their duties.

Bringing a weapon into a federal building or onto a federal installation is against the law.

This regulation is punitive. Personnel subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) who fail to comply with the requirements of this regulation are subject to punishment under the UCMJ, as well as to adverse administrative action and other adverse action authorized by applicable United States Code sections or Federal regulations.

Personnel not subject to the UCMJ who fail to comply with the provisions of this regulation are subject to adverse administrative action or criminal prosecution as authorized by applicable laws of the United States It does not matter if you have a license to carry a firearm in Puerto Rico or in any other US state. The firearm license does not authorize you to have a firearm on Fort Buchanan.

Failure to abide by the above, may cause further adverse actions against the employee and/or contractor.
