About this file

This notice provides guidance to construction, design and engineering contractors on the release of information related to Department of State projects. Prime contractors and all subcontractors, regardless of security clearance level, are prohibited from publicly releasing any information regarding Department of State projects without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer. This includes photographs, documents, and records generated during project work in any format, as well as publications, broadcasts, or other media. All information associated with Department of State projects is considered sensitive and must be safeguarded from general public release. Contractors currently publishing such information without approval must notify the identified Contracting Officers by email to have the information reviewed for approval or disapproval. For any future desired releases of Department of State project information, contractors must submit a request with details to the same Contracting Officers for advance approval.

The related federal contract opportunity seeks proposals from qualified architect/engineer firm-led teams for twelve indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts to provide comprehensive design and engineering services to the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations. At least three of the contracts will be set aside for small businesses. Interested offerors should review the attached documents for full submission requirements. The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management will award the contracts.

There shall be no release of information related to any project, which includes photographs in any medium, including your company website or any Internet forum. This prohibition also applies to all firms involved in the project including subcontractors at any tier. Because of this, prime contractors are requested to distribute the contents of this letter to all of their cleared and uncleared subcontractors performing work on DOS projects.

All documents and records (including photographs) generated during the performance of work under these projects shall be for sole use of and shall become the exclusive property of the U.S.

Government. No article, book, pamphlet, recording, broadcast, speech, television appearance, film or photograph concerning any aspect of the work performed under these projects shall be published or disseminated through any medium without the prior written authorization of the Contracting

Officer. These obligations do not cease upon the expiration or termination of the projects or at any other point in time.

Information associated with any DOS project is considered sensitive and needs to be safeguarded against general public release. Please be reminded that your company, your employees, and subcontractors shall exercise the utmost discretion in regards to all matters, materials, and data relating to their duties and functions on Diplomatic projects.

If you currently have DOS project material on your website, or any other public medium, that hasn’t been approved by a DOS Contracting Officer, immediately email SavageJM@state.gov, AND

LeungJB@state.gov with the information you’ve published and the Internet site where such information could be found. The information will be reviewed by the Department for approval or disapproval.

If you wish to publish DOS project information on your website, in print, or other media in the future, please submit your request with the information you would like to release prior to publication to SavageJM@state.gov AND LeungJB@state.gov (email all) for approval. If available please include the contract or task order number.
