Attachment C Classified Submission Instructions

Classified Submission Instructions, Requirements, and Procedures (applicable to all Proposers)
Classified abstract submissions should NOT be submitted through DARPA’s BAA Website or Grants.gov. Proposers will likely still need to visit https://baa.darpa.mil to register their organization (or verify an existing registration) to ensure the BAA office can verify and finalize their submission—instructions for this process can be obtained by inquiry via the BAA Coordinator inbox [email protected].
Proposers choosing to submit classified information from other classified sources (i.e., sources other than DARPA) must ensure (1) they have permission from an authorized individual at the cognizant Government agency (e.g., Contracting Officer, Program Manager); (2) the proposal is marked in accordance with the source Security Classification Guide (SCG) from which the material is derived; and (3) the source SCG is submitted along with the proposal. Proposers should include with their abstract the program security requirements unique to their submission. Common program security requirements include but are not limited to: OPSEC contracting/sub-contracting plans; foreign participation or materials utilization plans; program protection plans (which may entail the following) manufacturing and integration plans; range utilization and support plans (air, sea, land, space, and cyber); data dissemination plans; asset transportation plans; classified test activity plans; disaster recovery plans; classified material / asset disposition plans and public affairs / communications plans.
