Classified Work Performance Security Requirements

Contractors must abide by the DD Form 254 - Contract Security Classification Specification (referred to as DD254 hereafter), the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM 32 CFR Part 117), and all other applicable security policies and regulations including operational security (OPSEC) requirements.

Some personnel may need to obtain access to Special Access Program (SAP), and/or Control Access Program (CAP) and/or Alternate Compensatory Control Measures (ACCM) Information as required for the execution of NGA’s sensitive program missions. Access will not be granted without written permission from the COR.

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.

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.

Upon onboarding, all cleared NGA contractors shall be enrolled into the NGA Continuous Vetting program and the Office of Director of National Intelligence Continuous Evaluation System IAW SEAD 6: “Continuous Evaluation” and Trusted Workforce (TW) 2.0 requirements. Cleared NGA contractors must report new applicable security issues, new foreign travel/contacts, and other required information to their FSO and NGA personnel security 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”. Additionally, cleared NGA contractors will be required to be enrolled into a Report of Arrest and Prosecution Background (RAPBack) program, which also complies with TW 2.0 requirements.
