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.

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 (TS) work on the contract are required to have active TS clearances for access to TS facilities, when performing duties within TS environments, and for access to TS 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. The government will be responsible for verifying security clearances of the Contractor personnel in accordance with (IAW) SEAD 7: “Reciprocity of Background Investigations and National Security Adjudications”. NGA will provide badges, Common Access Cards (CAC) and other items (e.g. parking hangtags) when applicable, for required Contractor personnel.

Cleared Contractor personnel must self-report security issues, foreign contacts, and other applicable information 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”.

The Contractor shall inform NGA as soon as practicable when its employees will no longer support the contract (see DD254). NGA desires notification prior to the day the individual no longer supports the contract, but requires notification no later than the day that contract support ends. If Contractor personnel will no longer be supporting NGA via an NGA contract, NGA shall take all appropriate action, up to and including debriefing the contractor from any applicable access and terminating logical and physical access to NGA IT systems and facilities.
