- Description
- This is an amendment to synopsis announcement N6339403R4009 posted 12 Sep 2003. The purpose of this amendment is to explain the event-based security qualification procedure contained in the original synopsis announcement and in the solicitation, define security sponsorship and to invoke a time limit for submission of security information. The solicitation invokes an event-based security qualification procedure where offeror's security qualifications are evaluated at three points to ensure unqualified offerors do not receive access to classified material (the SOW) and only offerors immediately ready to commence contract performance are eligible for award. The three-phased events are: (1) qualification (clearance and need-to-know) to receive the SOW, (2) qualification at time of proposal submission and (3) qualification at time of award. Qualification for phase (1) was specif ied in the pre-solicitation announcement. Qualification for phases (2) and (3) is contained in the solicitation. A "sanitized" version of the SOW will not be provided because of (a) the cost of providing various matrixes of documents that may be requested, (b) offerors not receiving the entire SOW will not be responsive and (c) the event based qualification procedure specifies higher standards than the SOW classification level. Qualified small businesses may request and receive the SOW. The acquisition remains a small business set-aside. For offerors who are cleared to receive the SOW, the following security documents will be provided: (1) A DD254 Contract Security Specification authorizing possession of the classified SOW and production of a classified proposal not to exceed the SECRET/NOFORN level and (2) an additional DD254 authorizing higher-level submission upon request and satisfaction of supplementary security requirements. Sponsorship will not be provided for new or upgraded facility clearances. TIME LIMIT FOR SUBMISSION OF SECURITY INFORMATION: To be eligible to receive the classified SOW, offerors must meet the security requirements and provide the required data. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: (A) have a Defense Security Service (DSS) issued facility clearance providing for TOP SECRET personnel clearances and SECRET safeguarding. Such facility clearance must be unrestricted, that is not be under a special security agreement or have any restrictions on access to TOP SECRET, communication security services, cryptographic materials and equipment, Restricted Data or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and; (B) have an appointed Contractor Special Security Officer (CSSO). REQUIRED DATA: (1) Cage Code (2) Legal Name, Known Name (if different) (3) Physical Address (4) Level of Clearance (personnel clearances authorized must be TOP SECRET (5) Storage/Safeguarding Level (must be SECRET or above) (6) Status of Clearance (must be active) (7) Facility Security Officer name/phone (8) Classified Mailing Address (9) Cognizant DSS Office location (10) DSS Industrial Security Representative name/phone and (11) a copy of the CSSO designation letter. If the designation letter is not government issued, the offeror must also include objective evidence of the source of government authority to make such a designation. All multiple locations require separate submissions for the facility to which the SOW shall be sent. Offerors are cautioned that this information will be verified with the DSS Central Verification Activity (CVA) located at www.dss.mil and any inaccuracies may result in a determination of not qualified to receive the SOW. The above information shall be sent via mail or other carrier to: Special Security Representative (SSR), Naval Surface Warfare Center, 160 Rochester Dr, Louisville, KY 40214-2685 and MUST BE RECEIVED by the SSR on or before close of business, 4:00 pm EST, 28 Jan 2004. Failure to furnish accurate and complete information will result in the offeror being ineligible to receive the classified SOW and will render the offeror ineligible to receive contract award.
