The justification must address and explain how the FOCI contractor's product or service is crucial, or is the sole available source to the Air Force. NIDs have to be forwarded to SAF/AAZ for review and endorsement, then to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Counterintelligence and Security (OSD-USD/I) for final approval.
