Facility Clearance Level Sample Clauses

Facility Clearance Level. ‌ A facility clearance level (FCL) is when a Contractor’s facility is eligible for access to classified information at the Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret level. The FCL includes the execution of a Department of Defense (DoD) Security Agreement (DD Form 441 and DD Form 441-1) and Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests (SF 328). Under the terms of a FCL agreement, the Government agrees to issue the FCL and inform the Contractor as to the security classification of information to which the Contractor will have access. The Contractor, in turn, agrees to abide by the security requirements set forth in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, commonly referred to as the NISPOM. There are no mandatory levels of facility security clearance for Contractors under OASIS; however, task orders may require an FCL at any level, under OASIS. The Contractor, at its own expense, must maintain their FCL by the Defense Security Service (DSS) for the entire term of OASIS. The Contractor shall notify the OASIS CO and designated OCO for affected task orders, in writing, if there are any changes in the status of their FCL and provide the reasons for the change. If only part of a Contractor’s organization has a FCL, the Contractor shall make the distinction between which business units or sites and geographic locations have a FCL. Only those Contractors that meet a required FCL level on task order solicitations shall be eligible to compete.
