    The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) outlines crucial Operations Security (OPSEC) contract requirements to protect sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure. An OPSEC Plan must be developed by contractors to identify and monitor OPSEC activities during the contract period, ensuring the safeguarding of Critical Information and Indicators (CII). Contractors must avoid accidental disclosures of both classified and unclassified information and take measures to prevent compromise by unauthorized individuals, particularly those under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI). Additionally, a Portable Electronic Device (PED) policy specifies controls regarding the use of transportable devices that can capture or transmit sensitive data. Key contractual responsibilities include not publicizing CII, reporting any compromises, and protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) through secure transmission and shredding of sensitive documents. Violations may lead to termination of contracts and legal repercussions. The document serves both as guidance for contract compliance and a security framework focusing on the protection of government-sensitive information, crucial for contractors participating in federal operations and activities.
