    The Past Performance Information Form serves as a structured document for vendors to report their performance on government contracts. It includes essential elements such as vendor identification, contract numbers, customer details, and key contact information. The form requires vendors to provide financial breakdowns of contract values over time, average personnel involved, and the performance period.

    The Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) Operations Security (OPSEC) Plan for Contractors outlines the requirements and protocols that contractors must follow to protect sensitive information during projects. The plan mandates that all contractors, including subcontractors, adhere to security practices to secure critical information (CI) from unauthorized disclosure. Key elements of the plan include identification of CI, risk assessment, and implementation of countermeasures to protect sensitive data. Contractors are responsible for training personnel, safeguarding sensitive information, and reporting any breaches or compromises to the appropriate authorities. The plan also restricts the use of personal electronic devices and mandates compliance with specific policies regarding personal information and documentation. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of confidentiality beyond the contract duration. The OPSEC Plan serves as a critical guide for maintaining national security and operational integrity while contractors engage with NNSY on various projects.

Its purpose is to ensure that contractors meet required performance standards as stated in the Statement of Work (SOW) and their own Quality Control Plan (QCP).
