    Operations Security (OPSEC) Contract Requirements.pdf

OPSEC protects sensitive Critical Information (CI) from adversaries, whether classified or unclassified. Contractors may need an OPSEC plan, which identifies and monitors their OPSEC activities, to be submitted after award. All contractors and subcontractors working for PHNSY&IMF must prevent inadvertent disclosure of CI, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), operational schedules, and equipment details. Prohibited actions include publicizing CI in newsletters, on social media, or via personal email. Unauthorized disclosure can lead to contract termination, criminal prosecution, and penalties. The policy also restricts personal electronic devices (PEDs) in shipyard areas. Contractors must implement countermeasures like shredding sensitive documents, not posting shipyard information online, and immediately reporting any unauthorized disclosures or compromises of CI.
