This document outlines Operations Security (OPSEC) contract requirements for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY), emphasizing the protection of Critical Information and Indicators (CII) from unauthorized disclosure. Contractors are responsible for safeguarding both classified and unclassified sensitive information, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), operation schedules, and equipment capabilities. An OPSEC Plan may be required, depending on the contract's nature, and must be submitted prior to the start date. The use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) is controlled, and strict countermeasures are outlined to prevent information compromise, such as restricting discussions, prohibiting social media posts, and controlling photography within shipyard work areas. Violations can lead to contract termination or criminal prosecution. All unauthorized disclosures or compromises must be immediately reported to relevant security personnel.

This government file outlines critical performance requirements and surveillance methods for contractors, particularly in contexts involving submarine and tank maintenance. Key areas include strict prohibitions on personal electronic devices (PEDs) with cameras, ensuring no damage to tank structures, adherence to specific cleanliness standards (SSPC-SP 1), and precise disinfection processes. The document also details requirements for bacteriological testing, proper anode removal, marine chemist certification, adequate ventilation, and mandatory PPE usage. Waste management, including disposal and storage, is emphasized with strict adherence to regulations. Contractor failures can lead to negative CPAR ratings, contract termination, rework at the contractor's expense, financial penalties, and work stoppages. Daily coordination with the PNS Project Management Team is also a critical requirement.

The DD Form 1423, also known as the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), is a standardized form used by the Department of Defense to list data items required from a contractor. It outlines specific data deliverables, such as technical data packages, technical manuals, or other categories, for a given contract or project. The form details information like the data item number, title, authority, contract reference, requiring office, frequency of submission, and distribution requirements. It also provides instructions for both government personnel in preparing the form and contractors in understanding pricing groups (Group I, II, III, and IV) for estimating data item costs. The primary purpose of the DD Form 1423 is to ensure clear communication and agreement on all data deliverables and their associated requirements between the government and the contractor, facilitating effective contract management and data acquisition.
