The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Non-Disclosure Agreement (Form 11000-6) outlines the terms for individuals granted conditional access to sensitive government information. This agreement covers Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII), Sensitive Security Information (SSI), and Other Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) data. Signatories attest to their familiarity with and compliance with applicable laws, regulations (e.g., Critical Infrastructure Information Act of 2002, 6 CFR Part 29, 49 CFR Part 1520), and procedures for safeguarding this information. Key obligations include protecting against unauthorized disclosure, adhering to dissemination restrictions, promptly returning all materials upon demand or duty completion, and reporting security violations. The agreement also specifies that violations may lead to cancellation of access, administrative, disciplinary, civil, or criminal action, and assignment of royalties from unauthorized disclosures to the government or owning entity. This legally binding document emphasizes the government's right to enforce its terms and conduct inspections to ensure compliance, while also clarifying that it does not supersede existing whistleblower protections or other non-disclosure agreements.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has established the Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) to fairly and promptly address procurement concerns and resolve agency protest issues without litigation. This program encourages interested parties to seek resolution within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum before resorting to external forums like the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Parties can pursue informal resolution with the Ombudsman after contacting the Contracting Officer, or file a formal agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman. Formal protests may suspend contract award or performance unless urgent reasons dictate otherwise, with a goal to resolve protests within 35 calendar days. Protesters agree not to file with external forums while a USCG protest is pending, or the agency protest will be dismissed.
