RELEASE OF COLLATERAL INTELLIGENCE TO US CONTRACTORS

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

This instruction implements AFPD 14-3, Control, Protection, and Dissemination of Intelligence Information. It assigns responsibilities for releasing selected intelligence information and related material to eligible US contractors, and outlines the special requirements the contractor must fulfill to safeguard intelligence information. These requirements add to Department of Defense Industrial Security Directives (DoD 5220.22M and DoD 5220.22R).

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This revision aligns the instruction with AFPD 14-3. It contains no substantive changes from the original regulation.

1. Officials Authorized to Approve Release.

1.1. The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence (ACS/I) is the Air Force Senior Official of the Intelligence Community (SOIC). The ACS/I implements and carries out the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) policies and procedures for using, protecting, and disseminating intelligence. The ACS/I is the Air Force final authority for approving the release of intelligence to contractors.

1.2. The Senior Intelligence Officer (SIO) of each major command (MAJCOM) and field operating agency (FOA), and their field command designees, can release intelligence to their command contractors without specific approval from the ACS/I if the intelligence meets the following criteria:

• The intelligence is not marked with restricted control markings (see Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 5230.22).
• The intelligence is not restricted to the executive branch of the US Government.

• Evaluates the contractor's request by examining contract to determine if the specific intelligence is appropriate for the contract. If not, the SIO identifies the intelligence the contractor actually needs to satisfy the contract. The SIO releases only the intelligence the contractor needs for the contract work.
• Deletes from Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Directorate of Operations Reports, unless advance approval has been obtained from CIA to release this information to the contractor, the following: CIA Seal, Phrase "Directorate of Operations," Place acquired, Field Number, Source description, and Field dissemination.
• Documents all intelligence approved for release and released to the contractor, including oral and visual disclosure, until the contract is completed or the material returns to the Air Force (see paragraph 1.5.)
• Makes sure that approved intelligence released to the contractor is transmitted via the command contracting activity. (When you can send the material directly to the contractor, the SIO gives the command contracting activity a complete description of the intelligence released. Identify all intelligence information released to a contractor by noting the following on the intelligence document: "AFPD 14-3 Applies," or by any other method that meets this requirement.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE: Only the ACS/I can release information to contractors from the following documents without identifying it as national intelligence.

• National Intelligence Estimates (NIE).
• Special National Intelligence Estimates (SNIE).
• National Intelligence Analytical Memoranda.
• Interagency Intelligence Memoranda.

2. Preparing Requests. The contractor, or contracting activity prepares requests and submits them to the SIO of the contracting command. Each request must contain the following information and certification:

• Name and address of the contractor. Certification of the contractor's facility clearance and safeguarding capability. Certification is obtained from the DoD industrial security office having jurisdiction over the contractor. (See DoD 5220.22R.)
• Number and expiration date of the contract.
• Certification of "need-to-know," and the name and telephone number of the contract.
• Complete identification of the requested intelligence. Identify issuing agency, security classification, and all restrictive control markings and statements. Include a statement indicating iff the material is locally available to the requesting agency.
• A description of the work for which the contractor needs the intelligence.

3. Referral to Originator. Intelligence that carries either of the following markings requires written permission of the originating agency before release to a contractor:

• DISSEMINATION AND EXTRACTION OF INFORMATION CONTROLLED BY ORIGINA-TOR (ORCON).
• NOT RELEASABLE TO CONTRACTORS/ CONSULTANTS (NOCONTRACT).
• CAUTION-PROPRIETARY INFORMATION INVOLVED (PROPIN).

3.1. If you cannot sanitize the documents, you can request release for intelligence bearing these markings through the MAJCOM SIO to HQ 497TH IG/CCES. Include the recommendation of the MAJCOM SIO with your request.

3.2. The SIO at HQ Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and their authorized field commands, can request release directly from the Director, DIA (DSP-1A) of DIA intelligence bearing ORCON, NOCONTRACT, or PROPIN markings.

3.3. Air Force intercommand requests go directly to the MAJCOM or FOA that produced the intelligence. Submit all other requests to release ORCON, NOCONTRACT, or PROPIN intelligence to HQ 497TH IG/CCES, who will review the request, provide a recommendation, and forward it to the originating agency for a decision.

4. Special Requirements for Intelligence. In addition to DoD Manual 5220.22, Industrial Security Manual for Safeguarding Classified Information, the Director, Central Intelligence, sets up additional requirements and controls for intelligence that you give to contractors, and these requirements must be specifically included on the DD Form 254, DoD Contract Security Classification Specification. See DoD Instruction 5230.22 for details.

5. Returning Intelligence to the Air Force. When the contractor completes the classified contract, or sooner if, the contractor no longer needs the classified release, the contracting officer must check that the contractor returns all intelligence-material unless the originator of the intelligence, or the SIO of the releasing command authorizes in writing that the contractor can keep the material. See DoD 5220.22-R, paragraph 7-106g.
