We have a contract for an Army system that is under development, and the Navy currently has their version of the system (hardware) with developed programs of instruction (POI) and the classified data about the system. The Army wants the contractor to observe the system with the Navy and develop a POI for the Army now, so that by the time the Army has the system physically they have a working POI. How do you arrange for the contractor to be able to observe classified data on a Navy base and transfer it to an Army base? Who should be the points of contact? Field Security Officers (FSO)? Base commanders? To satisfy the government standards of care, it seems the contractors either must have their own SCIFs at both Navy and Army locations, or must be able to use the SCIF of the Navy and Army; if the second option is the only available option, how do you coordinate between different DoD departments AND put that coordination in a government contract so the contractor has guaranteed access to the proper security infrastructure and data?
