provides for the collection of

information from contractors regarding

security requirements for computers

used to process classified information;

tariffs pertaining to telecommunications

services; and proposals from common

carriers to perform special construction

under contracts for telecommunications

services. Contracting officers and other

DoD personnel use the information to

ensure that computer systems are

adequate to protect against

unauthorized release of classified

information; to participate in the

establishment of tariffs for

telecommunications services; and, to

establish reasonable prices for special

construction by common carriers. The

clause at DFARS 252.239–7000,

Protection Against Compromising

Emanations, requires that the contractor

provide, upon request of the contracting

officer, documentation supporting the

accreditation of a computer system to

meet the appropriate security

requirements. The clause at DFARS

requires that the contractor provide to

the contracting officer: (1) Upon request,

a copy of the contractor’s existing tariffs;

(2) before filing, a copy of any

application to a Federal, State, or other

regulatory agency for new rates, charges,

services, or regulations relating to any

tariff or any of the facilities or services

to be furnished solely or primarily to the

Government, and, upon request, a copy

of all information, material, and data

developed or prepared in support of or

in connection with such an application;

and, (3) a notification to the contracting

officer of any application submitted by

anyone other than the contractor that

may affect the rate or conditions of

services under the agreement or

contract. DFARS 239.7408 requires the

contracting officer to obtain a detailed

quotation that has special construction

requirements related to the performance

of basic telecommunications services.
