1 FAR P ART 24
2 This part prescribes policies and procedures that apply requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) (the Act) and OMB Circular No. A- 130, December 12, 1985, to Government contracts and cites the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552, as amended).5 U.S.C. 552a5 U.S.C. 552  Definitions:  “Individual” means a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.  “Operation of a system of records” means performance of any of the activities associated with maintaining the system of records, including the collection, use, and dissemination of records.  “Record” means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including, but not limited to, education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history, and that contains the individual’s name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a fingerprint or voiceprint or a photograph.  “System of records on individuals” means a group of any records under the control of any agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual. 2
3 General. (a) The Act requires that when an agency contracts for the design, development, or operation of a system of records on individuals on behalf of the agency to accomplish an agency function the agency must apply the requirements of the Act to the contractor and its employees working on the contract. (b) An agency officer or employee may be criminally liable for violations of the Act. When the contract provides for operation of a system of records on individuals, contractors and their employees are considered employees of the agency for purposes of the criminal penalties of the Act. (c) If a contract specifically provides for the design, development, or operation of a system of records on individuals on behalf of an agency to accomplish an agency function, the agency must apply the requirements of the Act to the contractor and its employees working on the contract. The system of records operated under the contract is deemed to be maintained by the agency and is subject to the Act. (d) Agencies, which within the limits of their authorities, fail to require that systems of records on individuals operated on their behalf under contracts be operated in conformance with the Act may be civilly liable to individuals injured as a consequence of any subsequent failure to maintain records in conformance with the Act.  The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, establishes a code of fair information practices that governs the collection, maintenance, use, and dissemination of information about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federal agencies.Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a  The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of a record about an individual from a system of records absent the written consent of the individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions. 3

5 Contract clauses. When the design, development, or operation of a system of records on individuals is required to accomplish an agency function, the contracting officer shall insert the following clauses in solicitations and contracts: (a) The clause at 52.224-1, Privacy Act Notification.52.224-1 (b) The clause at 52.224-2, Privacy Act.52.224-2  (a) The contracting officer shall review requirements to determine whether the contract will involve the design, development, or operation of a system of records on individuals to accomplish an agency function.  (b) If one or more of those tasks will be required, the contracting officer shall—  (1) Ensure that the contract work statement specifically identifies the system of records on individuals and the design, development, or operation work to be performed; and  (2) Make available, in accordance with agency procedures, agency rules and regulation implementing the Act. 5
6 Authority. The Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552, as amended) provides that information is to be made available to the public either by—5 U.S.C. 552 (a) Publication in the Federal Register; (b) Providing an opportunity to read and copy records at convenient locations; or (c) Upon request, providing a copy of a reasonably described record.  What is FOIA?  The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a law that gives you the right to access information from the federal government. It is often described as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government.  http://www.foia.gov/ http://www.foia.gov/ 6
7 Prohibitions. (a) A proposal in the possession or control of the Government, submitted in response to a competitive solicitation, shall not be made available to any person under the Freedom of Information Act. This prohibition does not apply to a proposal, or any part of a proposal, that is set forth or incorporated by reference in a contract between the Government and the contractor that submitted the proposal. (b) No agency shall disclose any information obtained pursuant to 15.403-3(b) that is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. 15.403-3 (c) A dispute resolution communication that is between a neutral person and a party to alternative dispute resolution proceedings, and that may not be disclosed under 5 U.S.C. 574, is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.5 U.S.C. 574  Excerpt from FOIA Update, Vol. XVIII, No. 1 1997  These new …statutes prohibit agencies from releasing under the FOIA any proposal "submitted by a contractor in response to the requirements of a solicitation for a competitive proposal," unless that proposal "is set forth or incorporated by reference in a contract entered into between the agency and the contractor that submitted the proposal." The effect of this prohibition is two-fold.  First, it provides blanket protection for the proposals submitted by unsuccessful offerors in response to a solicitation.  Second, the…statutes provide protection even for proposals submitted by a successful offeror, provided that such a proposal is not actually "set forth or incorporated by reference in" the ensuing contract. For such proposals that are not part of the contract, the statutes' broad prohibition against FOIA disclosure of proposals would apply and the proposal could not be released. Thus, the key determinant of exempt status is whether the particular proposal was actually set forth in or incorporated into the contract.  http://www.justice.gov/oip/foia_updates/Vol_XVIII_1/page2.htm http://www.justice.gov/oip/foia_updates/Vol_XVIII_1/page2.htm 7
8 (a) The Act specifies, among other things, how agencies shall make their records available upon public request, imposes strict time standards for agency responses, and exempts certain records from public disclosure. Each agency’s implementation of these requirements is located in its respective title of the Code of Federal Regulations and referenced in Subpart 24.2 of its implementing acquisition regulations. Subpart 24.2 Who oversees the FOIA?  It is the Executive Branch, led by the President, that is responsible for the administration of the FOIA across the government. The Department of Justice’s Office of Information Policy oversees agency compliance with these directives and encourages all agencies to fully comply with both the letter and the spirit of the FOIA.  http://www.foia.gov/about.html http://www.foia.gov/about.html 8
9 (b) Contracting officers may receive requests for records that may be exempted from mandatory public disclosure. The exemptions most often applicable are those relating to classified information, to trade secrets and confidential commercial or financial information, to interagency or intra-agency memoranda, or to personal and medical information pertaining to an individual. Other exemptions include agency personnel practices, and law enforcement. Continued…  Exemption 1: Information that is classified to protect national security. The material must be properly classified under an Executive Order.  Exemption 2: Information related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of an agency.  Exemption 3: Information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law.  Exemption 4: Information that concerns business trade secrets or other confidential commercial or financial information.  Exemption 5: Information that concerns communications within or between agencies which are protected by legal privileges, that include but are not limited to:  Attorney-Work Product Privilege  Attorney-Client Privilege  Deliberative Process Privilege  Presidential Communications Privilege  Exemption 6: Information that, if disclosed, would invade another individual's personal privacy.  Exemption 7: Information compiled for law enforcement purposes if one of the following harms would occur. Law enforcement information is exempt if it:  7(A). Could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings  7(B). Would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication  7(C). Could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy  7(D). Could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source  7(E). Would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions  7(F). Could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual  Exemption 8: Information that concerns the supervision of financial institutions.  Exemption 9: Geological information on wells. 9
10 (b)Continued: Since these requests often involve complex issues requiring an in-depth knowledge of a large and increasing body of court rulings and policy guidance, contracting officers are cautioned to comply with the implementing regulations of their agency and to obtain necessary guidance from the agency officials having Freedom of Information Act responsibility. If additional assistance is needed, authorized agency officials may contact the Department of Justice, Office of Information and Privacy. A Freedom of Information Act guide and other resources are available at the Department of Justice website under FOIA reference materials: http://www.usdoj.gov/oip.http://www.usdoj.gov/oip FAQ: How is a FOIA request processed?  The agency will typically search for records in response to your request and then review those records to determine which – and what parts of each – can be released. The agency will redact, or black out, any information protected from disclosure by one of the FOIA’s nine exemptions. The releasable records will then be sent to you.  http://www.foia.gov/faq.html#processed http://www.foia.gov/faq.html#processed 10
