Which document includes instructions about public disclosure and other security regulations beyond NISPOM?

• A. DD Form 254
• B. SOW
• C. RFP
• D. FCL

Answer: (A)

Security requirements tailored to a contract, including instructions on public disclosure and other safeguards beyond NISPOM, are specified on the contract security specification form known as a DD Form 254. This document communicates to the contractor the specific handling, safeguarding, and disclosure rules for the contract, as well as any agency-specific or contract-specific requirements that go beyond the baseline NISPOM provisions. It sets out what information is classified, who can access it, how it may be disclosed (including restrictions on public release), and any additional security controls or flow-down requirements to subcontractors.

The other options serve different purposes. A statement of work outlines the tasks and deliverables of the contract, not security regulations. A request for proposal is a procurement document seeking bids, not security instructions. A facility clearance indicates the level of clearance for a facility but does not spell out contract-specific disclosure rules or beyond-NISPOM requirements.
