Classified Contract

Any contract that requires access to classified information, by a contractor or his or her employees. A contract may be a classified contract even though the contract document is not classified. The requirements for a classified contract also are applicable to all phases of pre-contract activity, including solicitations (bids, quotations, and proposals), pre-contract negotiations, post-contract activity, or other Government Contracting Agency (GCA) programs or projects which require access to classified information by a contractor.
