Needs and Uses: This requirement provides for the collection of
necessary information from contractors regarding security requirements
applicable to computers used for processing of classified information;
tariffs pertaining to telecommunications services; and proposals from
common carriers to perform special construction under contracts for

special construction by common carriers. The clause at DFARS 252.239-

contractor provide, upon request of the contracting officer,
documentation supporting the accreditation of the computer system to

upon request of the contracting officer, a copy of the contractor's
existing tariffs; before filing, a copy of any application to a

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 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 that a detailed special construction
proposal be obtained from a common carrier that submits a proposal or
