PROHIBITED
CONTRACTUAL
RELATIONSHIPS
BBNC shall not knowingly engage in
any unlicensed transaction with any
individual or entity located in a country
subject to U.S. embargo sanctions
(i.e., the Crimea Region of Ukraine,
Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria),
or identified on the Office of Foreign
Assets Control’s (OFAC) “Specially
Designated Nationals and Blocked
Persons” list.
BBNC may not knowingly employ
an individual who has been
convicted of an offense related to
government contracting.
BBNC will not knowingly contract with
an individual or entity identified on
the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s
(OFAC) “Specifically Designated” list of
nationals or persons who are subject
to trade restrictions.
BBNC will immediately sever all
business connection with any former
employee and/or consultant of BBNC
whose conduct violates applicable
laws, regulations, or basic tenets
of business integrity and honesty.
Appropriate notices specifically
identifying such individuals will be
provided to employees or posted on
BBNC bulletin boards.
INDUSTRIAL SECURITY & CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
Some BBNC employees work on
a day-to-day basis with information
that has a government security
classification. Access to this
information is restricted to those
employees who have the appropriate
security clearance and are shared on a
need-to-know basis.
Allowing improper access to, or
unauthorized disclosure of, classified
information, whether intentional or
through carelessness, is punishable
under federal criminal laws. This can
be damaging to the individual, to
BBNC, and to our nation’s security.
Classified information should not
be reported via the Ethics Hotline
and Website. If you need to report a
concern about a violation of law or of
this Code and you feel that reporting
such a concern may require disclosure
of classified information, report your
concern via your established chain of
command. If you are uncomfortable
doing so, or if after doing so, you still
feel that further action is necessary,
then you should report to the
Ethics Hotline or Website that you
have a concern involving classified
information. Do NOT disclose the
classified information until a proper
investigation is conducted.
Your Responsibilities
Never share classified information
with anyone (including a co-worker)
who does not have both the
required security clearance
and need-to-know status.
After accessing classified
information, ensure that such
material is locked in an approved
storage place. Do NOT take
classified documents home.
Report unauthorized release, loss, or
destruction of classified material to
the BBNC Compliance Department.
Government rules and regulations
governing the processing, storing
and transmission of Controlled
Unclassified Information (CUI)
and Unclassified Controlled
Technical Information (UCTI)
are constantly changing. If you
have a question, contact your
IT department or the BBNC
Compliance Department.
