The specific details (e.g., type of device, type of data gathered, monitoring period) regarding the installation of an Army Cl network device shall be the subject of a separate agreement negotiated between Army Cl and the Contractor. In the alternative, the Contractor may install network sensor capabilities or a network monitoring service, either of which must be reviewed for acceptability by Army Cl. Use of this alternative approach shall also be the subject of a separate agreement negotiated between Army Cl and the Contractor. (c) In all cases, the collection or provision of data and any activities associated with this statement of work shall be in accordance with federal, state, and non-US law. � Incident and Accident: The contractor shall report immediately (within 24 hours) any major accident/incident (including fire) resulting in any one or more of the following:� causing damage of Government property exceeding $10,000; affecting program planning or production schedules; degrading the safety of equipment under contract, such as property damage may be involved; identifying a potential hazard requiring corrective action which are related to this contract.
