EXHIBIT II

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Contractors’ Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement

I. Non-Public Information
I understand that in order to fulfill my responsibilities as an employee of [Name of CDC contractor], I
will have access to non-public information, including confidential and privileged information contained in
government-owned information technology systems. For purposes of this agreement, confidential
information means government information that is not or will not be generally available to the public.
Privileged information means information which cannot be disclosed without the prior written consent of
the CDC.
I [Name of Employee], agree to use non-public information only in performance of my responsibilities to
the CDC. I agree further that I will not disclose, publish, divulge, release, or make known in any manner
or to any extent, to any individual other than an authorized Government employee, any non-public
information that I may obtain in connection with the performance of my responsibilities to the CDC.
II. Procurement-Sensitive Information
I further agree that unless I have prior written permission from the CDC, I will not disclose, publish,
divulge, release, or make known in any manner or to any extent, to any individual other than an
authorized Government employee, any procurement-sensitive information gained in connection with the
performance of my responsibilities to the CDC. I specifically agree not to disclose any non-public,
procurement-sensitive information to employees of my company or any other organization unless so
authorized in writing by the CDC. For purposes of this agreement, procurement-sensitive information
includes, but is not limited to, all information in Performance Work Statement (PWS), Requests for Quote
(RFQ), and Requests for Proposal (RFP); Responses to RFPs, including questions from potential offerors;
non-public information regarding procurements; all documents, conversations, discussions, data,
correspondence, electronic mail (e-mail), presentations, or any other written or verbal communications
relating to, concerning, or affecting proposed or pending solicitations or awards; procurement data;
contract information plans; strategies; source selection information and documentation; offeror’s
identities; technical and cost data; the identity of government personal involved in the acquisition; the
schedule of key technical and procurement events in the award determination process; and any other
information that may provide an unfair competitive advantage to a contractor or potential contractor if
improperly disclosed to them, or any of their employees.
I understand and agree that my access to any procurement-sensitive information may create a conflict of
interest which will preclude me, my current employer, or a future employer from becoming a competitor
for any resulting government acquisition derived from this information. Therefore, if I participate in any
discussions relating to procurement-sensitive information, assist in developing any procurement-sensitive
information, or otherwise obtain any procurement-sensitive information during the course of performing
my duties at the CDC, I understand and agree that I, my current employer, and any future employer(s)
may be excluded from competing for any resulting acquisitions.

In addition to complying with the non-disclosure requirements and safeguards stated above, I understand
that my authorization to use CDC’s grants management and procurement systems is strictly limited to the
access and functions necessary for the performance of my responsibilities to the CDC and which have
been approved in advance by the CDC. I understand that I am not authorized to enter procurement
requests for any requirements pertaining to contracts or subcontracts held by me or my employer.
IV.

Identification as a Non-Government Employee

I understand that as an employee of a government contractor, I represent an independent organization and
I am not an agent of the Government. Therefore, I agree that unless I have prior written authorization
from the CDC, I will, at the beginning of interactions with CDC employees, employees of other

relates to the contractor’s work with the CDC), identify myself as an employee of a contractor. I further
agree to use the following identification procedures in connection with my work at the CDC:

B. I will identify myself as an employee of a contractor at the beginning of telephone conversations or
conference calls;
C. I will not wear any CDC logo on clothing, except for a CDC issued security badge while carrying out
work for CDC or on CDC premises; the only other exception is when a CDC management official has
granted permission to use the CDC logo.
D. I will program my CDC voice mail message to identify myself as a contractors’ employee.
I understand that federal laws including, 18 U.S.C. 641 and 18 U.S.C. 2071, provide criminal penalties
for, among other things, unlawfully removing, destroying or converting to personal use, or use of another,
