A foreign national or immigrant alien is defined as a person not a United States citizen or a United States national.

The Contracting Officer shall be immediately notified of any litigation, subpoenas, or requests which either seek or may result in the release of U-NNPI information. In the event that a court or administrative order makes immediate review by the Contracting Officer impractical, the contractor agrees to take all necessary steps to notify the court or such administrative body of the Navy's interest in controlling the release of such information through review and concurrence in any release. The Contracting Agency reserves the right to audit contractor facilities for compliance with the above restrictions.
