A Facility Clearance (FCL) is the government's determination that your company can hold classified information. The paperwork sinks most newcomers. FCL Navigator walks you through it: confirm your sponsor, answer the plain-language SF-328 / FOCI items, list your Key Management Personnel by role, and we generate a prep worksheet that tells you exactly what to put on the official SF-328 and DD-441. Enter only your CAGE and email -- we fill the rest from SAM.gov. This is guidance, not a clearance determination, and we are not the DARPA TurboFCL or DCSA.
The first hard truth: a contractor cannot self-sponsor for an FCL. A government contracting activity or a cleared prime must sponsor your facility against a classified contract or named need. If you have no sponsor yet, that is fixable -- it is where Salian Defense starts.
No CUI here, ever. FCL Navigator fills only the non-sensitive parts of your forms. Your foreign-interest answers, personnel names, and signatures stay in your browser and go on the official forms offline -- we never collect, transmit, or store them.
No. FCL Navigator is a free tool from Salian Defense and is not affiliated with DARPA's TurboFCL program or with DCSA. It helps you prepare your facility clearance package; DCSA alone makes the clearance determination.
No. It collects only non-sensitive business metadata, such as your CAGE code and email. Your foreign-interest answers and personnel names stay in your browser and go on the official forms offline -- the worksheet we email you contains no controlled unclassified information.
No. A government contracting activity or a cleared prime contractor must sponsor your facility against a classified contract or named requirement. DCSA will not open a facility record without a sponsor -- and if you don't have one yet, that is exactly where Salian Defense starts.
It is free. The only thing we ask is your CAGE code and a company email so we can send your prep worksheet. There is no government fee for the FCL itself.
