Federal activity overview — Special Access Program
Security clearance · Special access designation
Special Access Programs (SAPs) impose additional security measures beyond those for standard classified information. SAPs protect the most sensitive military technologies, intelligence methods, and covert operations. Access is strictly controlled and limited to individuals with a specific, validated need to know.
SAP contracts cover the most advanced and sensitive defense technologies including stealth, space, cyber, and next-generation weapons. SAP contracts are highly lucrative but extremely restricted. Only contractors with established SAP facilities and pre-cleared personnel can compete. Many SAP contracts are sole-sourced due to extreme security requirements.
