I'm not sure I agree. Usually the Prime has negotiated it as part of their fee package, but there is most certainly fees for applying and granting clearances for third parties. There's even more fees for establishing a proper SSO and certifying as well. We had a default 50k cost barrier for any new TS/SCI candidates we put forth. Sometimes this was reimbursed, but it was most definitely a good faith cost we incurred.
