www.dss.mil - they issue the clearance for the DOD.  However, you have to have 
justification for a clearance which usually requires a Contract # and this MUST be 
issued by your Corporate Security Officer.  For example, you can't come off the street 
and get a clearance.  Your company has to issue the request and justify the request 
(Contract #).  

Another minor detail:  The average costs involved to receive a Secret Clearance is 
around $20,000 and a TS is around $50,000.
