About this file

This document is a visitor access procedure for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) Campus. Individuals requesting access must complete two separate processes: a one-year background check through a third-party system (Redtail Security at https://redtailsecurity.com/corp/NBAF) at no cost to the individual, and a Visitor Request submitted on their behalf by their Contract Officer Representative/Technical Point of Contact (COR/TPOC) as their sponsor. The background check submission must be completed by the visitor personally, while the Visitor Request can be processed within up to 72 hours following submission.

The Visitor Application Information form requires the following data: full legal name as it appears on a driver's license, contract or project designation, previous PIV card status, US citizenship status, country of birth if applicable, lawful permanent resident status, company name, company phone number, and company address. The completed form must be password-protected and encrypted before being emailed to the NBAF sponsor (kraig.buffington@usda.gov), with the password sent separately for security purposes. The document emphasizes strict confidentiality protocols, stating that personally identifiable information should not be sent to any other email address and will be destroyed immediately upon completion of the access request process. The collection of information is authorized under Executive Order 9397, 6 USC 341, 44 USC 3101, and EO 12958, with disclosure of foreign visit information being mandatory under EO 12958.
