9. SECURITY LANGUAGE FOR ALL CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS
By accepting this contract/agreement, the Contractor/Cooperator and other external organizations (hereafter called Contractor) providing Information Technology (IT) services to the US Forest Service (FS) agrees to comply with the applicable IT security policy as outlined in this document. The Contractor and other external organizations will be responsible for IT security for all systems connected to the FS network or operated by the Contractor and other external organizations for the FS, regardless of location. This clause is applicable to all or any part of the contract that includes IT resources or services in which the Contractor and other external organizations must have physical or electronic access to FS sensitive information that directly support the mission of the FS. The term “information technology,” as used in this clause, means any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment, that is used in the automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information. This includes both major applications and general support systems as defined by OMB Circular A-130.
The Contractor shall be responsible for properly protecting all information used, gathered, or developed as a result of work under this task. The Contractor shall also protect all unclassified Government data, equipment, etc., by treating information as sensitive business, confidential information, controlling and limiting access to the information, and ensuring the data and equipment are secured within their facility.
The Contractor or other external organization will not publish or disclose in any manner, without the FS Contracting Officer’s written consent, the details of any programs, documentation, data, or safeguards either designed or developed by the Contractor or other external organization under this Contract or otherwise provided by the Government. Contractor may be required to sign non-disclosure or other appropriate security agreements. A written agreement between the FS and any contractors and other external organizations will be entered into before FS data and information otherwise exempt from public disclosure may be disclosed to the contractors and other external organizations. The contractor and other external organizations will agree to establish and follow security precautions considered by the FS to be necessary to ensure proper handling of data and information. As may be identified elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor agrees that:
• The draft and final deliverables and all associated working papers and other materials deemed relevant by the COTR that have been generated by the Contractor in the performance of this contract are the property of the U.S. Government and must be submitted to the COTR at the conclusion of the tasks.
• All documents produced for this project are the property of the U.S. Government and cannot be reproduced or retained by the Contractor.
To the extent required to carry out a program of inspection to safeguard against threats and hazards to the security, integrity, and confidentiality of Government data, the Contractor will afford the Government access to the Contractor’s or other external organization’s facilities, installations, technical capabilities, operations, documentation, records, and databases. The Contractor will cooperate with Federal agencies and their officially credentialed representatives during official inspections or investigations concerning the protection of FS information.
Cooperation may include providing relevant documentation showing proof of compliance with federal and agency requirements, and rendering other assistance as deemed necessary.
If new or unanticipated threats or hazards are discovered by either the Government or the Contractor or other external organization, or if existing safeguards have ceased to function, the discoverer will immediately bring the situation to the attention of the other party. The Contractor will report real or suspected incidents or violations to the FS Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT), by e-mail, at CIRT@fs.fed.us.
The Contractor shall insert these clauses in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is required to have routine physical access to a Federally controlled facility and/or routine access to a Federally controlled information system. Failure to comply with said requirements will constitute cause for termination.
The Contractor Agrees To –
(a) Comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 (the Act) and the agency rules and regulations issued under the Act in the design, development, or operation of any system of records on individuals to accomplish an agency function when the contract specifically identifies—

(ii) The design, development, or operation work that the contractor is to perform;
(b) Include the Act notification contained in this contract in every solicitation and resulting subcontract and in every subcontract awarded without a solicitation, when the work statement in the proposed subcontract requires the redesign, development, or operation of a system of records on individuals that is subject to the Act; and
(c) Include this clause, including this paragraph (3), in all subcontracts awarded under this contract that requires the design, development, or operation of such a system of records.
In the event of violations of the Act, a civil action may be brought against the agency involved when the violation concerns the design, development, or operation of a system of records on individuals to accomplish an agency function, and criminal penalties may be imposed upon the officers or employees of the agency when the violation concerns the operation of a system of records on individuals to accomplish an agency function. For purposes of the Act, when the contract is for the operation of a system of records on individuals to accomplish an agency function, the Contractor is considered to be an employee of the agency.
Definitions of the clause:
(a) “Operation of a system of records,” as used in this clause, means performance of any of the activities associated with maintaining the system of records, including the collection, use, and dissemination of records.
(b) “Record,” as used in this clause, means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including, but not limited to, education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history and that contains the person’s name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a fingerprint or voiceprint or a photograph.
(c) “System of records on individuals,” as used in this clause, means a group of any records under the control of any agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual.
The contractors and other external organizations will ensure that the following banner is displayed on all FS systems that contain Privacy Act information operated by the contractors and other external organizations prior to allowing anyone access to the system:
“This system contains information protected under the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579). Any privacy information displayed on the screen or printed must be protected from unauthorized disclosure. Employees who violate privacy safeguards may be subject to disciplinary actions, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.”

(a) This [SOW, PWS, or TO name] is subject to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d) as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220).
Specifically, subsection 508(a)(1) requires that when the Federal Government procures Information and Communications Technology (ICT)1, the ICT must allow Federal employees and members of the public with disabilities comparable access to and use of information and data provided to Federal employees and members of the public without disabilities.
(b) The ICT accessibility standards as 36 CFR Part 1194 were developed by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (also known as the Access Board) and apply to contracts, task orders, and indefinite quantity contracts on or after June 25, 2001.
(c) Each Information and Communications Technology (ICT) product or service furnished under this contract shall comply with the Information and Communications Technology Accessibility Standards (36 CFR 1194), as specified in the contract, at a minimum. If the Contracting Officer determines any furnished product or service is not in compliance with the contract, the Contracting Officer will promptly inform the Contractor in writing. The Contractor shall, without charge to the Government, repair or replace the non-compliant products or services within a period of time specified by the Government in writing. If such repair or replacement is not completed within the time specified, the Government shall have the following recourses:
1) Cancellation of the contract, delivery, or task order, purchase or line item without termination liabilities; or
2) In the case of custom Information and Communications Technology (ICT) being developed by a contractor for the Government, the Government shall have the right to have any necessary changes made or repairs performed by itself or by another firm for the non-compliant ICT, with the contractor liable for reimbursement to the Government for any expenses incurred thereby.
1 Please note that the term Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is synonymous with Electronic and Information Technology (EIT), the previously used term.
The term ICT will be used to meet international standards after the release of the Section 508 Refresh.
(d) The contractor must ensure that all ICT products and services that are less than fully compliant with the accessibility standards are provided pursuant to extensive market research and are the most current compliant products or services available to satisfy the contract requirements.
(e) For every ICT product or service accepted under this contract by the Government that does not comply with 36 CFR 1194, the contractor shall, at the discretion of the Government, make every effort to replace or upgrade it with a compliant equivalent product or service, if commercially available and cost neutral, on either a contract specified refresh cycle for the product or service, or on a contract effective option/renewal date, whichever shall occur first.
