The Contractor is encouraged to fill all positions with employees who have recently been the subject of a Federal background investigation.
At the conclusion of the background investigation, the Personnel Security Branch will make a favorable or unfavorable determination and advise the COTR and the Contracting Officer (CO). The CO or the COR is responsible for advising the Contractor of ATF’s determination.
Contractor employees are not authorized to access ATF proprietary information, information technology systems, and/or facilities, until a favorable determination has been made by the Personnel Security Branch in accordance with agency specific qualifications, DOJ policy, Federal suitability, and/or adjudicative guidelines.
All background investigations will be adjudicated applying the suitability standards under 5 CFR, part 731, as well as the following DOJ policy and ATF agency specific qualifications:
