FAR 52.237‐7 Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance (Jan 1997)
(a) It is expressly agreed and understood that this is a non‐personal services contract, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 37.101, under which the professional services rendered by the Contractor are rendered in its capacity as an independent contractor. The Government may evaluate the quality of professional and administrative services provided, but retains no control over professional aspects of the services rendered, including by example, the Contractor’s professional medical judgment, diagnosis, or specific medical treatments. The Contractor shall be solely liable for and expressly agrees to indemnify the Government with respect to any liability producing acts or omissions by it or by its employees or agents. The Contractor shall maintain during the term of this contract liability insurance issued by a responsible insurance carrier of not less than the following amount(s) per specialty per occurrence: *$1,000,000 per occurrence/$3,000,000 aggregate.

52.24‐403‐70 Notice of Contractor Personnel Security Requirements (Oct 2005)
Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive‐12 (HSPD‐12) and Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) 1 entitled "Personal Identification Verification (PIV) for Federal Employees and Contractors," Phase I
1. Long‐Term Contractor Personnel:
In order to be compliant with HSPD‐12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long‐term 2 contractor employee whose background investigation (BI) process begins on or after October 27, 2005:
a. Contractor Personnel must present two forms of identification in original form prior to badge issuance
(acceptable documents are listed in Form I‐9, OMB No. 1615‐0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government‐issued picture ID);
b. Contractor Personnel must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official who is responsible for checking the identification documents. This identity proofing must be completed sometime during the clearance process but prior to badge issuance and must be documented by the DOJ official;
c. Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position. Outlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level:
• High Risk ‐ Background Investigation (5 year scope)
• Moderate Risk ‐ Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum Background Investigation (MBI)
• Low Risk ‐ National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation
d. The pre‐appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a:
1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
2) Favorable fingerprint results;
3) Favorable credit report, if required; 3
4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level; and
5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) 4 portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk level.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements.
If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Security Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results).
e. Badge re‐validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated.
If the BI results so justify, badges issued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.
2. Short‐Term Contractor Personnel:
It is the policy of the DOJ that short‐term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a. and 1b. above. The pre‐appointment waiver requirements for short‐term contractors are:
a. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
b. Favorable fingerprint results;
c. Favorable credit report, if required; 5 and
d. Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commensurate BI does not need to be initiated.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of issuance. This process can only be used once for a short‐term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecutive short‐term appointments are subject to the full PIV‐I identity proofing process.
For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four‐week period, this contractor would be cleared according to the above short‐term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve‐month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four‐week period, this contractor would now be considered "long‐term" and must be cleared according to the long‐term requirements as stated in this interim policy.
3. Intermittent Contractors:
An exception to the above‐mentioned short‐term requirements would be intermittent contractors.
a. For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For example, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one‐year contract.
b. Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy.
Please reference the August 11, 2004, and January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted access.
c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contractor, the same pre‐employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short‐term contractors are required.
d. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space.
e. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re‐approved each year.
4. An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re‐adjudicated provided the individual has a current (within the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD‐12 and DOJ's BI requirements.
5. The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice.
Notes:
1. FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS‐201‐022505.pdf
2. Under HSPD‐12, long‐term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV‐I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background investigation, is required for all new long‐term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second phase of HSPD‐12 implementation (PIV‐II) requires badge issuance to all affected long‐term contractors.
3. For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre‐appointment waiver package.
4. In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations to OPM. Per OPM ' s instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code " 3" must be placed in block " B " of the " Agency Use Only " section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types.
5.For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre‐appointment waiver package.

BOP 52.218‐000, Continuing Contract Performance During a Pandemic Influenza or Other National Emergency (May 2008)
During a Pandemic or other emergency we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absenteeism as our federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in Government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make a reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce. Contractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission critical services, during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.
The types of actions a federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:
Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.
Cross‐train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services. This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.
Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support successful remote work in an emergency.
Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and responsibilities in relation to remote work in the event of a pandemic health crisis or other emergency.
Establish communication processes to notify employees of activation of this plan.
Integrate pandemic health crisis response expectations into telework agreements.
With the employee, assess requirements for working at home (supplies and equipment needed for an extended telework period). Security concerns should be considered in making equipment choices; agencies or contractors may wish to avoid use of employees' personal computers and provide them with PCs or laptops as appropriate.
Determine how all employees who may telework will communicate with one another and with management to accomplish work.
Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.
Make it clear that in emergency situations, employees must perform all duties assigned by management, even if they are outside usual or customary duties.
Identify how time and attendance will be maintained.
It is the contractor's responsibility to advise the Government Contracting Officer if they anticipate not being able to perform and to work with the Department to fill gaps as necessary.
This means direct communication with the Contracting Officer or in his/her absence, another responsible person in the contracting office via telephone or email messages acknowledging the contractor's notification. The incumbent contractor is responsible for assisting the Department in estimating the adverse impacts of nonperformance and to work diligently with the Department to develop a strategy for maintaining the continuity of operations. The Department does reserve the right in such emergency situations to use Federal employees, employees of other agencies, contract support from other existing contractors, or to enter into new contracts for critical support services. Any new contracting efforts would be acquired following the guidance in the Office of federal Procurement Policy issuance "Emergency Acquisitions", May, 2007 and Subpart 18.2. Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

2852.223‐70 Unsafe Conditions Due to the Presence of Hazardous Material (June 1996)
(a) "Unsafe condition" as used in this clause means the actual or potential exposure of contractor or Government employees to a hazardous material as defined in Federal Standard No. 313, and any revisions thereto during the term of this contract, or any other material or working condition designated by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) as potentially hazardous and requiring safety controls.
(b) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for issuing and administering regulations that require contractors to apprise its employees of all hazards to which they may be exposed in the course of their employment; proper conditions and…
