(c) The investigating agency will furnish the relevant SPM the results of each proposed contract employee’s investigation through issuance of a Certificate of Investigation (COI). Upon receipt of the COI and any other pertinent documents from investigating agency, the SPM will determine whether or not each proposed contract employee should be granted employment security approval. This decision process is called “adjudication.” The SPM will notify, if required, the investigating agency of the adjudicative determination of each investigation. If OPM is the investigating agency, this will be accomplished by the SPM completing and submitting to OPM an INV Form 79A, “Report of Agency Adjudicative Action.”

H.1.1.2.5 Identity Proofing and Badging.

(a) During the life of the this contract, the right to unescorted access to Federally-controlled facilities and / or access Federally-controlled information systems shall be made available after the contract employees have (1) met the identity proofing requirements outlined below, and (2) competed all other security requirements stated elsewhere in this contract. During all operations on Government premises, the contract employees shall comply with the rules and regulations governing the conduct of personnel and the operation of the facility. The Government reserves the right to require employees to “sign-out” upon entry and “sign-out” upon departure from the DOJ facility.

(b) All contract employees requiring unescorted access to Federally-controlled facilities and/or access to Federally-controlled information systems (regardless of whether they will be issued a DOJ badge), shall comply with the identity proofing and registration requirements outlined below:

(1) Contract employees must present two forms of identification in original form prior to commencement of work under this contract and badge issuance (acceptable documents are listed in Form 1-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture 10); and,

(2) Contract employees 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 prior to commencement of work under this contract and badge issuance (as applicable), and must be documented by the DOJ official.

(c) All contract employees requiring unescorted access to a DOJ controlled facility shall comply with the badge requirements outlined below:

(1) When any Contractor employees enter a DOJ building for the first time, the contract employees shall allow one hour for security processing and the fabrication of buildings access badges.

(2) Building access badges shall be subject to periodic review by the Contractor's Supervisor and checked against the employee's personal identification. The contract employees shall present themselves for the issuance of renewed badges when required by the Government as scheduled by the COTR or his designee. The Contractor shall notify the COTR when employee badges are lost, and must immediately apply for reissuance of a replacement badge. The Contractor shall pay for reissued building access badges. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to return badges to the COTR or his designee when a contract employee is dismissed, terminated or assigned to duties not within the scope of this contract.

H.1.1.2.6 Replacement Personnel

(a) Security investigations are very costly to the Government. The Contractor shall make every effort to preclude incurrence of costs by the Government for security investigations for replacement of employees, and in so doing, shall assure that otherwise satisfactory and physically able employees assigned hereunder remain in contract performance for at least one (1) year. The Contractor shall take all necessary steps to assure that Contractor personnel who are selected for assignment to this contract are professionally qualified and personally reliable, of reputable background and sound character, and meet all other requirements stipulated herein.

(b) The fact that the Government performs security investigations shall not in any manner relieve the Contractor of its responsibility to assure that all personnel furnished are reliable and of reputable background and sound character.

Should a security investigation conducted by the Government render ineligible a Contractor furnished employee, the Contracting Officer will investigate the cause and determine whether the Contractor has abdicated its responsibilities to make every effort to select reliable employees of reputable background and sound character. Should there be need to

15JA0525Q00000057 Page 22 of 87 replace a contract employee due to nonperformance, the Contracting Officer will determine whether the Contractor has abdicated its responsibilities to make every effort to select trained and experienced employees.

(c) Should the Contracting Officer determine that the Contractor has failed to comply with the terms of Section H.1.1.2.4(a), the Contractor may be held monetarily responsible, at a minimum, for all reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the Government to (a) provide coverage (performance) through assignment of individuals employed by the Government or third parties in those cases where absence of Contractor personnel would cause either a security threat or DOJ program disruption and (b) conduct security investigations in excess of those which would otherwise be required.

(d) Nothing in this Clause shall require the Contractor to bear costs involved in the conduct of security investigations for replacement of an employee who becomes deceased or severely ill for a long period of time.

(e) Acceptance by the Government of consideration to which the Government may be entitled pursuant to paragraph (c) above shall not be construed to establish a course of conduct which will serve to limit the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Government. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor fail to comply with the terms and conditions set forth herein without assuming liability for such failure as may be established pursuant to this Clause.
