This clause is in accordance with HSPD12 and its implementing directives.

6.7. Access to DoD IT Systems:

6.7.1. Accessing IT Systems: In accordance with SECNAV M5510.30, contractor employees who require access to DoN or DoD networks are categorized as ITI, ITII, or ITIII. The ITII level, defined in detail in SECNAV M5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act. All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than ITII. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity’s Command Information Assurance Manager. Contractor employees requiring privileged or ITI level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) described below. Due to the privileged system access, a SSBI suitable for High Risk public trusts positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System or Computing Environment they are required to maintain.

6.7.2. Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee’s duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy Command’s Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-N; therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the COR shall sign the SAAR-N as the “supervisor”.

6.7.3. The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date may result in delaying the individual’s start date.

6.7.4. When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

6.8. Interim Access: The Navy Command's Security Manager may authorize interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access shall be denied access to the computer network and this denial shall not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.

6.9. Denial or Termination of Access: The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally controlled information system/network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.

6.10. Contractor’s Security Representative

6.10.1. Security Representative: The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the Contractor’s Security Representative. Within three workdays after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the requiring activity’s Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the Contractor’s Security Representative. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer and Command Security Manager.

6.10.2. Background Approval Process: Investigation Requirements and Security Approval Process for Contractors Assigned to National Security Positions or Performing Sensitive Duties.

6.10.2.1. Navy security policy requires that all positions be given a sensitivity value based on level of risk factors to ensure appropriate protective measures are applied. Navy recognizes contractor employees under this contract as Non-Critical Sensitive [ADP/ITII] when the contract scope of work require physical access to a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoD computer/network, to perform unclassified sensitive duties. This designation is also applied to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information (PHI), provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified by DON as National Security Positions. At a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed NACLC to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a noncritical sensitive or ITII position. The NACLC consists of a standard NAC and a FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check. Each contractor employee filling a noncritical sensitive or ITII position is required to complete:

· SF86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent OPM investigative product)

· Two FD258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission)

· Original Signed Release Statements

6.10.2.2. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date. Background investigations shall be reinitiated as required to ensure investigations remain current (not older than 10 years) throughout the contract performance period. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

6.10.3. In-Processing: Regardless of their duties or IT access requirements ALL contractor employees shall in-process with the Navy Command’s Security Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Employees requiring IT access shall also check-in and checkout with the Navy Command’s Information Assurance Manager. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAARN) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The SAARN shall be forwarded to the Navy Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date.

6.10.4. IT Access: The contractor shall ensure that each contract employee requiring access to IT systems or networks complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. Contractor employees shall accurately complete the required investigative forms prior to submission to the Navy Command Security Manager. The Navy Command’s Security Manager shall review the submitted documentation for completeness prior to submitting it to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Suitability/security issues identified by the Navy may render the contractor employee ineligible for the assignment. An unfavorable determination made by the Navy is final (subject to SF86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual obligation under the contract. The Navy Command’s Security Manager shall forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results shall be forwarded by OPM to the DON Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

6.10.5. If the contractor employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit a Visit Authorization Request (VAR) via the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) or a hard copy VAR directly from the contractor’s Security Representative. Although the contractor shall take JPAS “Owning” role over the contractor employee, the Navy Command shall take JPAS "Servicing" role over the contractor employee during the hiring process and for the duration of assignment under that contract. The contractor shall include the IT Position Category per SECNAV M5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee’s performance under the contract.

6.10.6. Background Investigation Requirements and Security Approval Process for Contractors Assigned to/or Performing Non-sensitive Duties.

6.10.7. Contractor employee whose work is unclassified and non-sensitive (e.g., performing certain duties such as lawn maintenance, vendor services, etc ...) and who require physical access to publicly accessible areas to perform those duties shall meet the following minimum requirements:

* Consult the Command Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager for local policy when ITIII (non-sensitive) access is required for Non-US citizens outside the United States.
