10.2.5 Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS). The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) is a DoD-owned and operated system developed by Defense Manpower Data Center as a force protection program to manage personnel identity and access at DoD installations. DBIDS is a network database system designed to easily verify access authorization of personnel entering military installations by using barcodes and fingerprint biometric identifications.
To improve management and force protection at Navy installations, the Navy is transitioning from using the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) to the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) for Contractors and vendors requiring access to an installation at no cost to them. The transition will begin 17 April 2017 and individuals will have up to 180 days to obtain the permanent card. After August 14, 2017, NCACs cards will no longer be accepted.
In order to obtain base access, an individual needs to acquire DoD sponsorship, have a thorough identity check, be properly vetted, and have a legitimate reason for base access. Identity checks require a passport or a Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license. Vetting occurs when the individual's background and ID are compared against authoritative criminal justice data bases, and the individual has a letter or official document from the sponsoring organization which articulates the reason for access. When the above criteria are satisfactorily met, DBIDs credentials are issued.
NCACS cardholders will have 120 days from April 17, 2017 to obtain a temporary DBIDS paper pass. After the applicant obtains their DBIDS paper pass, they will have an additional 180 days to obtain an actual DBIDS card at no cost. Those requesting new access onto installations will receive the DBIDS card at the same time they are initially approved for access. After August 14, 2017, NCACS cards will no longer be accepted for installation access.

11. CONTRACT SECURITY REQUIREMENT
5252.204-9400 Contractor Unclassified Access to Federally Controlled Facilities, Sensitive Information, Information Technology (IT) Systems or Protected Health Information (July 2013)
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The Deputy Secretary of Defense Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-006 - "DoD Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 12 (HSPD-12)" dated November 26, 2008 (or its subsequent DoD instruction) directs implementation of HSPD-12. This clause is in accordance with HSPD-12 and its implementing directives.
APPLICABILITY
This clause applies to contractor employees requiring physical access to any area of a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoN or DoD computer/network/system to perform certain unclassified sensitive duties. This clause also applies to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified by DON as National Security Position, as advised by the command security manager. It is the responsibility of the responsible security officer of the command/facility where the work is performed to ensure compliance.
Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy Command under this contract is required to obtain a Department of Defense Common Access Card (DoD CAC). Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.
ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES
Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required 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.
ACCESS TO DOD IT SYSTEMS
In accordance with SECNAV M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to DoN or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II levels, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information Assurance Manager. Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I 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.
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".
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.
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.
INTERIM ACCESS
The Navy Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a DOD CAC and 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 will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.
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 orchestrate 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.
CONTRACTOR'S 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.
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS OR PERFORMING SENSITIVE DUTIES 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/IT-II] when the contract scope of work requires 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 non-critical sensitive or IT-II position. The NACLC consists of a standard NAC and an FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check. Each contractor employee filling a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position is required to complete:
| . | SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent OPM investigative product) |
| . | Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission) |
| . | Original Signed Release Statements |
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.
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 check-out with the Navy Command's Information Assurance Manager. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. 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 shall result in delaying the individual's start date.
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 will 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 SF-86 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 will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DON Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.
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 will take JPAS "Owning" role over the contractor employee, the Navy Command will 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 M-5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee's performance under the contract.
* The NACI, NACLC and SSBI have been incorporated into Tiered investigations. The command Security Manager will identify the appropriate Tiered Investigation.
SECURITY SCREENING PROCESS
Security screening is conducted to determine if the contractor already meets the T3 requirements or needs to be processed for a T3 investigation.
For contractors with a valid T3 investigation reflected in JPAS, the security screening process is the review of the JPAS record by the appropriate security office as defined below. The review must ensure that there has not been a break in service that exceeds 24 months and that new derogatory information, if any, has been favorably adjudicated by the DoD Central Adjudication Facility (DoDCAF).
For contractors needing a T3 investigation, the following is required:
- Completion of e-QIP
- Fingerprint Card submission to FBI
- Verification of US Citizenship
Pre-employment Clearance Action: Employees requiring access to classified information, upon reporting to their position, will be read into access by the local command security representative. A local classified material handling indoctrination will take place at that time.
The I-9 form lists acceptable forms of identification that can be provided to prove U.S. citizenship. Dual citizens are required to renounce their secondary citizenship in order to work for the U.S. government. Citizenship can be renounced by turning in the foreign national passport to a government security officer for destruction or to the originating embassy of the passport. Individuals should request a signed affidavit from their embassy recognizing the renouncing of their citizenship.
Acceptable Proof of Citizenship a). For individuals born in the United States, a birth certificate is the primary and preferred means of citizenship verification. Acceptable certificates must show that the birth record was filed shortly after birth, and it must be certified with the registrar's signature. It must bear the raised, impressed, or multicolored seal of the registrar's office. The only exception is if a state or other jurisdiction does not issue such seals as a matter of policy. Uncertified copies of birth certificates are not acceptable. A delayed birth certificate is one created when a record was filed more than one year after the date of birth. Such a certificate is acceptable if it shows that the report of birth was supported by acceptable secondary evidence of birth. Secondary evidence may include baptismal or circumcision certificates, hospital birth records, or affidavits of persons having personal knowledge about the facts of birth. Other documentary evidence can be early census, school, or family bible records, newspaper files, or insurance papers. All documents submitted as evidence of birth in the U.S. shall be original or certified documents.
b). If the individual claims citizenship by naturalization, a certificate of naturalization is acceptable proof of citizenship.
c). A Passport, current or expired, is acceptable proof of citizenship.
d). A Record of Military Processing-Armed Forces of the United States (DD Form 1966) is acceptable proof of citizenship, provided it reflects U.S. citizenship.
e). If Citizenship is from the Island of Puerto Rico; see Puerto Rico Birth Certificates Law 191of 2009, at web site http://www.prfaa.com/birthcertificates/.
f). If citizenship was acquired by birth abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents, the following are acceptable evidence:
(1) A Certificate of Citizenship issued by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or its predecessor organization.
