LOCAL-1 Security Requirements Suitability and Security Processing

1. General.

a. All Contractor personnel (sometimes rendered “contract personnel”) are subjected to background investigations for the purpose of suitability determinations. Based on their proposed duties, some Contractor personnel may also be required to have security clearance determinations. No Contractor personnel may be assigned to work on an FCC contract without a Favorable Preliminary Adjudication determination by the FCC Security Operations Center (SOC). This includes a review of the OF 306, Declaration for Federal Employ-ment (http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fihl/of0306.pdf), or a written waiver from the SOC.

b. Suitability, waiver, and security clearance determination investigations are currently conducted through the SOC (202) 418-7884.

If required, the individual contract employee will be provided with a review process before a final adverse determination is made. The FCC requires that any Contractor personnel found not suitable, or who has a waiver cancelled, or is denied a security clearance, shall be removed by the Contractor during the same business day that the determination is made.

c. If the Contractor personnel is re-assigned and the new position is determined to require a higher level of risk suitability than the Contractor personnel currently holds, the individual may be assigned to such position on a temporary and conditional basis while the determination is reached by the SOC. A new FCC Form A-600, “FCC Contractor Record Form” shall be completed for the new posi-tion.

d. Contractor personnel working as temporary hires (for ninety (90) days or less), must complete and receive a Favorable Preliminary Adjudication determination by the SOC. This includes a review of the OF 306 and completion of the Contractor personnel section of the FCC Form A-600. If, during the term of employment, the Contractor personnel will have access to any FCC Network application, the personnel must complete the mandatory FCC Initial Security Awareness Training (provided by the FCC Information Technology Center) and complete and sign the FCC Form A-200, “FCC Computer System Application Access Form,” and FCC Form A-201, “Computer System User Rules of Behavior.”

2. At Time of Contract Award.

a. The FCC Security Operations Center (SOC) must receive the completed and signed OF 306 for all proposed Contractor employees at the time of contract award. NOTE: The OF 306 must be signed/dated no earlier than 30 days from the contract award date. Re-sumes for all personnel proposed for assignment on the contract should be provided to the SOC prior to the time of the on-boarding process. The SOC requires a minimum of five (5) working days (from the date the forms are received) to process the OF 306 before any employee is allowed to begin work on the contract. A written waiver from the SOC may be obtained in special/extenuating cir-cumstances. All Contractor personnel, regardless of task description, must complete this form. Without an approved, completed OF 306 on file at the SOC, no contractor employee may begin work. An approved OF 306 is one that has resulted in a Favorable Prelim-inary Adjudication determination by the SOC. During the course of the SOC Preliminary Adjudication determination, the Contractor personnel may be interviewed by SOC staff regarding information on their OF 306 and shall cooperate on answering any questions asked or furnishing any written documents requested.

b. Additional Requirements for Non-U.S. Citizens. In addition to the OF 306 and A-600; the Contractor must provide the following information on all proposed contractor employees who are not U.S. Citizens, at the time of Contract Award;

(1) Copy of Proof of Legal Status in the U.S.; i.e., foreign passport w/visa, alien registration (Green Card), Permanent Resident Alien Identification Card, or other immigration document. NOTE: Document language must indicate the individual can work in the U.S.

(2) Sponsorship Letter from the Contracting Company identifying the individual as a Non-U.S. Citizen working for the Contracting Company.

(3) Copy of resume’ or other proof that the individual has been in the U.S. at least three (3) years (consecutively), prior to applying for the current FCC Contract position.

(4) A completed SF 85, Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions. NOTE: At On-Boarding, Risk Designation determination may re-quire completion of SF 85P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions, or completion of SF 86, Questionnaire for National Security Po-sitions (e-QIP).

c. In addition, the Contractor is responsible for submission of completed, signed computer security forms for each employee prior to that person beginning work on the contract (in accordance with FCC Instruction 1479.4, FCC Cyber Security Program and its associ-ated Information Technology Center (ITC) Cyber Security Policy. These forms should be submitted to the FCC Cyber Security Pro-gram Office after the Contractor completes the mandatory FCC Initial Security Awareness Training.

d. The COR shall begin processing their section of the FCC Contract Personnel Record (FCC Form A-600) at this time. This form, with the COR and CO portions completed, will be distributed at the time of contract award and must be submitted to the SOC within ten (10) working days.

e. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will issue a Certification of Investigation (CIN) following the appropriate background

Document Number: 273FCC19Q0040 Page 5 of 37 investigation. The SOC will notify the COR and CO, and the contractor personnel of the Final Adjudication determination, and provide instructions depending on whether the Final Adjudication is favorable or unfavorable.

3. Identity Proofing, Registration and Checkout Requirements.

a. Locator and Information Services Tracking (LIST) Registration.

(1) The FCC Security Operations Center (SOC) maintains a Locator and Information Services Tracking (LIST) database, containing contact information for all Commission and Contractor employees, regardless of work location. The Contractor employee’s FCC Form A-600, “FCC Contractor Record Form” captures the information for data entry into the LIST system.

b. On-Boarding Process.

(1) Following the processing of the OF 306 and a Preliminary Favorable Suitability Adjudication determination (unless waived), the Contractor personnel shall report to the SOC for identity verification and access badge issuance on their first scheduled workday.

(2) All new Contractor personnel must be escorted to the SOC by either the COR or CO responsible for the contract. At this time, the Contractor personnel must present two (2) forms of identification; one of which must be a picture ID issued by a State or the Federal government. The other piece of identification should be the original of one of the following;

U.S. Passport (unexpired) Certificate of U.S. Citizenship (Form N-560 or N-561) Certificate of Naturalization (Form N-S 50 or N-S 70) School ID Voter Registration Card U.S. Military Identification Card U.S. Military Family Member Identification Card U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Card Native American Tribal Association documents U.S. Social Security Identification Card Certificate of Birth Abroad, (Form FS-545 or Form DS-1350) Original or certified copy of a birth certificate, bearing an Official Seal

(3) After identity verification, the individual shall complete the Fingerprint Card form, PD 258, the Fair Credit Report Act Form, and be photographed and issued the appropriate access badge.

(4) At this time the Contract employee will be given one of the following forms, based on the security risk designation for the pro-posed support position/classification, to complete and return to the SOC within seven (7) business days;

(5) Low Risk Positions – SF 85, Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions.

(6) Moderate Risk Positions – SF 85-P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions.

(7) High Risk Position/Secret or Top Secret Security Clearances – Standard Form (SF) 86, Questionnaire for Sensitive Positions (FCC utilizes the automated e-QIP Program).

(8) For any Contractor employee whose name is provided to the Commission for security investigation at the Moderate- or High-Risk level, who subsequently leaves the subject contract due to Contractor or Contractor employee decision within the first year, the Con-tractor shall reimburse the Commission for the cost of the investigation. If the contract or task order is scheduled for completion in under one year and the Contractor employee for whom a security investigation has been done leaves prior to the work being com-pleted, the Contractor and the SOC shall agree on a pro-rated amount for reimbursement. The cost may range from approximately $400.00 (Moderate Risk) to $3,200.00 (High Risk). The Contractor will be provided a copy of the investigation invoice with the reim-bursement request.

c. Monthly Contractor Personnel Reports.

(1) The monthly report verifying Contractor personnel working at the FCC is a crucial element in the agency’s compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12. The format for the Monthly Contractor Report will be provided to the COR and CO. The Monthly Report is due to the SOC no later than the 3rd working day of the month following the reporting month. Ac-curate and timely reporting are required as part of the ongoing FCC access control efforts as mandated by HSPD-12 and Implementing Directives.

(2) The Contractor’s Program/Project Manager shall submit a Contractor personnel list to the SOC on the third working day of each month. This report shall be identified by the contract name and FCC Contract number, and shall list all the Contractor employees working at the FCC in the immediately previous month.

Document Number: 273FCC19Q0040 Page 6 of 37

(3) The Report shall highlight or list in some way those individuals who are no longer employed by the Contractor or who are no longer working on the subject contract, as well as any additional Contractor personnel who have been successfully processed for work on the contract by the SOC since the previous report.

(4) The report shall be delivered electronically in MS Excel Format (as per example provided) as an Attachment to an E-Mail. The E- Mail should contain a statement of certification of accuracy and may originate with the Contract Program/Project Manager, but must be verified by the FCC COR for the Contract.

(5) No later than the 15th of each month, the SOC will notify the Contract Program/Project Manager, and the COR, to verify the Re-port was received on time, and whether there were any errors on the Report. Failure to submit the Report accurately, and on time, will result in notification made to the FCC Contracting Officer, recommending negative contract evaluation against the Contractor.

d. Departure/Checkout Processing.

(1) The Contract COR is the FCC POC for the departure/checkout process. The COR is required to send an e-mail to “Sign-Out” when a Contractor employee departs the FCC.

(2) This process verifies the access badge has been returned to the SOC by the Contractor personnel.

(3) If the checkout processing is not completed by the Contractor employee, the Contractor shall take action to ensure this action is completed no later than 30 calendar days after the employee’s departure from the FCC.

(4) Failure by the Contractor to properly out-process their personnel will result in notification made to the FCC Contracting Officer, recommending negative contract evaluation against the Contractor.

(5) The Contractor shall be liable for any damages arising from a failure to ensure that the checkout processing occurs within the thirty

(30) calendar days of the Contractor employee’s departure from the FCC.

e. Cyber Security.

(1) The Contactor shall ensure that:

(a) All Contractor employees assigned to this contract, that are required by their duties to be issued an FCC Computer Network Ac-count, obtain, read, understand, and acknowledge compliance with the Policy and Procedures of FCC Instruction 1479.4, Cyber Secur-ity Program and its associated Information Technology Center (ITC) Cyber Security Policy. These documents outline required safe-guards for the protection of agency-sensitive and mission-critical data. All Contractor employees must complete ITC-provided FCC Initial Security Awareness Training prior to being granted access to FCC networks and applications.

(b) All Contractor employees complete and submit to the FCC OMD-ITC, all forms required to gain access to, or modify, server com-puter systems access. Forms include FCC Computer System Office Application and/or System Access Form, FCC Form A-200 (used to identify the user requesting access to FCC computer resources), FCC Computer System Access Acknowledgement and Form A-201 (used to verify user’s obligations to secure the Commission’s computer system and data).

(c) All Contractor access to FCC computer systems is requested in accordance with policy and procedures and limited to “as needed” to perform official requirements under the Contract.

(d) All Contractor personnel protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of FCC information systems and data accessed to perform official requirements under the Contract and that all Contractor personnel ensure that computer systems, related hardware, software, and authorizations are not modified without the expressed written consent of the FCC.

(b) Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement. The Contractor shall save and hold harmless and indemnify the Government against any and all liability and claims and costs of whatever kind and nature for injury to or death of any persons and for loss of or damage to any property occurring in connection with or in any way incidental to or arising out of the occupancy, use, service opera-tion, or performance of work under the terms of this contract resulting in whole or in part from the negligent acts or omissions of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, or any employee, agent, or representative of the Contractor or Subcontractor.

LOCAL-16 Access to Nonpublic Information and its Release (JUL 2019)

(a) Definition. Nonpublic information, as used in this clause, means any Government or third-party information, whether included, re-vealed, or learned in performance of this contract (including any purchase order or order under a task or delivery order contract or a GSA schedule contract), that—

(1) Has been determined by FCC to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or otherwise protected from disclosure by statute, Executive order, or regulation; or

(2) Has not been disseminated to the general public, and the FCC has not yet determined whether the information can or should be made available to the public.

(b) Restrictions on use and disclosure of nonpublic information. (1) The restrictions provided in this clause are intended to protect both the Government and third-party owners of nonpublic information from unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.

(i) The Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Government, its agents, and employees from every claim or liability, includ-ing attorneys’ fees, court costs, and expenses arising out of, or in any way related to, the misuse or unauthorized modification, repro-duction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of any nonpublic information to which it is given access during performance of this contract.

(ii) Third-party owners of nonpublic information to which the Contractor may have access during performance of this contract are third-party beneficiaries with respect to the terms of this clause who, in addition to any other third-party rights, have a right of direct action against the Contractor to seek damages for injuries arising from any violation of the terms of this clause.

Document Number: 273FCC19Q0040 Page 8 of 37

(2) With regard to any nonpublic information to which the Contractor is given access in performance of this contract, whether the in-formation comes from the Government or from third parties, the Contractor shall—

(i) Utilize the nonpublic information only for the purposes of performing the services specified in this contract, and not for any other purposes;

(ii) Safeguard the nonpublic information from unauthorized use and disclosure;

(iii) Limit access to the nonpublic information to only those persons who need it to perform services under this contract;

(iv) Inform persons who may have access to nonpublic information about their obligations to utilize it only to perform the services specified in this contract and to safeguard it from unauthorized use and disclosure;

(v) Obtain a signed nondisclosure agreement from each person who may have access to the nonpublic information. At a minimum, the nondisclosure agreement shall include language implementing the restrictions on use and disclosure of nonpublic information found in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (iv), and (b)(3) of this clause and substantially the same language as set forth in paragraph (h) below.

(vi) Provide a copy of any such nondisclosure agreement to the Contracting Officer upon request; and

(vii) Report to the Contracting Officer any violations of requirements (i) through (v) of this paragraph as soon as the violation is iden-tified. This report shall include a description of the violation and the proposed actions to be taken by the Contractor in response to the violation, with follow-up reports of corrective actions taken as necessary.

(3) If the Contractor receives information that is marked in a way that indicates the Contractor should not receive this information, the Contractor shall—

(i) Notify the Contracting Officer;

(ii) Use the information only in accordance with the instructions of the Contracting Officer; and

(iii) Comply with any other notification provisions contained in this contract.

(c) Applicability.

(1) The obligations and prohibitions of paragraph (b) do not apply if the Contractor can demonstrate to the Contracting Officer that the information—

(i) Was in the public domain at the time the information was accessed by the Contractor;

(ii) Was published, after having been accessed by the Contractor, or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Contractor;

(iii) Was lawfully in the Contractor’s possession at the time the Contractor accessed it and was not acquired directly or indirectly—

(A) From the Government; or

(B) Under another Government contract;

(iv) Was received by the Contractor from a party, other than the information owner, who has the authority to release the information and did not require the Contractor to hold it in confidence.

(v) Is or becomes available, on an unrestricted basis in a lawful manner, to a third party from the information owner or someone acting under the control of the information owner;

(vi) Is developed by or for the Contractor independently of the information received from the Government or the information owner and such independent development can be shown;

(vii) Becomes available to the Contractor by wholly lawful inspection or analysis of products offered for sale by the information own-er or someone acting under the information owner’s control, or an authorized third-party reseller or distributor; or

(viii) Is provided to a third party by the Contractor with the prior written approval of the information owner.

(2) The Contractor may release nonpublic information to which the Contractor is given access in performance of this contract to a third party pursuant to the lawful order or rules of a United States Court or Federal administrative tribunal or body of compet-ent jurisdiction, provided that the Contractor gives to the information owner the opportunity to oppose such disclosures by providing

Document Number: 273FCC19Q0040 Page 9 of 37 the owner with prior written notice of: any proceeding in which compulsory disclosure of the information is foreseeable; and any spe-cific request or demand for the information during such proceedings. The Contractor shall notify the Government, and the third-party information owner (if applicable), within two (2) business days of the Contractor’s notice of the proceeding and the Contractor’s no-tice of specific request or demand for the information. More prompt notice, calculated to afford the information owner maximum op-portunity to oppose such disclosure, shall be provided when production of information is required in less than two business days.

(d) Other contractual restrictions on information. This clause is subordinate to all other FAR or FCC contract clauses or requirements that specifically address the access, use, handling, or disclosure of information. If any restrictions or authorizations in this clause are inconsistent with a requirement of any other FAR or FCC clause of this contract, the requirement of the other clause shall take preced-ence over the requirement of this clause. This clause is not subordinate to any Contractor terms or conditions that are incorporated in-to this contract.

(e) Remedies available to a third-party information owner. The Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements of this clause may provide grounds for independent legal action or other remedies available to a third-party information owner based on the protec-tions of paragraph (b)(1) of this clause.

(f) Release of Contractor’s information. The Contractor agrees that the Government may, in appropriate circumstances, release to its contractors, their subcontractors, and their individual employees, nonpublic information provided by the Contractor in the perform-ance of this contract, subject to the following protections. To receive access to nonpublic information needed to assist in accomplish-ing agency functions, the contractor that will receive access to the nonpublic information must be operating under a contract that con-tains this clause, which obliges the contractor to respect use limitations as described in paragraph (b)(2) and provides third-party bene-ficiary rights as set forth in paragraph (e).

(b) The Contractor agrees to perform the contract up to the point at which the total amount paid and payable by the Government, in-cluding any amounts payable by the Government in the event of termination for convenience, approximates but does not exceed the total amount funded/obligated pursuant to this clause. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work beyond that point. The Gov-ernment’s legal liability under this contract, inclusive of any amounts payable pursuant to the FCC’s termination for its convenience, is limited to the amount funded/obligated pursuant to this clause. Any costs expended or incurred beyond the Government’s limitation of obligation are solely at the Contractor’s risk.

The Contractor’s notification shall state:

(1) the estimated date when that point will be reached; and

(2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of the contract up to the next scheduled date for obliga-tion of funds, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date.

The provisions of paragraph (b) through (d) of this clause shall apply to the revised total of obligated funds and any agreed substitute date.

(e) Once a contract period (base period or option period) is fully funded, this clause shall become inoperative for the remainder of that contract period. This paragraph shall not preclude operation of the clause in any subsequent option period that is incrementally fun-ded.

(f) Nothing in this clause shall affect the Government’s right to terminate the contract for convenience or cause, or default, pursuant to this contract.

(g) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. § 1342.
