Section 2 - Contract Clauses

Clause LOCAL-1 Security Requirements Suitability and Security Processing was added or modified.

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-

Document Number: 273FCC20R0002 Page 3 of 5 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 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

Document Number: 273FCC20R0002 Page 4 of 5 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.

(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.
