This document is a contract clause from the Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) addressing personal identity verification requirements for contractor personnel.

The clause, designated VAAR 852.204-70 and effective May 2020 with a deviation dated March 2026, mandates that contractors comply with Department of Veterans Affairs policy for personal identity verification of all employees performing work under the contract when physical access to VA facilities and/or logical access to VA information systems is required. The contractor bears responsibility for implementing these verification procedures for its workforce. Additionally, the clause requires that contractors flow down this requirement to all subcontractors whose employees will need physical or logical access to VA facilities and information systems. This is a mandatory contract provision applicable to VA contracts involving contractor or subcontractor personnel requiring facility or system access.
