SECTION H – SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1.0 SPECIAL CONTRACTS REQUIREMENTS FAR CLAUSES

H.2.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

All work under this SOW is unclassified.

Should that clearance dynamic change, the successful offeror and eventual contractor would be required to have or quickly obtain the appropriate, requisite clearances. All contractor and subcontractor employees working on this contract shall be subject to certain sections of the

Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness Response Act of 2002. Any contractor or subcontractor employee who is required to enter the PIADC biocontainment areas or requires access to information relating the PIADC Select Agent Program must register with and be accepted by the Select Agent and Toxin Program through a Security Risk Assessment (SRA) administered and granted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI) Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS). Any contractor or subcontractor employee who is required to have recurring access to Government facilities or access to

Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) information and/or logical access to Information Technology

(IT) resources shall verify minimal fitness requirements for all persons/candidates designated for employment under any DHS contract by prescreening the person/candidate prior to submitting their name for consideration to work on the contract. The successful offeror and eventual contractor shall be required to flow these security requirements down to their subcontractors.

H.2.1 GENERAL

Security Instructions

The procedures outlined below shall be followed for the DHS Security Office to process background investigations and suitability determinations, as required, in a timely and efficient manner.

Carefully read the security clauses in the contract. Compliance with the security clauses in the contract is not optional.

Contract employees (to include applicants, temporaries, part-time and replacement employees) under the contract, requiring access to sensitive information, shall undergo a position sensitivity analysis based on the duties each individual will perform on the contract. The results of the position sensitivity analysis shall identify the appropriate background investigation to be conducted.

DHS shall have and exercise full control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating unescorted government facility and/or sensitive Government information access for Contractor employees, based upon the results of a background investigation. DHS may, as it deems appropriate, authorize and make a favorable entry on duty (EOD) decision based on preliminary security checks. The favorable EOD decision would allow the employees to commence work temporarily prior to the completion of the full investigation. The granting of a favorable EOD decision shall not be considered as assurance that a full employment suitability authorization shall follow as a result thereof. The granting of a favorable EOD decision or a full employment suitability determination shall in no way prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such access by DHS, at any time during the term of the contract. No employee of the

Contractor shall be allowed unescorted access to a Government facility without a favorable EOD decision or suitability determination by the Security Office. Contract employees assigned to the contract not needing access to sensitive DHS information or recurring access to DHS’ facilities shall not be subject to security suitability screening.

Contract employees awaiting an EOD decision may begin work on the contract provided they do not access sensitive Government information. Limited access to Government buildings is allowable prior to the EOD decision if the Contractor is escorted by a Government employee.

This limited access is to allow Contractors to attend briefings, non-recurring meetings and begin transition work.

The DHS Security Office shall be notified of all terminations/resignations within five (5) days of occurrence. The Contractor shall return to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) all

DHS issued identification cards and building passes that have either expired or have been collected from terminated employees. If an identification card or building pass is not available to be returned, a report shall be submitted to the COR, referencing the pass or card number, name of individual to who it was issued and the last known location and disposition of the pass or card.

When sensitive Government information is processed on Department telecommunications and automated information systems, the Contractor shall provide for the administrative control of sensitive data being processed. Contractor personnel must have favorably adjudicated background investigations commensurate with the defined sensitivity level.

Contractors who fail to comply with Department security policy are subject to having their access to Department IT systems and facilities terminated, whether or not the failure results in criminal prosecution. Any person who improperly discloses sensitive information is subject to criminal and civil penalties and sanctions under a variety of laws (e.g., Privacy Act).

Failure to follow these instructions may delay the completion of suitability determinations and background checks. Note that any delays in this process that are not caused by the Government do not relieve a Contractor from performing under the terms of the contract.

Your Point of Contact (POC) at the Security Office is: TBD

All services provided will be in accordance with DHS Management Directive 4300.l as implemented by DHS 4300A and/or 4300B Policies and Handbooks.

4300B, DHS National Security System Handbook.

Access to Unclassified Facilities, Information Technology Resources, and Sensitive
