(c) Background information.
(1) For each contractor employee subject to the requirements of this clause and not in possession of a current PIV Card acceptable to HUD, the contractor shall submit the following properly completed forms: Electronic Standard Form (SF) 85, "Questionnaire for Non-sensitive Positions via e-QIP," completed USAccess enrollment (electronic fingerprinting) and Optional Form (OF) 306 (Items 1 thru 17). The SF-85 and OF-306 are available from the OPM website, http://www.opm.gov. The Electronic questionnaire is available on OPM’s e-QIP site https://www.opm.gov/investigations/e-qip-application/. The COR will provide all other forms that are not obtainable via the Internet.
(2) The contractor shall deliver the forms and information required in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause to the COR as secure as possible.
(3) The information provided in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this clause will be used to perform a background investigation to determine the suitability of the contractor employees to have access to Government facilities. After completion of the investigation, the COR will notify the contractor in writing when any contractor employee is determined to be unsuitable for access to a Government facility. The contractor shall immediately remove such employee(s) from work on this contract that requires physical presence in a Government facility.
(4) Affected contractor employees who have had a federal background investigation without a subsequent break in federal employment or federal contract service exceeding 2 years may be exempt from the investigation requirements of this clause subject to verification of the previous investigation. For each such employee, the contractor shall submit the following information in lieu of the forms and information listed in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause: completed PIV & Pre-Security Form.
(d) PIV Cards.
(1) HUD will issue a PIV Card to each contractor employee who is to be given access to HUD facilities and who does not already possess a PIV Card acceptable to HUD (see paragraph (b) of this clause). HUD will not issue the PIV Card until the contractor employee has successfully cleared the FBI National Criminal History Fingerprint Check, HUD has initiated the background investigation for the contractor employee and a Security Approval Notice from HUD PSD via PSDContractorIn-box@hud.gov has been received. Initiation is defined to mean that all background information required in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause has been delivered to HUD. The employee may not be given access prior to those three events. HUD may issue a PIV Card and grant access pending the completion of the background investigation. HUD will revoke the PIV Card and the employee's access if the background investigation process (including adjudication of investigation results) for the employee has not been completed within 6 months after the issuance of the PIV Card.
(2) PIV Cards shall identify individuals as contractor employees. Contractor employees shall display their PIV Cards on their persons at all times while working in a HUD facility, and shall present cards for inspection upon request by HUD officials or HUD security personnel.
(3) The contractor shall be responsible for all PIV Cards issued to the contractor's employees and shall immediately notify the COR if any PIV Card(s) cannot be accounted for. The contractor shall promptly return PIV Cards to HUD as required by the FAR clause at 52.204-9. The contractor shall notify the COR immediately whenever any contractor employee no longer has a need for his/her HUD-issued PIV Card (e.g., employee terminates employment with the contractor, employee's duties no longer require access to HUD facilities). The COR will instruct the contractor as to how to return the PIV Card. Upon expiration of this contract, the COR will instruct the contractor as to how to return all HUD-issued PIV Cards not previously returned. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, the contractor shall not return PIV Cards to any person other than the COR.
(4) The contractor shall submit a report to the Contracting Officer and COR no later than 5 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter that provides the status of each employee who is required to work in a HUD facility during the performance of the contract. At a minimum, the report shall identify the contractor and the contract number, and list for each employee the following information –
(i) Employee name;
(ii) Name of HUD facility where employee works;
(iii) Date background check submitted;
(iv) Date PIV Card issued;
(v) PIV card number
(vi) Date employee no longer has need of HUD PIV Card;
(vii) Date CO and COR were notified;
(viii) Date PIV Card returned to COR.
(e) Control of access. HUD shall have, and exercise, complete control over granting, denying, withholding, and terminating access of contractor employees to HUD facilities. The COR will notify the contractor immediately when HUD has determined that an employee is unsuitable or unfit to be permitted access to a HUD facility. The contractor shall immediately notify such employee that he/she no longer has access to any HUD facility, remove the employee from any such facility that he/she may be in, and provide a suitable replacement in accordance with the requirements of this clause.
(f) Access to HUD information systems. If this contract requires contractor employees to have access to HUD information system(s), application(s), or information contained in such systems, the contractor shall comply with all requirements of HUDAR clause 2452.239-70, Access to HUD Systems, including providing for each affected employee any additional background investigation forms prescribed in that clause.
(g) Subcontracts. The contractor shall incorporate this clause in all subcontracts where the requirements specified in paragraph (b) of this section are applicable to performance of the subcontract.

Upon receipt of the hold, the contractor shall immediately take the following actions:
(1) Discontinue any alteration, overwriting, deletion, or destruction of all tangible materials and ESI;
(2) Preserve tangible materials and ESI. The contractor shall preserve ESI in its “native” form to preserve metadata (i.e., creation and modification history of a document);
(3) Identify all individuals who possess or may possess, tangible materials and ESI related to this matter, including contractor employees, subcontractors, and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall provide the names of all such individuals via email to the HUD official indicated in the notice;

The contractor shall describe in detail any records that the contractor knows or believes to be unavailable and provide a detailed explanation of why they are unavailable, and if known, their location.
(c)(1) If any request for records pursuant to paragraph (b)(6) of this clause causes an increase in the estimated cost or price, or the time required for performance of any part of the work under this contract, or otherwise affects any other terms and conditions of this contract, the contracting officer shall make an equitable adjustment in any one or more of the following and will modify the contract accordingly:
(i) Contract price.

(3) Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from providing the records requested by the contracting officer.
(d) The contractor shall include the terms of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract.
