ADDITIONAL NARA TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. KEY PERSONNEL

a. The Vendor agrees to assign to the purchase order those key persons whose resumes were submitted with the Vendor’s quotation as required to fill the requirements of the purchase order. No substitution or addition of personnel will be made except in accordance with this clause or by written permission by the Contracting Officer.

b. The Vendor agrees that during the first 12 months of the purchase order, no personnel substitutions will be permitted, unless such substitutions are necessitated by an individual's sudden illness, death or termination of employment. In any of these events, the Vendor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and provide the information required by paragraph (d) below.

c. If key personnel, for whatever reason, become unavailable for work under this purchase order for a continuous period exceeding thirty (30) working days, or are expected to devote substantially less effort to the work than indicated in its quotation, the Vendor shall propose a substitution of such personnel, in accordance with paragraph (d) below.

(a) Applicability

This clause applies to all controlled unclassified information, which may include personally identifiable information, as defined in Section B, regardless of the medium in which it is found and includes paper records.

(b) Definitions. As used in this clause:

“Breach” means the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar situation where persons other than authorized users, and for other than authorized purpose, have access or potential access to personally identifiable information, in usable form whether physical or electronic.

“Controlled Unclassified Information” means information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls. However, CUI does not include classified information or information a non-executive branch entity possesses and maintains in its own systems that did not come from, or was not created or possessed by or for, an executive branch agency or an entity acting for an agency. Law, regulation, or Government-wide policy may require or permit safeguarding or dissemination controls in three ways: Requiring or permitting agencies to control or protect the information but providing no specific controls, which makes the information CUI Basic; requiring or permitting agencies to control or protect the information and providing specific controls for doing so, which makes the information CUI Specified; or requiring or permitting agencies to control the information and specifying only some of those controls, which makes the information CUI Specified, but with CUI Basic controls where the authority does not specify.

“Personally identifiable information (PII)” means any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any other information that is linked or linkable to that individual regardless of whether the individual is a citizen of the United States, legal permanent resident, or a visitor to the United States. Examples of PII include the following:

(1) Name.

(2) Date of birth.

(3) Mailing address.

(4) Telephone number.

(5) Social Security Number.

(6) Email address.

(7) Zip code.

(8) Account numbers.

(9) Certificate/license numbers.

(10) Vehicle identifiers including license plates.

(11) Uniform resource locators (URLs).

(12) Internet protocol addresses.

(13) Biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprints).

(14) Photographic facial images.

(15) Any other unique identifying number or characteristic.

(16) Any information where it is reasonably foreseeable that the information will be linked with other information to identify the individual.

“Sensitive personally identifiable information (sensitive PII)” means a subset of PII, which if lost, compromised or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual.

(1) Complete social security numbers, alien registration numbers (A-number) and biometric identifiers (such as fingerprint, voiceprint, or iris scan) are considered sensitive PII even if they are not coupled with additional PII.

(2) Additional examples include any grouping of information that contains an individual’s name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements:

(i) Driver’s license number, passport number, or truncated social security number (such as last 4 digits);

(ii) Date of birth (month, day, and year);

(iii) Citizenship or immigration status;

(iv) Financial information such as account numbers or electronic funds transfer information;

(v) Medical information; and/or

(vi) System authentication information such as mother’s maiden name, account passwords or personal identification numbers.

(3) Other PII may be “sensitive” depending on its context, such as a list of employees with less than satisfactory performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast, a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains PII but it is not sensitive.

(c) Data Security.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) implemented health and safety measures to protect our workforce and to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The most effective ways to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace are the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), social distancing, good personal hygiene, and other related precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). NARA’s health and safety protocols, health screening procedures, and health screening inventory are outlined below and must be provided to every contractor working at a NARA facility.

Note: Please provide all contractor employees working under this contract a copy of the Health Screening Procedures and Health Screening Inventory.

I. HEALTH SCREENING

All contractors who are scheduled to work at a NARA facility must assess their own health before reporting to work. NARA will not check temperatures or ask your employees questions about their health. However, NARA may deny them access to the facility or send them home if they are showing obvious signs of illness (e.g. shaking, chills, flushed appearance, vomiting). NARA will only obtain the minimum health status information necessary to protect the health of other facility occupants. NARA will maintain their privacy and protect all health related information obtained.

A. Procedure

1. Temperature Checks. All NARA employees and contractors are required to check their temperatures on the days they are scheduled to work at a NARA facility. They must check their temperature at home, before reporting for duty.

2. Complete the health screening inventory. After checking their temperature and before reporting to the NARA workplace, your employees must answer each of the “yes” or “no” questions provided in paragraph B, Health Screening Inventory.

a. If your employee responds “yes” to any question on the health screening inventory:

(1) They must not report for duty to the NARA facility. They must immediately contact their project manager/supervisor and let him or her know that they answered “yes” to at least one question.

(2) If they were in the NARA facility within two weeks of experiencing symptoms, they must provide their project manager/supervisor with information necessary for NARA to conduct contact tracing. Once the information is obtained, the project manager/supervisor must provide the employee’s responses to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The project manager/supervisor must ask the employee the following questions:

i. Were you in the facility in the last two days before you first felt ill or were diagnosed, or within 14 days after you came in close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19?

ii. Where did you spend the majority of your time in the facility?

iii. Was there anyone else in the facility who you were within 6 feet of for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period?

(3) If your employee was diagnosed with COVID-19, tested positive, is experiencing symptoms, or was exposed to someone else who has COVID-19, they should be placed on 10 calendar days of home isolation. They may return to work at the NARA workplace at the end of the 10-day isolation period, only if they are free of COVID-19 related symptoms

(4) Seek medical attention.

b. If your employee responds “no” to all questions on the health screening inventory, they may report to work as scheduled.

II. MASK-WEARING

On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 13991, Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing. The goal of the Executive order is to halt the spread of COVID-19 by relying on the best available data and science-based public health measures. These measures include wearing face masks, physical distancing and other related precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). NARA is implementing these health and safety measures to protect our workforce and to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

A. All contractors working under a NARA contract and visitors must wear an appropriate face mask over their nose and mouth, at all times, while in a NARA facility, including outdoor shared spaces. Face masks may be removed only:

(1) When an individual is alone in an office with floor-to-ceiling walls and a closed door;

(2) When an individual is working alone in a records storage space (Federal Records Center (FRC) stack or archival bay); or

(3) For a brief period when eating or drinking while maintaining a minimum of 6 feet of physical distancing from others.

B. In accordance with CDC guidelines, an “Appropriate” face mask covers the nose and mouth, does not have an exhaust valve or vent, and does not display offensive words, images, or logos. NARA allows our employees to provide their own face masks if they meet our definition of “appropriate”. If it is consistent with your policy, you may allow your employees to wear their own appropriate face masks.

C. NARA will deny your employees access to our facility if they refuse to wear an appropriate face mask. Contractors will be solely responsible for any negative effect on contract performance that is the direct result of a contractor employee being denied access because she or he refused to wear a face mask in a NARA facility.

Note: The CDC COVID-19 website remains the authoritative source for facts about how to protect yourself and your family from COVID-19, and how to recognize symptoms of the virus. The site is frequently updated with virus guidance and provides updated travel advisories. It is wise to review the CDC website regularly for updated guidance.
