1.6.18 Installation Access

Based on recent guidance from the Secretary of the Army and COS Army, Senior Commanders and supporting garrison leadership are not authorized to grant unescorted installation access without the required identity proofing and vetting using the National Crime Information Center Interstate

Identification Index (NCIC-III).

Civilian personnel requesting access must have a valid reason to be on the federal installation, be sponsored by a DOD Civilian/military card holder, and be favorably vetted against the FBI's database.

Once these conditions have been met, we will issue credentials in the form of either a pass or DOD identification card from the DBIDS System that we currently have in place. (Defense Biometric

Identification System).

Personnel not affiliated with DOD and/or not vetted against NCIC-III or for a short term visit, must be escorted while on the installation.

National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening

Database (TSDB) Criteria for Denial.

Army Senior Commanders will, in the absence of an approved waiver, deny non-cleared individuals unescorted access to the installation based on the results of the NCIC-III and TSDB checks that contain credible derogatory information indicating that the individual may present a threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation. Such derogatory information includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. The NCIC-III contains criminal arrest information about the individual that causes the senior commander to determine that the individual presents a potential threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation.

2. The installation is unable to verify the individuals claimed identity based on the reasonable belief that the individual has submitted fraudulent information concerning his or her identity in the attempt to gain access.

3. The individual has a current arrest warrant in NCIC, regardless of the offense or violation.

4. The individual is currently barred from entry or access to a federal installation or facility.

5. The individual has been convicted of crimes encompassing sexual assault, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, production or possession of child pornography, trafficking humans, drug possession with the intent to sell or drug distribution.

6. The individual has a U.S. conviction for espionage, sabotage, treason, terrorism or murder.

7. The individual is a registered sex offender.

8. The individual has a felony conviction within the last 10 years, regardless of the offense or violation.

9. The individual has been convicted of a felony firearms or explosives violation.

10. The individual has engaged in acts or activities designed to overthrow the U.S. Government by force.

11. The individual is identified in the TSDB as known to be or suspected of being a terrorist or belonging to an organization with known links to terrorism or support of terrorist activity. When this capability becomes available to DOD, installation access control personnel will strictly follow the Federal Bureau of

Investigations published engagement protocols.

*Only Government officials whom the senior commander designates will perform fitness determinations.

Designations will be in writing by duty position and codified in local guidance.

DBIDS information required to issue passes/cards.

Stateside license, Personal data Ht/Wt/, Who the sponsor is, finger print/photo.

Before issuing ID cards to new employees or contractors, the standard requires agencies to conduct a background investigation of employees and contractors "who require long-term access to federally controlled facilities and/or information systems." This investigation would include agency initiation of the

National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or a similar type of national security investigation.

In the event credentials are issued without a completed NACI, the ID must be electronically distinguishable from those issued to individuals for whom the investigation has been completed. The

Contractor is responsible for meeting Antiterrorism/Operations Security Requirements. All contractor employees, to include subcontractor employees, requiring access Army installations, facilities and controlled access areas shall complete all mandatory training to include Antiterrorism (AT) and

Operations Security (OPSEC) training required by government employees and directed by the command.

The contractor and all associated subcontractors’ employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility, and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures

(provided by the Government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by the installation

Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services, or Security Office. The contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the

Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

The COR is the Point of Contact for all required OPSEC and iWatch training requirements identified in the contract.
