18. CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

The Contractor is hereby advised that some contract requirements may take place at facilities where a visitor security clearance may be required. Therefore, the Government reserves the right to request any appropriate information concerning Contractor personnel as necessary to provide security check and/or clearances to enter such facilities. The Contractor must comply with COMSCINST 5521.1 Series. The level of facility security clearance (FCL) required will be identified at the task order level. If an active FCL is deemed to be needed, a DD 254 will be required. If a Confidential or higher security clearance level is required, the Contractor and their key personnel shall be able to possess the necessary security clearance through the Defense Security Service (DSS). The task order will identify the specific classified material needed to complete the work and the level of classification. If classified information is required, FAR clause FAR 52.204-2 (Security Requirements) will be unilaterally implemented at the task order level.

Before performing any work under this Contract that is classified as Confidential or higher, the Contractor must have the proper Government approved FCL.

Base security clearance, including individual base access, for all contract personnel is the responsibility of the

Contractor. All personnel working under this contract must be able to obtain Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) Access Card(s) to access certain U.S. Government Installations. DBIDS has been implemented for access to DoD facilities in CONUS, HI, Guam and Puerto Rico. The Contractor is responsible for acquiring DBIDS credentials prior to performance start date. NOTE: One DBIDS Access Card does not work for all installations and therefore the process will need to be repeated for access. The Contractor shall work through the Port Engineer, or designated technical point of contact (TPOC), to obtain DBIDS Access Cards. SECNAV FORM 5512/1 DON ID Card Base Access Pass shall be used when requesting base access. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure all of their individuals have the required credentials and NOT the vessel or Port Engineer. The Contractor will be responsible only for those time or schedule delays due to the contractor’s negligence in the application process and that all other impacts will be addressed via FAR 52.212-4, Excusable Delays.

Contractor personnel may be eligible to obtain a Common Access Card (CAC) in accordance with DODM 1000.13 Volume 1. Contractor personnel will be required to have physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non- DoD federally controlled facilities worldwide on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for the entire five-year period of performance. To be eligible for a CAC, Contractor personnel shall comply with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) requiring the completion of an FBI fingerprint check with favorable results and the initiation of a Tier 1 Investigation (T1) or National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI). An individual who maintains a current equivalent or higher investigation shall not require an additional investigation. The Contractor shall work with the COR and MSC Security to verify credentials to obtain a CAC.

19. PROCEDURES FOR TASK ORDERS

After Contract award, individual task orders will be issued as necessary to support Contract requirements. The Contractor shall be notified of the services to be performed, either orally or in writing. The Contractor shall respond within the time established by the Government for response (will vary on an Order-by-Order basis) with a formal quote that identifies the number of labor hours, material, and/or travel required to complete the requirements. The quote will be evaluated for technical acceptability and price reasonableness to be eligible for award.

Price analysis will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.4, DFARS 215.4, and DFARS PGI 215.4 (Class Deviation 2026-O0048). Quotes shall include a clear breakdown of labor categories, number of labor hours per category, number of supporting personnel, all travel costs such as per diem rate (full and partial), airfare, and rental car, and a breakdown of all required material.

Material quotes shall include the description, part number, quantity required, unit price of each item, and lead time for each item. Quotes shall not provide material as a lump-sum. If the Contractor does not manufacture the parts themselves and is obtaining the part from another manufacturer, parent company, or licensor, the Contractor shall provide the manufacturer name and original part number. When shipping and handling is required, the quote shall list the price on a separate line and include the overall shipping/handling price, total number of shipments, and estimated weight and dimensions of the shipments.

When there is no other means for the Contracting Officer to determine that prices are fair and reasonable, the Contractor is required to submit “data other than certified cost or pricing data” to support the quoted prices. Examples of data other than certified cost or pricing data that can be submitted include, but are not limited to, commercial invoices to non-government entities for the same/similar items; cost data; detailed information about the item, such as specifications, performance characteristics, and materials used; factual information on factors that are affecting the cost, such as changes in raw material prices that is backed by economic data; or any information the Contracting Officer requires.

Contracting personnel will inform the Contractor of the specific form of data other than certified cost or pricing data to submit for the requirement. If commercial invoices for similar items are submitted, the contractor shall include an explanation of the similarities to what the Government requires.

MSCHQ Contracting personnel will notify the Contractor of the acceptance/rejection of the estimate. The Contractor will be directed to commence work via a Task Order sent from the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist. The Contractor shall provide notice of acceptance of the Task Order by signing and returning the order to the Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist.

In the event the contractor discovers growth work during contract performance, the Contractor shall notify the COR, contracting officer/specialist, and the Port Engineer or TPOC of all findings immediately and submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) within 24 hours of discovery.

20. INVOICE REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall follow WAWF procedures when submitting invoices. Specific WAWF instructions will be included in each TO.

21. CONTRACTOR PAST PERFORMANCE RATING SYSTEM

22. H-5 MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACT AWARD AND INSTALLATION ACCESS WITHIN

USCENTCOM AOR

For performance within the USCENTCOM AOR, after award, at the beginning of each performance period, the contractor, as the prime contractor must certify that they have anacceptable Joint Contingency Contracting System(JCCS) vendor rating.

Failure to be approved in JCCS -- and thereby be eligible for installation access at the prime contractor levels –may render the offeror/contractor ineligible for award or continued performance. Additionally, any firm that is declared ineligible for installation access will be deemed non-responsible until such time as that firm is again deemed eligible by the appropriate access approval authority.

a) U.S. and Coalition Commanders possess inherent authority to maintain law and order, provide security, and impose discipline necessary to protect the inhabitants of U.S. and/or Coalition installations, U.S. and Coalition personnel operating outside of installations, and U.S. or Coalition-funded developmental projects in the entire USCENTCOM AOR. This authority allows commanders to administratively and physically control access to installations and/or project sites, and to bar contractors – including prime contractors, subcontractors at any tier, and any employees, from an installation or site. A commander’s inherent force protection (FP) authority is independent of an agency’s contracting authority, and it may not be superseded by any contractual term or provision.

b) The Prime Contractor/Vendor acknowledges that: submission of a bid, offer, or a proposal;

acceptance of contract award of any type; or continuing effort under any contract that includes this language; requires that the Prime Contractor/Vendor be initially eligible -- and remain eligible during the entire period of contract performance to include any warranty period – for installation access to a U.S. and/or Coalition installation, regardless of whether the performance will take place on or off a U.S. or Coalition installation. As part of the responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Part 9, prior to awarding a contract in support of contingency operations in the USCENTCOM AOR, all contacting activities shall verify that the Awardee has an acceptable JCCS vendor FP rating of “A” or “B”.

c) To be eligible for contract award and installation access, Contractors at all tiers are required to register for installation access in the US Government Information Technology (IT) Joint Contingency and Expeditionary Services (JCXS) system containing the JCCS module and are responsible for keeping the information in this system updated at all times.

Prime Contractors or contractors at any tier may verify their registration at https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe/ by selecting the “Vendors Login” module and logging in with their user name and password. The offeror must be registered, approved, and eligible for installation access prior to award, and remain eligible for installation access for the life https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe/ https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe/ https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe/ of the contract.

d) Installation access determinations arise from the Combatant Commander’s inherent…
