This security screening process may be time consuming, and access may be delayed or denied. COR will provide specifics to the contractor after award and at least ten days prior to the expected visit date for completion. This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening. Contractor workers will not be granted access to the work site until security screening is completed and access is approved. Any contractor personnel on-site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD. Ensure undocumented workers are not included in contracted work related to Army missions.

The company will ensure that its employees entering Army-controlled installations or facilities have obtained access badges and passes in accordance with facility regulations and that these badges and passes are obtained in advance so as not to delay the accomplishment of contracted services.

Pre-Bid Site Visit Controls: Any pre-bid site visits held before the contract award will be conducted under strict security controls. These protocols—including mandatory pre-registration for baseline vetting and constant escorting—apply to all potential bidders, regardless of any previous work history with TYAD or current installation access. During this public solicitation phase, a contractor's prior access or familiarity with the installation does not grant them a "need-to-know" for a new requirement. All bidders will be treated as external entities, and the site visit is strictly for a visual inspection of physical conditions only.

Post-Award Information Release: Conversely, all project specifics—including exact locations, detailed plans, and mission context—can and must be provided to the contractor only after the contract is awarded and their personnel have completed all mandatory security training (AT, OPSEC, CUI). At this stage, the contractor has an established "lawful government purpose," and the controlled release of detailed information is appropriate and necessary for the performance of the contract.

Common Access Card (CAC): [If applicable.] Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) Both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) Remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) Physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled NACI at the Office of Personnel Management.

Contractors shall be identified with Government issued identification card (e.g., Common Access Card (CAC) or unit specified identification card). When required, contractor personnel shall comply with local security policies to wear their identification card in a standardized manner, clearly visible attached to the torso of the exterior garment above the belt and below the shoulders except when in use (i.e., inserted in a computer CAC reader) or when in controlled areas requiring other credentials as the primary method of identification. To access any Government base and certain facilities, the contractor shall present required identification card upon demand. Upon exit from Government facilities, the contractor shall conceal their credentials (CAC or other credentials) from plain view. The contractor and Contractor Security Manager/Officer shall coordinate with the COR for Government credential issues.

For contractors that do not require CAC, but require access to a DoD facility or installation: Contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13); applicable installation, facility and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by Government representative); or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status-of-forces agreements and other theater regulations.

Collection of Badges: The Contractor shall account for all forms of Government-provided identification (even visitor badges) issued to the Contractor employees in connection with performance under this contract. The Contractor shall return such identification to the issuing agency at the earliest of any of the following, unless otherwise determined by the Government:

1. When no longer needed for contract performance

2. Upon completion of the Contractor employee’s employment

3. Upon contract completion or termination The Contracting Officer may delay final payment under a contract if the Contractor fails to comply with these requirements. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph, in all subcontracts when the subcontractor’s employees are required to have routine physical access to a federally controlled facility and/or routine access to a federally controlled information system. It shall be the responsibility of the prime Contractor to return such identification to the issuing agency in accordance with the terms set forth in of this section, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. The company will return all issued U.S. Government Common Access Cards, installation badges, and/or access passes to the COR when the contract is completed or when a contractor employee no longer requires access to the installation or facility. Contractor personnel will obtain a vehicle pass for access to the military installation and Common Access Cards for computer access, if applicable.

Threat Awareness and Reporting Program (TARP). [If applicable.] For all contractors with security clearances, per AR 381-12, TARP contractor employees must receive initial and annual TARP training by a CI Agent or other trainer as specified.

Insider Threat Program. [If applicable.] The contractor will establish and maintain an insider threat program to gather, integrate, and report relevant and available information indicative of a potential or actual insider threat, consistent with E.O. 13587 and Presidential Memorandum “National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs.”

Operations Security (OPSEC). OPSEC is mandatory for all and is not a one-time checklist, it is a dynamic, ongoing process embedded in every phase of planning, execution, and daily operations. It requires continuous critical thinking and vigilance from everyone who interacts with government information or operates on a government installation. This includes military personnel, Department of Defense civilians, contractors, subcontractors, and family members. OPSEC is not just a policy, it’s a mindset. Its success depends on consistent awareness and execution by every member of the TYAD community.

At TYAD, all observations, communications, and experiences must be protected and must not be shared with anyone lacking a lawful government purpose or a validated business need-to-know. This disciplined approach ensures that emerging threats, evolving vulnerabilities, and shifting mission parameters are constantly reassessed and addressed to safeguard critical information.

OPSEC applies across the full spectrum of DoD missions, functions, programs, and activities under this contract. Practicing OPSEC daily is a requirement that is essential to mission success and the protection of national security assets.

Failure to properly safeguard sensitive or classified information—whether through negligence, willful misconduct, or ignorance—may result in administrative, disciplinary, contractual, or criminal consequences.

Applicability and Management of the Contractor OPSEC Plan The requirement for an Operations Security (OPSEC) Plan or an OPSEC Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) is based on the contractor's access to and handling of Critical Information and/or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), regardless of where that information resides. It is essential to distinguish between Information Security (INFOSEC), which protects data "at rest" within a system, and OPSEC, which protects data "in use" by governing the procedures and actions of personnel.

When contractor personnel generate, access or handle CUI—such as building floor plans, maps, technical manuals, operational schedules, or documents that contain information that falls within a CUI category www.dodcui.mil—they are required to have an approved OPSEC Plan/SOP. Contact the COR for more information on an OPSEC Plan/SOP. This plan is a formal, documented agreement that outlines how the contractor will protect the government's sensitive information. Even when CUI is handled exclusively on Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), the contractor remains responsible for the "human factor." The OPSEC Plan transfers the responsibility for protecting this information from the Government to the contractor by legally obligating them to establish internal procedures for everything from secure physical storage and controlled discussions to the proper destruction of materials. Without this plan, the Government retains all risk for how a contractor safeguards its data.

The management and approval of the contractor's OPSEC Plan is a shared responsibility, with defined roles at each stage. Per government acquisition and security policy, it is the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) who is ultimately responsible for the initial identification and final enforcement of this requirement. The process is as follows: The COR (designated technical representative) identifies the need for an OPSEC Plan based on the work described and writes the requirement into the Statement of Work (SOW)/checks this off on the Security Review Cover Sheet. After contract award, the COR enforces this by ensuring the contractor submits the plan on time. The Contracting Officer (KO) ensures the requirement is legally binding in the final contract and is the sole authority to take contractual action for non-compliance. Finally, the Government OPSEC Officer, as the technical expert, is responsible for reviewing the submitted plan against AR 530-1 and providing the formal approval or rejection back to the COR.

Mandatory Annual OPSEC Training Requirements. In accordance with AR 530-1 (4-2-a), all contractors and subcontractors shall complete OPSEC Level I certification training annually (Initial and Continual – detailed below).

The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) serves as the oversight authority: the COR verifies contractual compliance by collecting and reviewing certificates, ensuring they’re submitted within the required timeframe – first 30 days of assignment.

According to AR 530-1 (para 4-2) and DoDM 5205.02, there is no “grace period” or minimum number of days on-site before OPSEC Level I Initial and Continual training becomes mandatory—any contractor, subcontractor, or support‐service provider who requires access to TYAD information, systems, or facilities must complete both parts of their OPSEC Level I training.

OPSEC Level I training is comprised of two parts (Initial and Continual):

1. OPSEC Level I Initial training (annual):

a. To be completed within first 30 days of assignment to…
