AIRBORNE INFECTION ISOLATION ROOM CERTIFICATION AND
MAINTENANCE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) are responsible for the care and custody of detained immigrants throughout the nation. IHSC supports the ICE mission by providing or arranging clinically appropriate healthcare. Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (AIIRs) provide a specialized, controlled environment to isolate individuals with suspected or confirmed airborne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis (TB). These rooms control airflow and air pressure to prevent the spread of infectious agents. AIIRs play a critical role in detention settings by safely managing affected individuals and protecting staff, other detainees, and visitors from exposure.
2.0 GENERAL
Airborne infectious diseases pose significant health risks in detention facilities, as they can spread rapidly through the air and affect both detainees and staff. Diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza etc. highlight the importance of effective infection control measures. Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (AIIRs) play a vital role in protecting facility populations by controlling airflow and air pressure to contain infectious agents. This contract ensures that 63 AIIRs across 16 ICE/ERO detention facilities receive annual maintenance and certification in accordance with standards set by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) located at https://ncchc.org/. These efforts help maintain a safe and healthy environment for detainees, staff, and visitors.
3.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Contractor personnel will conduct annual maintenance and certification for 63 Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (AIIRs) across 16 detention facilities. These specialized rooms control airflow and air pressure to prevent the spread of airborne infectious diseases. Annual maintenance ensures proper operation and calibration of negative pressure systems, supporting the safe management of affected individuals and protecting staff, detainees, and visitors from exposure. Government personnel will provide facility access and escorts as required
4.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT
The functionality of these (AIIRs) must comply with the current Center for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) guidelines. The CDC standards apply to the actual specifications of the isolation rooms. The CDC standards are available directly from the CDC via mail, 1600 Clifton Road, Atlanta, GA 30329 or their web site
(USA.gov), or by phone call 800-232-4636.
The isolation rooms should comply, but are not limited, to the following requirements:
1. Ventilation system should provide a minimum of twelve (12) air changes of outdoor air per hour for both intake and exhaust.
2. One hundred (100%) percent of the air should be treated with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters and exhausted directly to the outdoors above and re-entrainment zone of the building.
3. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) known as UV lights can be used in conjunction with the HEPA filters.
4. The minimum pressure difference required to maintain negative pressure is .025mm (0.001 inch of water) which means the exhaust must exceed the supply of air by a minimum of ten (10%) percent or 50cfm.
5. The ventilation system should be designed to maintain inward airflow to the rear of the detention facility.
6. The exhaust fan should be interlocked with the supply fan so if the exhaust fan shuts off the supply will automatically shut off as well preventing the area from becoming positively pressurized.

7.0 PERSONNEL SECURITY VETTING REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has determined that performance of the tasks as described in this contract requires that the Contractor, subcontractor(s), vendor(s), etc. (herein known as Contractor) have access to sensitive DHS information, and that the Contractor will adhere to the following.
PRELIMINARY FITNESS DETERMINATION
ICE will exercise full control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating unescorted government facility and/or sensitive Government information access for contractor applicants/employees, based upon the results of a Fitness screening process. ICE may, as it deems appropriate, authorize and make a favorable expedited preliminary Fitness determination based on preliminary security checks. The preliminary Fitness determination will allow the contractor employee to commence work temporarily prior to the completion of a Full Field Background Investigation.
The granting of a favorable preliminary Fitness shall not be considered as assurance that a favorable final Fitness determination will follow as a result thereof. The granting of preliminary Fitness or final Fitness shall in no way prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such access by ICE, at any time during the term of the contract. No employee of the contractor shall be allowed to enter on duty and/or access sensitive information or systems without a favorable preliminary Fitness determination by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), ICE Personnel Security Division (PSD). No employee of the contractor shall be allowed unescorted access to a Government facility without a favorable preliminary Fitness determination by OPR PSD. Contract employees are processed in accordance with 5 CFR 731, and DHS Instruction 121-01-007, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2024, those having direct contact with Detainees will also have 6 CFR § 115.117 considerations made as part of the Fitness screening process. Sexual Abuse and Assault Prevention Standards implemented pursuant to Public Law 108-79 (Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003)).
CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE FITNESS SCREENING
Screening criteria under 5 CFR 731, and DHS Instruction 121-01-007, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2024, that may exclude contractor employees from consideration to perform under this agreement includes:
• Misconduct or negligence in employment
• Criminal conduct;
• Material, intentional false statement or deception of fraud in examination or appointment;
• Dishonest conduct;
• Excessive alcohol use, without evidence of rehabilitation, of a nature and duration that suggests that the applicant or appointee would be prevented from performing the duties of the position in question, or would constitute a direct threat to the property or safety of the applicant or appointee or others;
• Illegal use of narcotics, drugs, or other controlled substances, without evidence of substantial rehabilitation;
• Knowing and willful engagement in acts or activities designed to overthrow the U.S. Government by force;
• Any statutory or regulatory bar which prevents the lawful employment of the person involved in the position in question (for Excepted Service employees);
• Violent conduct; and
• Any other nondiscriminatory reason that an individual’s employment (or work on a contract) would not protect the integrity or promote the efficiency of the service.
Screening criteria under 6 CFR § 115.117 (Sexual Abuse and Assault Prevention Standards) implemented pursuant to Public Law 108-79 (Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003) or successor thereto, that WILL exclude contractor employees from consideration to perform under this agreement includes:

POSITION DESIGNATION
In accordance with 5 CFR part 731, and 5 CFR 1400. Agencies are required to designate position risk and sensitivity level for all contractor employees to determine the commensurate level of background investigation. The public trust risk of a position is the assessment of the degree of potential damage to the efficiency or integrity of the service that could arise from misconduct by the incumbent in the position.
Therefore, once the contract is awarded and before the vendor starts submitting personnel for security vetting, the contractor will provide, through the Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) a list of all positions, to include titles and specific description of the duties for each of positions assigned to support the contract.
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS
Contractor employees (to include applicants, temporary, part-time and replacement employees) under the contract, needing access to sensitive information and/or ICE Detainees, shall undergo a position sensitivity analysis based on the duties each individual will perform on the contract. The results of the position sensitivity analysis shall identify the appropriate background investigation to be conducted. Background investigations will be processed through OPR PSD. Contractor applicant/employees are nominated by a Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for consideration to support this contract via submission of the DHS Form 11000-25 and ICE Supplement to the DHS Form 11000-25 to OPR PSD. This contract shall submit the following security vetting documentation to OPR PSD, through the COR, within 10 days of notification of initiation of an Electronic Application for Background Investigations (eAPP), in the automated on-line system:
1. Standard Form 85P (Standard Form 85PS (with supplement to 85P required for those with direct contact with detainees or armed positions)), “Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions” or successor thereto form completed online and archived by the contractor applicant/employee in their eAPP account.
2. Signature Release Forms (Three total) generated by eAPP upon completion of
Questionnaire (e-signature recommended/acceptable). Completed online and archived by the contractor applicant/employee in their eAPP account.
3. Electronic fingerprints taken at an approved facility OR two (2) SF 87 Fingerprint
Cards (current revision) sent to OPR PSD. Additional information regarding fingerprints will be sent to the contractor applicant/employee from OPR PSD.
4. Optional Form 306 Declaration for Federal Employment. This document is sent as an attachment in an e-mail to the contractor applicant/employee from OPR PSD.
5. Social Security Administration 89 form (SSA-89): Authorization for the Social Security Administration (SSA) to Release Social Security Number (SSN) Verification, which requires a hard signature from the applicant. This document is sent as an attachment in an e-mail to the contractor applicant/employee from OPR
PSD.
6. If occupying PREA designated position: Questionnaire regarding conduct defined under 6 CFR § 115.117 (Sexual Abuse and Assault Prevention Standards). This document is sent as an attachment in an e-mail to the contractor applicant/employee from OPR PSD.
7. One additional document may be applicable if the contractor applicant/employee was born abroad. If applicable, the document will be sent as an attachment in an e-mail to OPR PSD from the contractor applicant/employee.
Contracting companies with 300 or more personnel will be required to initiate their own personnel security questionnaires (eAPP) via the DCSA/NBIS portal. OPR PSD will provide training to contractor personnel on how to initiate their applicant’s security documents prior to submission to PSD for security vetting.
Contractor employees who have an adequate, current investigation by another Federal Agency may not be required to submit complete security packages; the investigation may be accepted under transfer of trust. The questionnaire related to 6 CFR § 115.117 listed above in item 5 will be required for positions designated under PREA. OPR PSD will determine if personnel meet transfer of trust requirements at the initial stage of processing and prior to requesting a new security questionnaire.
Required information for submission of security packet will be provided by OPR PSD at the time of award of the contract. Only complete packages will be accepted by OPR PSD as notified by the COR.
To ensure adequate background investigative coverage, contractor applicants/employees must currently reside in the United States or its Territories.
Additionally, contractor applicants/employees are required to have resided within the United States or its Territories for three or more years out of the last five (ICE retains the right to deem a contractor applicant/employee ineligible due to insufficient background coverage). This timeline is assessed based on the signature date of the standard form questionnaire submitted for the applied position. Contractor employees falling under the following situations may be exempt from the residency requirement:
1) work or worked for the U.S. Government in foreign countries in federal civilian or military capacities; 2) were or are dependents accompanying a federal civilian or a military employee serving in foreign countries so long as they were or are authorized by the U.S. Government to accompany their federal civilian or military sponsor in the foreign location; 3) worked as a contractor employee, volunteer, consultant or intern on behalf of the federal government overseas, where stateside coverage can be obtained to complete the background investigation; 4) studied abroad at a U.S.
affiliated college or university; or 5) have a current and adequate background investigation (commensurate with the position risk/sensitivity levels) completed for a federal or contractor employee position, barring any break in federal employment or federal sponsorship.
Only U.S. citizens and Legal Permanent Residents are eligible for employment on contracts requiring access to DHS sensitive information unless an exception is granted as outlined under DHS Instruction 121-01-007, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2024. Per DHS Sensitive Systems Policy Directive 4300A, only U.S. citizens are eligible for positions requiring access to DHS Information Technology (IT) systems or positions that are involved in the development, operation, management, or maintenance of DHS
IT systems, unless an exception is granted as outlined under DHS Instruction 121-01- 007, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2024.
CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY
ICE will exercise full control over granting, denying and/or restrict facility and information access of any contractor employee whose actions conflict with Fitness standards contained in 5 CFR 731 and DHS Instruction 121-01-007, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2024, or who violate standards of conduct under 6 CFR § 115.117. The Contracting Officer or their representative can determine if a risk of compromising sensitive Government information exists or if the efficiency of service is at risk and may direct immediate removal of a contractor employee from contract support.
The Federal Government is transitioning to Trusted Workforce (TW) 2.0, which is a government-wide reform effort overhauling the personnel vetting process. One of the principles of this transition is eliminating the traditional five-year periodic reinvestigation requirements, and enrolling personnel into continuous vetting programs. All contractor employees will be subjected to the transition and will be enrolled into a continuous vetting system at a date to be determined. Continuous vetting will replace the traditional five-year periodic background investigation, allowing for background investigations to be conducted if/when derogatory information is discovered.
Enrollment will include multiple requirements from all personnel and potential changes to processes, procedures, and systems. This contract will comply with all requirements that facilitate the mandated transition to TW 2.0.
OPR PSD will evaluate concerns received via multiple sources under the continuous vetting process, to evaluate continued Fitness of contractor employees. If concerns cannot be mitigated, the contractor will be removed from the ICE contract upon notification from OPR PSD.
REQUIRED REPORTS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The contractor will notify OPR PSD, via the COR providing an ICE Form 50-005, Contractor Employee Separation Clearance Checklist, of all terminations/resignations of contractor employees under the contract within five days of occurrence to the ICEDepartureNotification@ice.dhs.gov group box. The contractor will return any expired ICE issued identification cards and building passes of terminated/resigned employees to the COR. If an identification card or building pass is not available to be returned, a report must be submitted to the COR referencing the pass or card number, name of individual to whom issued, the last known location and disposition of the pass or card. The COR will return the identification cards and building passes to the responsible ID Unit.
IAW DHS Instruction 121-01-007, Revision 2, dated August 10, 2024, the Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) notify the servicing personnel and industrial security offices when a contractor employee is no longer working for ICE.
mailto:ICEDepartureNotification@ice.dhs.gov
The contractor is required to report any derogatory information concerning the individual immediately, in accordance with the contract requirements.
The contractor will report any adverse information coming to their attention concerning contractor employees under the contract to OPR PSD, via the COR, as soon as possible. Reports based on rumor or innuendo should not be made. The subsequent termination of employment of an employee does not obviate the requirement to submit this report. The report should include the contractor employees’ full name and social security number, along with the adverse information being reported. See Contractor Employee Fitness Screening section, screening criteria for reportable issues. Report this information to PSD-CEP-REPORTING@ice.dhs.gov.
The contractor will provide, through the COR, a Quarterly Report (on a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet) containing the names of contractor employees who are actively serving on their contract. The list shall include the Name, Position and SSN (Last Four) and should be derived from system(s) used for contractor payroll/voucher processing to ensure accuracy. This list is what ICE Industrial Security uses to reconcile the contract quarterly.
CORs will submit reports to PSD-Industrial-Security@ice.dhs.gov no later than the 10th day of each January, April, July and October.
Contractors, who are involved with management and/or use of information/data deemed “sensitive” to include ‘law enforcement sensitive” are required to complete the DHS Form 11000-6-Sensitive but Unclassified Information Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for contractor employee access to sensitive information. The NDA will be administered by the COR to all contract personnel within 10 calendar days of the entry on duty date. The completed form shall remain on file with the COR for purpose of administration and inspection.
Sensitive information as defined under the Computer Security Act of 1987, Public Law 100-235 is information not otherwise categorized by statute or regulation that if disclosed could have an adverse impact on the welfare or privacy of individuals or on the welfare or conduct of Federal programs or other programs or operations essential to the national interest. Examples of sensitive information include personal data such as Social Security numbers; trade secrets; system vulnerability information; pre-solicitation procurement documents, such as statements of work; and information pertaining to law enforcement investigative methods; similarly, detailed reports related to computer security deficiencies in internal controls are also sensitive information because of the potential damage that could be caused by the misuse of this information. All sensitive information must be protected from loss, misuse, modification, and unauthorized access in accordance with DHS Management Directive 11042.1, DHS Policy for Sensitive Information and ICE Policy 4003, Safeguarding Law Enforcement Sensitive Information.
