This document is GPO Directive 825.38B, which outlines the rules and regulations governing GPO buildings and grounds.

The directive applies to all GPO employees, contractors, tenants, and visitors.

The related federal contract opportunity is for Construction Management Services at the GPO. The Government intends to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide construction management support services at various stages of the project life cycle for projects performed by third-party contractors. The services are intended to augment GPO's internal project management capabilities for projects of varying complexity.

GPO Directive 825.38B March 13, 2017

Rules and Regulations Governing GPO Buildings and Grounds

1. Purpose. To update the security requirements to protect GPO personnel, property, and highly sensitive assets.

2. Cancellation. This Directive supersedes GPO Instruction 825.38A, Subject: Rules and Regulations Governing Buildings and Grounds, dated August 3, 2010, as subsequently amended.

3. Reference. GPO Directive 825.2C, Personnel Security Program, dated June 18, 2013.

4. Scope. This Directive applies to all GPO employees, contractors, tenants, and visitors.

5. Definitions.

a. Authorized Personnel Only. A controlled area designated for official personnel and authorized GPO contractors which includes, but is not limited to, selected areas reserved for information technology, maintenance, electrical, power, safety, and security.

b. No Lone Zone. A controlled area designated in concurrence with the responsible Managing Directors and the Chief Security Officer, Security Services, in which continued presence by a single individual is prohibited. This is an area, room, or space that, when staffed, must be occupied by two or more appropriately cleared individuals who remain within sight of each other. An uncleared employee may enter a no-lone zone to perform a specific task only if escorted by a member of a Two-Person team. Escorts should be capable of detecting incorrect acts or unauthorized procedures. Escort procedures will be accomplished in accordance with the applicable directive(s) governing the system or critical component defining the no-lone zone.

c. Sensitive Work Area. A controlled area designated in concurrence with Managing Directors and the Chief Security Officer, Security Services, in which extremely sensitive (not classified) work is conducted, produced, and/or stored.

d. Two-Person Team. A controlled area which requires a minimum of two authorized persons, each having technical knowledge and being in a position to detect incorrect or unauthorized operations with respect to the task to be performed and familiar with pertinent safety and security requirements, be present during all operations that afford access to an asset. The two-person concept applies to any designated area that contains principal components from which a lone individual is denied access. This area must be designated in concurrence with the responsible Managing Directors and the Chief Security Officer, Security Services.
