(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims).

Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757.

52.204-9 PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL (SEP 2007)

The Bureau of Public Debt Addendum to AB No. 05-12R1

Contractor Personnel Security and Suitability Requirements

Performance of this contract requires Contractor personnel to have a Federal government-issued personal identification card before being allowed unsupervised access to a government facility and/or information system. The Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) will be the sponsoring official, and will make the arrangements for personal identity verification and card issuance.

At least two weeks before start of contract performance, the Contractor will identify all Contractor and subcontractor personnel who will require physical and/or logical access for performance of work under this contract. The Contractor must make their personnel available at the place and time specified by the COTR in order to initiate screening and background investigations. The following forms, or their equivalent, will be used to initiate the credentialing process:

· The designated Standard Form (fillable forms available at http://www.opm.gov/forms/html/sf.asp)

· OF 306 (fillable forms available at http://www.opm.gov/forms/html/of.asp)

· I-9 Form, Documents Utilized in Identity Proofing at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf

· Fingerprint Card

· Release to Obtain Credit Information

· Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card application

Contractor employees are required to give, and to authorize others to give, full, frank, and truthful answers to relevant and material questions needed to reach a suitability determination. Refusal or failure to furnish or authorize provision of information may constitute grounds for denial or revocation of credentials. Government personnel may contact the Contractor personnel being screened or investigated in person, by telephone or in writing, and the Contractor agrees to make them available for such contact.

Alternatively, if an individual has already been credentialed by another agency, and that credential has not yet expired, further investigation may not be necessary. Provide the COTR with documentation that supports the individual’s status.

During performance of the contract, the Contractor will keep the COTR apprised of changes in personnel to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes. Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COTR and Issuing Office within 18 hours. Replacement will be at the Contractor’s expense. If reissuance of expired credentials is needed, it will be coordinated through the COTR.

At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor will ensure that all identification cards are returned to the COTR. If the Contractor does not return all identification cards the last payment may be withheld.

Before starting work under this contract, an FBI fingerprint check will be conducted and the appropriate level background investigation will be initiated. The minimum level background investigation conducted will be a National Agency Check w/ Inquiries (NACI). This provides for the government to positively identify and make a suitability determination of the individual applying for access under this contract. If at any point during this process investigative results are unfavorably adjudicated, the individual will be denied admittance to work on the contract, including both physical and/or logical access. If it is determined that the sensitivity of the government information that will be accessed under this contract is Critical-Sensitive in nature, then it may be required that the background investigation be completed and adjudicated prior to granting the Contractor access. Upon receipt of a favorable FBI fingerprint check, an identification card will be issued and access will be granted. In the event of a disagreement between the Contractor and the Government concerning the suitability of an individual to perform work under this contract, the Government shall have the right of final determination.

This requirement must be incorporated into any subcontracts that require subcontractor personnel to have regular and routine unsupervised physical access to a Federally controlled facility for six (6) months or more, or any unsupervised logical access to a Federally controlled information system.

Physical Access: Is the ability to enter a federally owned facility or federally leased space:

· If federal space is limited to a portion of a building then HSPD-12 applies only to that portion owned or leased by the federal government

· Physical access requirements do not apply to:

· Contractors (permanent, intermittent, temporary, or seasonal), guest researchers, and volunteers needing access for less than six (6) months

Logical Access: Ability to access federal IT systems or databases – applies to everyone regardless of how long access is required and whether within a federal facility or by remote connectivity
