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.

| (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). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. 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. |

A.13 SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS AND PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL
Definition. As used in this clause the term access means, “access to OCC facilities, information systems, security items and products, and/or sensitive but unclassified information.”
The OCC shall have the right under this contract to require Contractor personnel that need access, as defined above, to undergo a security investigation. As used herein, “contractor personnel” includes, but is not limited to, advisors or consultants to the contractor, subcontractors or their personnel, or any other persons under the auspices of the contractor. The type of security investigations conducted shall be determined by the OCC and will depend upon several factors including, but not limited to, the duration of the contract, the kind of access the personnel will have, the sensitivity of the duties the personnel will perform, and whether adequate investigations have previously been done. Investigations can range from credit and fingerprint checks to full background reviews.
Due to the nature of the work to be performed and the type of information involved on this contract, the OCC requires that any individual assigned to perform work on this contract shall have had a favorably adjudicated Federal background investigation conducted within the past five (5) years at the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) level as defined by the Office of Personnel Management. The contractor shall provide the OCC’s Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Security (CIPS) a roster of those employees to be assigned which will include:
| Employee Full Name |
| Employee Social Security Number |
| Employee Date of Birth |
| Level of Background Investigation |
| Date of Background Investigation |
| Name of Agency that Performed the Investigation (i.e. Office of Personnel Management, Secret Service, FBI, etc.) |
The CIPS office will verify investigation information for each contractor employee and the OCC reserves the right to reject any employee where investigation information cannot be verified or does not meet the OCC’s minimum standard.
In addition to the investigation requirements cited above, each contractor employee will be required to submit to a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) process as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) before being issued an OCC PIV Card (agency contractor ID badge). This process includes a verification of two forms of identification documents and submission of digital fingerprints to conduct a check of the FBI’s fingerprint database. Specific instructions for completion of the PIV process will be provided after contract award.
The contractor shall immediately notify both the contracting officer and the COTR when a contractor employee with an OCC issued security badge will no longer be working on this contract. This notification must be in writing (e-mail is acceptable) and must be provided at least one business day prior to the employee’s departure.
The Contractor shall immediately replace, with equally qualified employee(s), any employee(s) whose security investigation does not result in a favorable adjudication. The OCC shall have the unilateral right to make security adjudication decisions.
During the life of the contract, the Contractor shall immediately notify the COTR of any new contractor employees that will require access. Access for new contractor employees will be handled in accordance with the process outlined above.
The cost for any investigations required under the contract will be reimbursed to the Contractor by the Government only if the investigation results in a favorable adjudication.
