Request for Proposal CC15HQR0010 Page 17 of 60 conducted by the OCC include an FBI criminal check and/or a suitability investigation.

Contractor personnel must submit information for background investigations electronically through the e-QIP system (http://www.opm.gov/e-QIP/). The Office of Security (OS) will notify contractor personnel when e-QIP is ready to receive their information. After submitting their information, contractor personnel must print required security forms from e-QIP. Printed forms must be signed by the employee and provided to OS.

For background investigation purposes, contractor personnel are required to provide a set of fingerprints. Contractor personnel must appear in-person to provide fingerprints. See OCC Clause 1052.245-8007 for requirements regarding in-person appearances for security purposes.

The results of all background investigations will be reviewed and adjudicated by OS. Based on investigation results, the OCC has the unilateral right to bar an individual from working under a contract or otherwise restrict the individual’s role under a contract.

The costs for all investigations required under this contract will be borne by the

OCC.

H.10 1052.245-8007 (OCC) IN-PERSON APPEARANCES FOR SECURITY

PURPOSES (JAN 2014)

Contractor personnel must appear in person to:

1. Have their fingerprints taken for a background investigation

2. Have their photograph taken for HSPD-12-compliant security badge (referred to as a SmartID) or an Office of the Comptroller of the Currency- (OCC) issued security badge.*

3. Receive and activate a SmartID or an OCC-issued security badge.*

Generally, items 1. and 2.above are normally completed during a single in-person appearance. An individual typically requires two in-person appearances to complete all tasks, but more in-person appearances may be required under some circumstances.

The location at which contractor personnel must appear depends on the contract place of performance and security badge requirements. Generally, contractor personnel performing work in the Washington, DC area will be required to appear at the OCC Headquarters, located at 400 7th Street SW, Washington, DC 20219.

Contractor personnel working elsewhere will generally be required to appear at a USAccess credentialing center operated by the General Services Administration (GSA). (A list of GSA-operated credentialing centers can be found at http://www.fedidcard.gov/deployoss.aspx.)

Contractor personnel requiring in-person appearances at an OCC facility will schedule their appearance with the OCC Office of Security (OS). Appointments http://www.fedidcard.gov/deployoss.aspx

Information Technology With respect to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), information technology means any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment, used in the automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information by the OCC, if the equipment is used by the OCC directly or is used by a contractor under a contract with the OCC that requires the use:

(i) of that equipment; or

(ii) of that equipment to a significant extent in the performance of a service or the furnishing of a product.

Information technology includes computers, ancillary equipment (including imaging peripherals, input, output, and storage devices necessary for security and surveillance), peripheral equipment designed to be controlled by the central processing unit of a computer, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including support services), and related resources; but does not include any equipment acquired by a federal contractor incidental to a federal contract.

Integrity Guarding against improper information modification or destruction, and includes ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity.

Service Provider Service Providers are non-OCC entities that support the OCC mission and information systems. These are any individual or other legal entity that (1) directly or indirectly (e.g., through an affiliate), submits offers for or is awarded, or reasonably may be expected to submit offers for or be awarded, a Government contract, including a contract for carriage under Government or commercial bills of lading, or a subcontract under a Government contract; or (2) conducts business, or reasonably may be expected to conduct business, with the Government as an agent or representative of another service provider.

Service providers are classified one of two ways: contracted or shared.

citizens and shall complete the Privileged User training prior to receiving elevated permissions.

H.13 1052.342-8000 (OCC) CONTRACTOR’S COMMITMENT TO EQUAL

OPPORTUNITY IN EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRACTING (APR 2012)

Contractor confirms its commitment to equal opportunity in employment and contracting. To implement this commitment, the Contractor shall ensure, to the maximum extent possible consistent with applicable law, the fair inclusion of minorities and women in its workforce. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause in all subcontracts under this Contract when the dollar value exceeds $150,000.

Within ten (10) business days of a written request from the OCC’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI), or such longer time as the OMWI determines, and without any additional consideration required from the Agency, the Contractor shall provide documentation, satisfactory to the Agency, of the actions it (and, as applicable, its subcontractors) has undertaken to demonstrate its good-faith efforts to comply with the aforementioned provisions.

For purposes of this contract, “good-faith efforts” may include actions by the contractor intended to identify and, if present, remove barriers to minority and women employment or expansion of employment opportunities for minorities and women within its workforce. Efforts to remove such barriers may include, but are not limited to, recruiting minorities and women, providing job-related training, or engaging in other activities that could lead to those results.

The documentation requested by the OMWI may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following:
