SWFLANT SECURITY INFORMATION
| 1.0 | SCOPE |
| This appendix sets forth security provisions governing work at the Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic (SWFLANT) on Naval Submarine Base (SUBASE) Kings Bay. |
2.0 CONTRACTOR ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Access to SWFLANT (Controlled, Limited, and Waterfront Area) will be controlled by the following means in addition to all requirements for entering SUBASE Kings Bay.
| 2.1.1 Controlled and Waterfront Restricted Area access requires that the Contractor be escorted at all times by the Contracting Officer or Designated Representative or an appointed representative hired by the Contracting Officer (i.e. SECURIGUARD) that possesses escort privilege for the specific area being accessed. The Contractor will have to fill out the appropriate paperwork and obtain a SWFLANT visitors escort badge before entering any SWFLANT area. See the security clerks located in the front main entrance of the Engineering Services Building (ESB, Bldg. No. 6005) to obtain badges. The Contracting Officer or appointed representative escorting the personnel will sign-off, authorizing the need for the badges. The SWFLANT SPK-50 Security Office will review and approve the request and badges will be issued. | ||
| For unescorted access, the contractor shall complete an SF85, Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions, with fingerprint cards for each individual requesting access to the SWFLANT Controlled Area or Waterfront Restricted Area. This package will hereafter be referred to as a Facility Access Determination (FAD). FAD paperwork can be obtained from and returned to the Contracting Officer to be processed. Unescorted access can be granted after the FAD package is submitted and shows “Open” in JPAS. FADs are required for jobs lasting greater than 90 days. For short term jobs (less than 90 days) FADs are not normally required due to the length of time it takes to complete the FAD process. If unescorted access is required for these jobs, or if there is a possibility for follow-on jobs, a FAD package may be completed. Once the FAD has been adjudicated “Favorably” the ability to escort may be granted. The ability to escort is generally reserved for supervisory personnel. | ||
| 2.1.2 Limited Area access will require that the contractor be escorted by personnel who have escort privileges within the SWFLANT Limited Area. Escorts must be employed by a Cleared Facility engaged in a related classified contract and possess a final granted Confidential (or greater) clearance. The contractor performing the work may not subcontract for escorts. A Non-Cleared Contractor (dictated by DD254 Facility Clearance) may NOT hire escorts for the SWFLANT Limited Area. If a Non-Cleared Contractor requires access to the SWFLANT Limited Area, it will be the responsibility of the Government to arrange the appropriate escorts. | ||
| 2.2 | Vehicle Passes Required to Enter SWFLANT Areas (i.e. Controlled Area, Waterfront Area and Limited Area): The Contractor will have to fill out the appropriate paperwork and obtain SWFLANT vehicle passes before entering any SWFLANT area. Vehicle Pass Request Forms can be obtained from the Contracting Officer or the security clerks located in the front main entrance of the Engineering Services Building (ESB, Bldg. No. 6005). Inform the security officers which building(s) you will need access to with your vehicle(s). The driver(s) of the vehicle(s) will fill out the appropriate vehicle pass request forms. The Contracting Officer will sign-off, authorizing the need for the passes. Submit Vehicle Pass Request Forms to the Contracting Officer a minimum of three (3) business days before arrival. The Contracting Officer will submit the Vehicle Request Forms to SWFLANT Security. The SWFLANT SPK-50 Security Office will review and approve the request and passes will be issued. Please have current registration, valid driver’s license, valid rental agreement, and proof of vehicle insurance information available when picking up vehicle passes from the security clerks located in the ESB. Personal vehicles will not be allowed in the SWFLANT areas, only vehicles (including rentals) that are registered under a reputable company name; keep the number of vehicles entering the SWFLANT areas to a minimum. |
