ATF-04 BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION (BI) REQUIREMENTS

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS (Revised December 13, 2012)

May 2010

Personnel Security Requirements

The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all Contractor employees assigned hereunder shall undergo a background invest-igation or other applicable personnel security procedures to determine their suitability for access to ATF information, information technology systems, and/or facilities. For the purpose of this contract, the term background investigation will be utilized to also refer-ence other personnel security procedures that may be applied in lieu of a full background investigation.

The background investigation will be conducted by or under the auspices of the Personnel Security Branch, Office of Professional Re-sponsibility and Security Operations, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). It is the responsibility of the Con-tractor to provide the necessary personnel suitability and security package in a timely manner, through the assigned Contracting Of-ficer’s Representative (COR), to ATF’s Personnel Security Branch (PSB) so that a background investigation can be conducted.

The Contractor shall screen and review each potential Contractor employee and ensure that each potential Contractor employee to be assigned to this contract possess a personal history that is in compliance with Department of Justice (DOJ) and ATF agency specific qualifications and will permit each employee to successfully pass a background investigation conducted by the ATF. The Contractor shall not submit a personnel suitability and security package to the COR until the Contractor has screened the following aspects of each potential Contractor employee’s personal history:

2. Financial responsibility

3. Drug use

4. Employment history

5. Employment eligibility

Prior to submitting a personnel suitability and security package, the Contractor shall utilize E-Verify to verify the employment eligib-ility of all Contractor employees, regardless of citizenship status. The Contractor will not submit a personnel suitability and security package when employment eligibility cannot be verified. The Contractor can register for E-Verify on-line at ht-tps://www.vis-dhs.com/employerregistration/.

(2) Allied Nations List. Contractor employees that only require access to ATF facilities must be United States citizens or foreign nationals legally permitted to reside in the United States. Their country of citizenship must be listed on the Allied Nations list pub-lished by the Department of State, Office of the Assistant Legal Advisor for Treaty Affairs. Since countries on this list are subject to change, refer to the following website for current information: http://www.state.gov/s/l/treaty/collectivedefense/.

(3) Drug Policy. ATF Drug Policy for ATF Applicants, is applied. The PSB ensures that ATF Contractor employees are compli-ant with the policy prior to authorizing access to ATF information, information technology systems, and/or facilities.

(5) Financial Responsibilities. The PSB ensures compliance with DOJ guidance surrounding financial obligations.

(a) Public Trust Positions - All financial obligations imposed by law must be favorably resolved through proof of payment and/or participation in a payment plan. For all other debt-related issues a risk management decision may be made in lieu of requiring pay-ment or a payment plan.

(b) National Security Positions – All delinquent financial obligations, even those not imposed by law, must be favorably resolved through proof of payment, and/or participation in a payment plan, or otherwise resolved.

(6) Foreign Nationals Accessing Information Technology Systems. DOJ Order 2640.2F Information Technology Security, states non-U.S. citizens shall not be authorized to access or assist in the development, operation, management or maintenance of Department IT systems.

Contractor employees must personally present two forms of identification in original form prior to access-ing ATF information, information technology systems, and/or facilities. At least one document must be a valid State or Federal gov-ernment-issued picture ID.

In the event a contract employee is found to be non-compliant with the agency specific qualifications, PSB will notify the COR and the CO. The request for investigation will be terminated and the contractor may be requested to submit another name and complete personnel suitability and security package. Additional agency specific qualifications may be implemented without notice to the Con-tractor.

Denial or Disapproval of Access to ATF Information, Information Technology Systems, and/or Facilities

The contractor may be requested to submit another name and complete personnel suitability and security package.

DJA-14-AHDQ-Q-0043 Page 7 of 22

Freedom of Information Act Requests

The request must be addressed to the Disclosure Division, Bureau of Al-cohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 99 New York Avenue, NE, Suite 1E-400, Washington, DC 20226. It is the responsibility of the Contractor employee to assume all monetary liabilities associated with such request.

Police Check Inquiries

In those instances where the Contractor believes that its employees will not need unescorted access to ATF facilities, or access to any ATF proprietary information, data or information technology systems, the Contractor shall notify the COR. The COR will then ap-prise ATF’s PSB of the Contractor’s initial determination, citing the reasons thereof. The PSB, in consultation with the COR or the CO, will make the final determination as to whether or not the Contractor employee will need to undergo a background investigation.

The nature and specific degree of background investigation will be determined by the PSB, depending upon the nature and degree of risk associated with the contract position. When ATF’s PSB determines that the Contractor will require escorted access to ATF facil-ities, and/or ATF construction sites, or will only be provided with access to ATF non-sensitive information, the Contractor employee must undergo a criminal history check. The Physical Security Programs Branch or the respective field division/office is responsible for conducting the criminal history check and making the favorable or unfavorable determination.

Access to Classified National Security Information

In the event the Contractor employee requires access to classified National Security Information (NSI), in order to fulfill contractual requirements, the COR or the CO must contact the PSB. The PSB will assess the requirements and make a determination if access to NSI is required at the Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret level (which may or may not include access to Sensitive Compartmented In-formation. If the PSB determines that access to NSI is required, the contract must be modified to incorporate the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). The PSB will provide additional personnel security language to the CO and coordinate all additional personnel security requirements of the NISP with the COR.
