F-7 IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES FOR THE BASE ANTI-TERRORISM PROGRAM, NON MISSION ESSENTIAL SERVICES

1.0 Policy and Scope. Terrorism is criminal activity which can occur at anytime, anywhere, and involve any person or organization. Air Force policy is to protect, to the best of its ability, U.S. Air Force personnel, their dependents, facilities, and equipment from terrorist acts.

1.1 Concerned Individuals. This includes non-Air Force and contractor organizations and their personnel working on the installation at the time of a terrorist action, planned or actual.

1.2 Exercises. Based upon terrorist threat assessment guidelines, the chance of a terrorist organization committing an act of aggression on Vandenberg AFB is almost negligible. Nonetheless, there are no guarantees. We must be prepared. There is no better protection than prevention through training. Accordingly, the base anti-terrorism program will be periodically exercised (tested). Air Force and non-Air Force organizations will be expected to participate in these occasional exercises (tests). Contractor organizations, their subcontractors, and their employees who are working on Vandenberg AFB and providing services under contract which have not been specifically designated by the Government to be “essential contractor services” in support of “mission essential functions” in accordance with DFARS SUBPART 237.76 are not required to participate in these exercises but are requested, in the interests of informational awareness, to communicate to their employees the information contained in these implementing procedures.

2.0 Sources of Authority.

2.1 AFI 31-210, The Air Force Anti-terrorism (AT) Program, as supplemented by HQ AFSPC.

2.2 30 SW OPlan 31-101, Vandenberg AFB Installation Security Plan.

2.3 30 SWI 10-218, Installation Alert Notification/Recall Procedures.

3.0 General Information. The AF Anti-terrorism Program is an established DoD policy to protect DoD personnel, dependents, facilities and equipment from terrorist acts. At Vandenberg AFB this also includes non-Air Force and contractor organizations and their personnel working on the installation. It further seeks to deter or prohibit the success of terrorist acts against the USAF community through the collection and dissemination of timely threat information, informative awareness programs and implementation of sound defensive measures. These defensive measures are defined in four levels of force protection conditions (FPCONs). The four levels of FPCONs are ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE and DELTA.

3.1 FPCON Definitions.

3.1.1 ALPHA. A general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel and facilities exists, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable. Circumstances do not justify full implementation of FPCON BRAVO measures, but certain measures from higher FPCONs may be necessary based on intelligence reports, or as a deterrent. Installation commanders must be able to maintain this FPCON indefinitely.

3.1.2 BRAVO. An increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. Installation commanders must be able to maintain these FPCON measures for weeks without causing undue hardship, affecting operational capability, and aggravating relations with local authorities.

3.1.3 CHARLIE. An incident occurs, or intelligence is received that indicates imminent terrorist acts against personnel and facilities. These measures are intended to be short term; maintaining them for a long time will probably create hardship and affect the peacetime activities of the unit and its personnel.

3.1.4 DELTA. A terrorist attack occurred or intelligence indicates that terrorist action against a specific location or person is likely. Normally, this FPCON is a local condition.

3.2 FPCON Defense Measures. The terrorism FPCONs listed below describe progressive levels of terrorist threat to Vandenberg AFB and its assigned and attached personnel. Implementation of defensive security measures is a responsibility of the 30 SW/CC. Directors or Program Managers of contractor organization will implement the defense measures on a “best effort” basis. In other words, provide uninterrupted operations support. FPCON actions will be accomplished as a secondary initiative to mission accomplishment.

3.2.1 ALPHA

(a) Brief all building occupants

(b) Post 30 SW VA 207-3, FPCON warning (ALPHA)

(c) Secure unused buildings, rooms, and storage areas

(d) Make periodic checks of parking areas for unknown or suspicious vehicles

(e) Identify all unknown or suspicious persons in facilities and work areas

(f) Check all work areas at the beginning and end of each work day

3.2.2 BRAVO.

(a) Continue all actions required by FPCON ALPHA

(b) Post 30 SW VA 207-4, FPCON warning (BRAVO)

(c) Move vehicles and objects such as crates, trash containers at least 25 meters (82 feet) from buildings and critical resources, especially those of a sensitive nature.

(d) Remind drivers to lock parked vehicles, POV and GOV, and check vehicles prior to operation.

(e) Where feasible, check at least 50% of all hand-carried items by visitors (briefcases, boxes, etc.) brought into buildings or critical resources.

3.2.3 CHARLIE.

(a) Continue all actions required by FPCONs ALPHA and BRAVO

(b) Post 30 SW VA 207-5 FPCON warning (CHARLIE)

(c) Limit entry points to buildings and facilities to the absolute minimum

(d) Search all hand-carried items brought into facilities and buildings

(e) Deny entry of vehicles to parking lots in or around mission critical resources

3.2.4 DELTA.

(a) Continue all actions required by the previous FPCONs

(b) Post 30 SW VA 207-6, FPCON warning (DELTA)

(c) Identify all vehicles-within operational or mission critical support areas

(d) Make frequent checks of the exterior of buildings and parking area

(e) Minimize all administrative journeys and visits

Section I - Contract Clauses

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN—CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (MAY 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is--

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4) such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

Component means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

Construction material means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Domestic construction material means--

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if--

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison

Construction material description Unit of measure Quantity Price (dollars) \1\

Item 1
