A separate agreement is required to be executed by each subcontractor at any tier. Typical agreement in full text is included here:

VISITOR GROUP SECURITY AGREEMENT

1. Contractual Agreement: This agreement, promulgated by Air Force Instruction 31-601, Industrial Security Program Management, Para 1.6.1.2, is entered into by the Installation Commander, Grand Forks Air Force Base, and (Company name) (hereafter referred to as visitor group). This agreement prescribes the specific actions to be taken by the visitor group’s employees and the Department of the Air Force (DAF) involved in the on-base contract performance at the visitor groups, on-base operating location, Grand Forks AFB. Responsibilities are delineated as follows:

NOTE: As used in this agreement, the terminology visitor group, contractor, company, and home office facility (HOF) are synonymous. Furthermore, the verbiage Air Force (AF) activity, unit, program/ project manager, Servicing Security Activity (SSA), etc., refers to entities representing the DAF in their appropriate and respective capacity.

a. Visitor Group Security Supervision. Under the terms of this agreement, the visitor group will operate per Air Force Instruction 31-601, Industrial Security Program Management and supplements thereto, as well as applicable unit security program operating instructions (OIs), plans and/or procedures of GFAFB. The installation SSA is 319 SFS and is responsible for providing security program oversight. The AF activity is the 319 ARW organization that is sponsoring the contract.

(1) The visitor group’s home office facility (HOF) will identify (in writing) to the SSA and the AF activity, an on-base employee to interface with and serve as the visitor group’s focal point for security related matters. Under the terms of this agreement, the identified employee per this paragraph will provide appropriate security program management assistance to the SSA and AF activity.

(2) All parties, the AF activity, contracting office (sponsor), visitor group, and SSA will perform duties specified by this agreement in a timely manner.

b. Standard Practice Procedures (SPP): Compliance with this agreement eliminates standard practice procedures publication requirement. The visitor group will use and comply with the AF activity’s unit security program operating instructions OIs, procedures, and/or requirements, per this agreement, and other applicable DOD or AF directives. This provision of the agreement is not intended, nor does it interfere with the visitor group’s internal management policies, procedures, or requirements unless stated otherwise.

c. Personnel Security Screening. Visitor group employees will be subject to security screening and a background investigation. The AF activity serves as sponsor for all visits by visitor group representatives.

(1) The visitor group’s HOF will identify on-base employees/representatives to the AF activity and the SSA in writing. Contractors will make a good faith effort to confirm identity and citizenship/legal immigration status of employees. This submission will serve as an Entry Authority List (EAL, see attachment 1 for format) for visitor group employees. The EAL will be forwarded to and be retained by the SSA. The EAL will contain: full name, SSN or INS-A number, contract number, citizenship or immigrant status verification, and driving privilege status. The EAL provided to the SSA will be verified/authenticated with original signature by the company’s site superintendent or security representative.

(2) Changes in visitor group employees will require amendments to the EAL. Deletions can be annotated on the EAL on file with the SSA. Additions will require a new

EAL with original signature.

(3) The Air Force industrial security program mgr/SSA will conduct an individual background investigation of contractor employees. Visitor group employees will complete an individual questionnaire, provide finger prints, and complete other required actions IAW applicable GFAFB security instructions prior to being issued access authorization.

(4) Unfavorable information will be adjudicated IAW DoD 5200.2 R Appendix I.

Employers will be notified of individuals who are not authorized to work on the installation and their associated disqualifying information; these individuals must be escorted off the base immediately. Employees denied access have a right to appeal under some circumstances IAW DoD 5200.2 R. The government may impose a penalty, fine or both on the employer for non-compliance and/or violations to include a “no entry” and “automatic” base debarment process. For all instances of perjury or falsification, penalties are without appeal provision. All delays for personal security clearances will be at the expense of the prime contractor; the contractor will not impose any liability for time lost on the contract to the US government.

d. Acceptable Proof of U.S. Citizenship or Immigrant Status and Identity for EAL. (Verified by Employer/Contractor)

(1) For individuals born in the United States, a valid birth certificate is the primary and preferred means of citizenship verification. Acceptable certificates must show that the birth record was filed shortly after birth and it must be certified with the registrar’s signature. It must bear the raised, impressed, or multicolored seal of the registrar’s office. The only exception is if a state or other jurisdiction does not issue such seals as a matter of policy. Uncertified copies of birth certificates are not acceptable. A delayed birth certificate is one created when a record was filed more than one year after the date of birth. Such a certificate is acceptable if it shows that the report of birth was supported by acceptable secondary evidence of birth. Secondary evidence may include: baptismal or circumcision certificates, hospital birth records, or affidavits of persons having personal knowledge about the facts of birth. Other documentary evidence can be early census, school, or family bible records, newspaper files, or insurance papers. All documents submitted as evidence of birth in the US shall be original or certified documents.

Entry credentials are issued at the request of the AF activity. Request for badge issuance must be supported by a current EAL.

g. Contractor Local Area Badges. When required for contract performance locally developed installation badges AF Fm 1199CD will be issued to visitor group personnel for entry into designated areas. Entry credentials are issued at the request of the AF activity.

h. Security Checks. Visitor group personnel will be scheduled to perform end-of-day security checks within their assigned work areas in accordance with AFI 31-101, The Air Force Installation Security Program, or the AF activity’s security program OI.

i. Protection of Government Resources. The visitor group will comply with AFI 31-101, and other security and safety OIs of the AF activity.

j. Clarification of Security Requirements. The visitor group will address inquiries or questions pertaining to the provisions of DOD 5200.2-R, 31-101, and AFI 31-601 to the SSA.

k. Foreign Involvement: Under the terms of this agreement, the visitor group is required to notify the AF activity and contracting office prior to any foreign involvement, regardless of access requirements or the sensitivity of information to be disclosed (classified or unclassified).

(2) Sub-contracts. A VGSA shall be initiated whenever the HOF or on-base visitor group enters into a sub-contract arrangement with another contractor for Grand

Forks AFB. This VGSA must address the sub-contractor operation separately. It will be the responsibility of the prime contractor to ensure all sub-contactors are meeting the VGSA criteria. The AF activity, visitor group, or its HOF as applicable, and all sub-contractors must sign the agreement.

(3) Notification. Notify the SSA 30 days prior to contract completion or shutdown on

Grand Forks AFB in order to review contractor’s operations to ensure proper procedures per AFI 31-101, AFI 31-601, and this security agreement.

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN ACT—CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (JAN 2005)

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

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; or

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

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 the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic construction material. 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 the construction material or components listed by the Government as follows: None

(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 Act 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 Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

(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\
