8.2 Clearance Requirements for Personnel Access

Upon the award of a contract, appropriate contractor individuals will be processed as directed by FBI policies and procedures.

The FBI's CJIS Division requires that access approval and/or security clearance be granted by the FBI

Security Programs Manager (SPM) to all non-FBI and contractor personnel who will have access to:

National Security Information; Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) information; FBI personnel; FBI facilities and/or FBI equipment. The determination of the level of security clearance (Top Secret or Secret) and access level (escorted or unescorted) required are made by the FBI's SPM. The scope of the FBI security clearance background investigation to be conducted is determined by the level of clearance sought.

Contractors should be advised that:

▪ Decisions concerning granting of access to FBI assets are made on a case-by-case basis and access/clearance will be granted only where such access is clearly consistent with the mission and responsibilities of the FBI. If for any reason an individual is denied access/clearance by the

FBI, the FBI will not disclose the reason for denial and will only make such disclosure to the affected party pursuant to the provisions of the Freedom of Information or Privacy Act. The FBI will not be liable for any expense in the replacement of a denied individual, or any costs incurred by the contractor as a result of such denial.

▪ The Department of Justice (DOJ)/FBI does not permit the use of non-U.S. citizens in the performance of this contract or commitment for any position that involves access to or development of any DOJ Information Technology (IT) system. By signing this contract or commitment document, the contractor agrees to this restriction.

▪ Individuals shall have, for three (3) of the five (5) years immediately prior to working on this effort: (1) resided in the United States; (2) worked for the United States overseas in a federal or military capacity; or (3) be a dependent of a federal or military employee serving overseas.

▪ Individuals with criminal histories, such as arrest records, may be denied access; illegal and/or undocumented aliens will be excluded, and their identities may be referred to other cognizant law enforcement agencies for appropriate action.

▪ Individuals will be interviewed by the FBI (or FBI contract investigators) regarding foreign travel, associates, residences, or other matter of concern to the FBI in deciding whether to grant access to its information, facilities, or property. Individuals may be requested to undergo a polygraph examination to fully resolve any security concerns. Refusal or failure to accurately complete the forms, to be interviewed, or to undergo a polygraph examination will be deemed reasonable cause for denial of access/clearance to FBI information, facilities, or property.

▪ The FBI reserves the right to reinvestigate contract employees on a periodic basis, or where facts or information dictates that continued access may no longer be clearly consistent with the

FBI's mission and responsibilities.

▪ When authorized for site access, contractors shall report the following information to the CJIS

Security Access Office: Foreign Travel (thirty days prior to departure); change in marital status;

change in status of room/house mates; employment outside of the contracting agency; Court cases involving: divorce, bankruptcy, moving traffic violations (more than $150), criminal arrests, civil proceedings, tax matters, and failure to honor legitimate debts.

▪ Regardless of a contractor's clearance and access level, the FBI reserves the right to provide an

FBI escort, knowledgeable in the tasking area, in situations where contracted services may affect the integrity of existing protection measures (i.e., IT system maintenance activities).

▪ The FBI reserves the right to revoke any contract employee's access to its facilities or property where such access is no longer clearly consistent with the FBI's missions and responsibilities.

The contractor agrees to immediately remove that individual from the FBI facility in such circumstances.

▪ Access to national security information will be granted only to employees who are United States citizens for whom an appropriate investigation has been completed and whose personal and professional history affirmatively indicates loyalty to the United States, strength of character, trustworthiness, honesty, reliability, discretion, and sound good judgement, as well as freedom from conflicting allegiances and potential for coercion, and willingness and ability to abide by regulations governing the use, handling, and protection of national security information.

▪ A determination of eligibility for access to such information is a discretionary security decision based on judgments by appropriately trained adjudicated personnel. Eligibility will be granted only where facts and circumstances indicate access to national security information is clearly consistent with the national security interests of the United States, and any doubt will be resolved in favor of the national security.

▪ In determining eligibility for access, agencies may investigate and consider any matter that relates to the determination of whether access is clearly consistent with the interests of national security. This includes random controlled substance testing and, in the future, may include polygraph examinations if dictated by FBI or DOJ security policy directives. Failure of any part in the background investigation or periodic review will result in further evaluation and any doubt will be resolved in favor of the national security.

▪ At the discretion of the FBI COR, contractor personnel not upholding the FBI standards of conduct, or if creating conflicts with the FBI's interests, shall be removed from all activities on this effort.

▪ The FBI will maintain a listing of contract employees who have been authorized access/clearance. The contractor must provide personnel from this list to perform the requested services.
