1.2. Prohibited Tasks

1.2.1. Personal Services and Inherently Governmental Functions Prohibitions. This contract provides for the delivery of construction phase support services defined in the following provisions of this PWS. In accordance with applicable law and regulation, the Government is strictly prohibited from entering into a contract that provides for the performance of personal services or inherently governmental functions. A prohibited personal services contract is one that involves personnel rendering services that are subject to, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. Prohibited inherently governmental functions are defined as activities that are so intimately related to the public interest as to mandate performance by Federal employees. This includes functions that require either the exercise of discretion in applying Federal Government authority or the making of value judgements in making decisions for the Federal Government. In the context of federal contracts, contractor employees are prohibited from performing, but are not limited to, documents defining requirements, incentive plans, and evaluation criteria.

Contractor employees shall refrain from performing personal services or inherently government functions during the performance of this contract. This shall include a duty to remain vigilant to avoid seeking out or accepting the relatively continuous Government supervision and control, that of which is typical between a supervisor and his/her supervisees. In addition, contractor employees shall not exercise final decision-making authority relating to the tasks defined in the PWS and shall refer a matter requiring an official decision to the COR. Contractor employees shall ensure that the matter is referred as quickly as the circumstances warrant to avoid an unreasonable disruption of the underlying inspector’s work.

In the event any inspector perceives in an inappropriate relationship or is being asked to perform an inherently governmental function the inspector employee will notify their Contract Manager who will then notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is the final decision authority on whether an inappropriate relationship or performance of an inherently governmental function exists and will take appropriate measures to remedy the situation.

3.23.7.1. Real ID Requirement. Beginning May 7, 2025, Davis Monthan Air Force Base will require all visitors seeking base access to possess a REAL ID in accordance with the REAL ID Act of 2005 and DoD Manual 5200.08 Vol 3, Physical Security Program: Access: to DoD Installations.

Federal installations, including Davis-Monthan AFB, will no longer accept non-marked state-issued identification cards after May 6, 2025. As mandated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), state-issued licenses and identification cards must include a REAL ID-compliant marking–star markings, “Enhanced” verbiage, etc.—indicating adherence to federal standards. Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDLs) issued by Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York and Vermont are also acceptable for federal purposes. Although most EDLs do not contain the REAL ID star marking, they meet DHS criteria for access.

Individuals issued a “LIMITED-TERM” REAL ID—commonly non-citizens with documentation such as a Permanent Resident Card, visa, or employment authorization—must present the same documentation when requesting access to DMAFB. Current Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) badges are not impacted by this change. However, new or replacement DBIDS badges will only be issued upon presentation of REAL ID-compliant credentials. When screening visitors for DBIDS Contractor Badges and EAL sponsorship visitation requests, it is the direct responsibility of the DoD-affiliated sponsor to verify that the personnel they are requesting badging or visitation for are REAL ID compliant.

For DBIDS contractors, Visitor Control Center badging personnel will confirm contractors’ REAL ID compliance when they come to receive their DBIDS badge. Security Forces personnel will verify visitors’ driver’s licenses and identification cards to ensure REAL ID compliance is met. Non-compliance will result in immediate denial to the installation until REAL ID compliance is met.

3.23.8. Contractor Personnel Travel on the Installation. All contractor personnel will limit their travel on the installation only to specific areas required for performance of services, specified break and meal areas, or travel directly to and from these locations.

3.23.8.1. Traffic Laws. Contractor employees shall comply with all base traffic regulations.

Contractor employees are subject to random vehicle speed control checks. Contractor personnel cited for speeding on the installation may suffer loss of base driving privileges, debarment from the base, or other administrative action. The use of seat belts is mandatory for all vehicle occupants. The use of cell phones is prohibited while driving on base, unless the phone is a handsfree cell phone.

3.23.8.2. Random Personnel and Vehicle Searches. Contractor personnel are subject to random personnel and vehicle searches. If contractor personnel refuse to be searched, they will be denied entry to the base, and may result in loss of base driving privileges, debarment from the base, or other administrative action.

3.23.9. Weapons, Firearms, and Ammunition. Contractor employees are prohibited from possessing weapons, firearms, or ammunition, on themselves or within their contractor owned vehicle or privately owned vehicle while on DMAFB.

3.23.10. For Official Use Only (FOUO). The contractor shall comply with DoD 5400.7-R, Chapter 4, DoD Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Program requirements. This regulation sets

Page | 11 policy and procedures for the disclosure of records to the public and for marking, handling, transmitting, and safeguarding FOUO material.

The contractor shall prohibit the use of lock combinations, issued by the Government, by any persons other than the contractor’s employees. The contractor shall also prohibit the opening of locked areas by contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than contractor employees engaged in performance of contract work requirements in those areas.

3.23.12. Key Control. The contractor shall establish and implement methods of making sure all keys/combinations issued to the contractor by the government are not lost or misplaced and are not used by unauthorized persons. The contractor shall not duplicate any keys issued by the Government. The contractor shall immediately report to the COR any occurrences of lost or duplicated keys. In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the contractor may be required, upon written direction of the Contracting Officer, to re-key or replace the affected lock or locks without cost to the Government. The Government may, however, at its option, replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying and deduct the cost of such from the monthly payment due the contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, the Government shall replace all locks and keys for that system, and the total cost will be deducted from the monthly payment due the contractor.

3.23.13. Protection of Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. PII may range from common data elements such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and places of employment, to identity documents, Social Security numbers (SSN) or other government-issued identity, precise location information, medical history, and biometrics.

The contractor shall protect all PII encountered in the performance of services in accordance with Department of Defense Directive 5400.11, Department of Defense Privacy Program, and DoD 5400.11-R, Department of Defense Privacy Program. If a PII breach results from the contractor's violation of the aforementioned policies, the contractor shall bear all notification costs, call-center support costs, and credit monitoring service costs for all individuals who's PII has been compromised.

3.23.14. Contractor Background Investigation (BI)

a. The contractor shall comply with the U.S. Air Force administrative, physical, and technical security controls to ensure the federal government's security requirements are met.

b. Contractors who need access to the base unclassified network or physical access to the installation will require a T1 background investigation & fingerprints with favorable results. All T1 background investigations/Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS)

Page | 12 applications for contractors will be processed by 355 CES/Security Manager. In accordance with AFI 16-1406_AFGM 2018_01 section 4.2.4 stated that:

i. “Require that contractor employees who need access to government information technology (IT) systems, or otherwise occupy billets designated as national security positions as defined in 5 CFR §1400, are determined to be trustworthy by the completion of a favorable personnel security investigation commensurate with assigned duties and adjudication by a designated government official prior to IT access being granted or assumption of sensitive duties. (T-0) Personnel security investigative requirements for access to information technology systems are based on the level of access/privileges granted to the user (IT Level I, II or III).

Privileged access is defined in DoD 8570.01-M, Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program, Appendix 1, Definitions, AP1.22. Privileged Access and AFMAN 17-1301, Computer Security, Paragraph 4.2. The government sponsor/security manager submits contractor personnel security investigations (i.e., contractors who do not need access to classified information) for logical access to Government information technology systems, assignment to sensitive duties, or physical access to federal installations.”

c. Contractors hired for work within the United States or its territories and possessions, and who require access to the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base owned or controlled facilities, information systems, security items, or products and/or sensitive but unclassified information shall be U.S. Citizens and shall live within the United States or its territories.

d. The contractor must run a preliminary criminal background check on candidates prior to being referred for Government Client. Only candidates who pass the preliminary criminal background check performed by the contractor will perform work under this PWS.

e. All contractors hired for work must pass a criminal background check, which will be performed by 355 FW/Information Protection (IP) prior to being allowed full access to government systems. Failure to pass a criminal background check or a thorough background investigation completed by the 355 FW/IP, is grounds for removal from working under this PWS.

f. The contractor shall submit within ten (10) working days after award of this contract, a list containing the full name, and date of birth of these candidates who have successfully passed the preliminary background investigation (BI). Failure of any Contractor personnel to pass a BI means that the contractor has failed to satisfy the requirement to provide cleared personnel.

g. The continuing failure to meet the requirement to provide cleared personnel is grounds for termination of the task order, unless cleared personnel are timely provided as replacements. The contractor must provide a qualified replacement capable of passing a BI for any person who fails to successfully pass a BI. This policy applies to any personnel hired as replacements.
