The Contractor shall comply with directions provided by the Contracting Officer (CO) regarding all security requirements. All contract employees shall receive a favorable suitability determination, security clearance, and/or meet all security requirements, prior to reporting to work or performing work under this contract. Employees that can not obtain a favorable security determination, security clearance, or meet security requirements, will not be allowed to work in the Government building.

The Government has full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating clearances for employees. The Government may authorize and grant temporary clearance to employees of the Contractor.

The granting of either temporary or full clearance shall not prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such clearance by the Government.

2. Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12

A. HSPD-12 is the “Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors” (the Directive) and became effective August 27, 2004. The Directive requires all Federal governmental departments and agencies to conduct background investigations and adjudicate the results (HSPD-12 compliant suitability determinations) for all contract employees requiring routine unescorted access to Federally-controlled facilities and/or information systems for more than 6 months before identification cards will be issued.

Contract employees working less than 6 months will be considered “temporary” and all facility access control procedures will apply. GSA may require low risk suitability determinations for “temporary” contract employees, or has the option of clearing “temporary” contractors with an HSPD-12 compliant suitability determination. “Temporary” contract employees that are not required to receive a favorable suitability determination shall be escorted at all times while in non-public space; limited to access within 1-15 calendar days.

The Contractor shall comply with guidance concerning implementation of this Directive as provided herein and by the Contracting Officer (CO).

B. The Government may, as it deems appropriate, authorize and grant limited suitability determinations to employees of the Contractor, limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days and consists of a NAC security check only. However, the granting of a temporary suitability determination to any such employee shall not be considered as assurance that a favorable suitability determination will follow as a result or condition thereof and the granting of either temporary or full determination shall in no way prevent, preclude or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such determination by the Government.

C. Depending on the contract and work, a full Notice-to Proceed shall be issued after the initial favorable preliminary suitable clearance process is completed for those required to work on the contract OR partial Notice-To-Proceed shall be issued as the favorable preliminary suitable clearance process is completed for phases of work under the contract in or on the Federally-controlled facility. Contract workers may be added throughout the performance period required by the contract, but must complete the clearance process prior to working in or on the Federally-controlled facility.

3. Personal Verification of Contractor Personnel

The Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification procedures that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) as required by the clause of this contract FAR 52.204-9 and all other security and clearance requirements provided herein and by the Contracting Officer (CO).

4. GSAM 552.237-71 Qualifications of Employees (May 1989)

The Contracting Officer or a designated representative may require the Contractor to remove any employee(s) from GSA controlled buildings or other real property should it be determined that the individual(s) is either unsuitable for security reasons or otherwise unfit to work on GSA controlled property.

The Contractor shall require each of his employees on the contract work to complete for submission to the Government, such forms, as may be necessary for security or other reasons.

Each employee of the Contractor shall be a citizen of the United States of America, or an alien who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence as evidenced by Alien Registration Receipt Card, Form I-151.

6. General Description of the Clearance Process

A. Name Check and Fingerprint Check

Upon receipt of the sealed envelope containing the required forms, the Government will forward each clearance package to the clearance processing office for initial processing. A preliminary review will be conducted of various national criminal and security data files. If these checks are favorable the Contractor employee may be granted limited access to Federally-controlled facilities and Federal information systems with a preliminary favorable suitability determination. This process takes approximately 3 to 10 business days but could take longer.

For Contractor employees who receive a favorable preliminary check as described above, and depending on the location and type of work to be performed, a more detailed agency check may also be initiated. The check may include record searches with selected sources covering specific areas of the employee’s background, and written inquiries covering specific areas of the employee’s background.

B. Issuance of Identification Credential

Upon receipt of favorable suitability determination, each contract employee may be issued a 5-year identification credential in accordance with the federally-controlled facility procedures and, if applicable, be granted access to those Federal information systems necessary to accomplish the contract. A temporary ID may be issued after a preliminary favorable suitability determination. The Contractor shall ensure that all contract employees display their credentials in accordance with facility procedures. The Contractor shall also ensure that such credentials are returned to the government as contract employees are dismissed, terminated, or upon expiration of the contract. The Contractor will be assessed a fee for each identification credential that is lost or otherwise not returned.

C. Unsuitable Employees

If the Government receives an unsuitable report on any prospective Contractor employee, or if the Government finds a prospective Contractor employee to be otherwise unsuitable or unfit for his assigned duties, the Contractor shall be advised immediately by the CO that such employee will not be allowed to work under this contract. The Contractor must then take action immediately to relieve the employee of all duties and responsibilities related to this contract and return his Identification Credentials, if such credentials were issued. The Contractor will not be compensated for such actions. Unsuitable contract employees will be escorted off Federal property by DHS/FPS or other law enforcement entities depending on the reason for the unsuitable determination.

· Unfavorable – The prospective contractor is determined to be unsuitable to perform work in the building. This determination is frequently based upon an incongruity between the forms submitted by the contractor and the law enforcement checks. The contractor may appeal this decision within 30 days. All appeals on an Unfavorable determination are handled by HQ DHS/FPS, Washington, DC.

D. Site-Specific Requirements

Specific federally-controlled facilities or those areas located within a given facility may have additional security clearance requirements in addition to those cited above. These will be specified by the Government through the CO or designated representative.

E. Long Term Prior Clearances and the Re-Clearance Process

All contract employees are required to be cleared every 5 years and favorable contract employee background investigations are good for 5 years. If anytime during a 5 year period, a cleared contract employee is to work on a different contract than they were previously cleared to work on, then the original clearance notices must be submitted by the CO or his representative to DHS/FPS to update contract and clearance information. During the 5 year period, unless specifically requested to do so by the CO or designated representative, no further forms or information will be required from the Contractor. However, if threat levels or security conditions change during the cleared period, access and clearance requirements may change with limited advanced notice which may require previously cleared Contractor employees to have clearances updated, renewed, or reprocessed.

Note: Contract performance period exceeds the five year clearance threshold and therefore, the contractor would be required to resubmit security clearances per HSPD-12 requirements in time for adequate suitability determination, since extensions are not allowed.

7. Tenant Agency Security Requirements

The Contractor shall comply with all GSA security requirements herein and also those of tenant agencies in the building where work is being performed (agency space) which must be accessed in the performance of work. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating with tenant agencies and providing all information required of him/her or his/her employees for performance of work in, or around, the agency’s space. All tenant security requirements must be met, or employees cleared by the agency, prior to the Contractor performing work in, or around, the agency’s space. Employees that do not meet security requirements or clearance requirements will not be allowed to work in, or around, the tenant agency space. Certain agencies will require that employees be escorted and/or that work only be performed during normal duty hours of the tenant agency.

When a controlled personnel identification system is used by a tenant agency at a site where work is performed, the tenant agency will provide the identification. Each employee of the Contractor must have in his/her possession while on the premises the identification issued by the Government agency. The identification shall be displayed at all times or as required by the agency. The Contractor shall insure that all Government identifications are returned to the issuing agency when employees are terminated or upon expiration of the contract.

Identification Credential A. Upon receipt of favorable suitability determination as indicated herein, each employee of the Contractor may be issued an identification credential. At all times while working on the contract a Contract employee, including subcontractor employees, must have in his/her possession the specific Government identification credential if issued to them by the Government. The identification credential shall be displayed and be visible at all times while on Government property. The COTR, GSA personnel designated by him/her, Government law enforcement, or security personnel shall periodically verify Contractor employees with their personnel identification. Contractor employees shall comply with security verification procedures at all times.

B.

As required by the Government, the Contractor shall make his employees available for photo identification credentials, on a schedule to be worked out with the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The Government may provide identification credentials after a favorable security determination has been received for the Contractor’s employees. Each identification credential shall have an expiration date and Contractor employees shall sign at the time of receipt of each credential at the time of issuance.

C. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all identification credentials are returned to the Contracting Officer's Representative as his employees leave the contract (contract is completed, employees leave employment of the company, employees are dismissed or terminated). The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative if/when employee credentials are lost.

D. The Contractor will be responsible for paying the Government for replacement credentials at the current cost per identification credential.

Escort Requirements It may be necessary to escort temporary contract employees, maximum of 15 calendar days that do not have favorable preliminary or final suitability determinations and must work in Federally-controlled space. In those cases, ALL un-cleared contract employees must be escorted in non-public space by a Government employee or another responsible cleared contract employee that is approved by the Contracting Officer or his/her designee. Other Government agencies may have specific agency security requirements for their own space that may only allow escort by Government employees or those designated by their agency. Government employees or approved cleared contract employees that provide escorts for un-cleared contract employees must always be in close proximity and eyesight of the un-cleared contract employee. The contract escort must watch un-cleared employees and remain with un-cleared contract employees for the entire time they are in the building and/or Federally-controlled space. An un-cleared employee can not be left alone or out of eyesight at anytime they are in non-public space. A cleared and approved escort may not bring several un-cleared contract employees, into Federally-controlled space, that are not within close proximity or eyesight at all times. A cleared and approved escort may not have multiple un-cleared employees in non-public space on different parts of one floor or different floors at the same time. Any security violation of escort requirements by a cleared and approved contract employee will result in immediate removal from the contract of all contract employees involved, i.e., escorts and un-cleared escorted contract employees. Also, violations of escort requirements by contract employees in accordance with security requirements may be grounds for termination of the contract.

Standards of Conduct The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, appearance, and integrity and shall be responsible for taking such disciplinary action with respect to his employees as may be necessary. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that his employees do not disturb papers on desks, open desk drawers or cabinets, or use Government telephones, except as authorized. Each employee is expected to adhere to standards of behavior that reflect favorably on his/her employer, and the Federal Government. No smoking is allowed in the building.

Removal from Contract Work Under the following conditions, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative may request the Contractor to immediately remove any employee(s) from the work site. When the Government determines such employee to be: incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable or otherwise objectionable; or whose continued employment the Government deems contrary to the public interest, inconsistent with the best interests of security, or is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well being or operational mission of the facility and its population.

The Contracting Officer may also request the Contractor to immediately remove any employee(s) from the work site(s) should it be determined that individuals are being assigned to duty who have been disqualified for either suitability or security reasons, or who are found to be unfit for performing duties during their tour(s) of duty.

Contractor employees who are removed from contract work shall be required to leave the work site immediately.

When a Contracting Officer is not available, either during the day or after hours, or in situations where a delay would not be in the best interest of the Government or is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well being or operational mission of the facility and its population, the Contracting Officer’s Representative will have the authority to immediately remove the contract employee from the work site.

Law enforcement officers of the DHS/ICE/Federal Protective Service will have the authority to immediately remove any contract employee from the work site who is found to be in violation of any of the items mentioned above and where a delay in removal would not be in the best interest of the Government, security, or is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well being or operational mission of the facility and its population.
