Attachment 1 to Amendment 0001

H. SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1. SECURITY

The General Contractor and the designated Contractor Suitability Clearance Point of Contact (CSC POC) shall comply with all security requirements and directions provided by the GSA OMA Boston Office. All contractor employees who receive a favorable suitability determination, security clearance, and/or meet all security requirements, as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive -12 (HSPD-12) prior to reporting to work or performing work under this contract. Contractor employees that cannot obtain a favorable security determination, security clearance, or meet security requirements, will not be permitted to work on GSA contracts or in GSA controlled facilities

If the GSA Contracting Officer (CO), Contracting Officers Technical Representative (COTR) Project Manager (PM) or CSC POC receives an unfavorable or unsuitable report on any employee, or if a prospective employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his/her assigned duties, the GSA OMA Boston Office will immediately advise the CSC POC that such employee will not be allowed to work or be assigned to work under the contract.

The Government has full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating clearances for all contractor employees. A temporary contractor is a non-federal employee performing only project work on Federal premises on a non-recurring, or intermittent basis from 1 calendar day up to 180 calendar days. These individuals must receive a Special Agreement Check (SAC) Favorable Suitability Determination. However, the granting of a temporary clearance shall not be considered, as assurance that National Agency Check with written Inquiries (NACI) Long-Term Suitability Adjudication will follow. The granting of either temporary (SAC) or long term (NACI) adjudication shall not prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such clearance by the Government.

For FY 2015, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is implementing the Federal Investigative Standards (FIS) according to the phased Federal Investigative Standards Implementation Plan issued by the Suitability and Security Executive Agents. Consistent with the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) requirements of the FIS Implementation Plan, OPM is conducting Tier 1 investigations in lieu of the former National Agency Check and Inquiries (NACI) (SF 85) product and Tier 2 investigations in lieu of the former Moderate Risk Background Investigation (MBI) (SF 85P).

During this transition, the terms NACI and Tier 1 Investigation are interchangeable.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive (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 consideration can be made for the issuance of identification cards.

H.1.1 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION PROCEDURES (NON-

CLASSIFIED CONTRACT)

FAR 52.204-9 PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL (SEPT 2007)

The Contractor shall comply with Agency personal identity verification procedures identified in the Contract that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance M-05-24 and Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) Number 201.

The Contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is required to have routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility and/or routine access to a Federally-controlled information system.

Temporary Contractor. A non-federal employee performing only project work on Federal premises on a non-recurring, or intermittent basis from 1 to 180 calendar days. These individuals must receive a Special Agreement Check (SAC) resulting in a Favorable Determination.

The process is as follows:

The GSA Office of Mission Assurance (OMA) Boston provides the following information to the CSC POC:

GSA Contractor Information Worksheet (CIW) with sections 2 through 5 completed.

OF 306 Declaration for Federal Employment

The CSC POC, working with the applicant, ensures completion of the CIW and OF-306 for transmission electronically to R1HSPD12.Security@GSA.GOV.

The CSC POC will send the CIW with Section 1 completed entirely to the R1HSPD12.Security@gsa.gov in a password protected file. Multiple files can be included in one email in the format: Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial and last 4 of the Social Security Number (i.e. Smith, John E. 5077). A second email containing the password must follow.

Questions 1-13 of the OF 306, and if applicable, Question 16 for continuation purposes. Original signature and date of the applicant are required on page 2, Question 17a. Except where a signature is required, all fields are to be typed.

The CSC POC will then submit the form as an attachment in an e-mail following the process in paragraph 3 above.

The following requirements apply to U.S. Citizens born in a foreign country, foreign born citizens and dual citizenship holders and is required in addition to the above documentation.

If the applicant is a U.S. Citizen and was born in a foreign country, they must submit either a copy of the front page of their U.S. Passport or a copy of their U.S. Citizenship Naturalization Document.

If the applicant is a foreign born citizen and is now a U.S. Naturalized Citizen, they must submit a copy of their U.S.

Citizenship Naturalization Document.

If the applicant is a foreign born citizen and resides in the U.S., they must submit a copy of their USCIS Alien Registration Document.

Upon receipt of a completed Contractor Information Worksheet (CIW), OMA Boston Office will input data into GCIMS and mark the individual as Applicant.

CIW data being entered in GCIMS enrolls the individual in USAccess where the individual will be able to schedule an appointment for fingerprinting at one of over 200 enrollment stations nationwide, http://www.fedidcard.gov/centerlist.aspx. Fingerprint submissions are to be completed electronically utilizing OPM’s Fingerprint Transaction System (FTS). Submission of electronic fingerprints through FTS improves efficiency, timeliness of results, and quality of the print. OPM will only accept Standard Form 87 (SF-87) fingerprint charts from those applicants residing greater than 100 miles (one way) from the nearest enrollment station. The SF 87 has been revised to support billing requirements of the Department of the Treasury and OPM processing enhancements.

Modifications to the SF 87 include the addition of four fields:

Submitting Office Number (SON) Security Office Identifier (SOl) Intra-Governmental Payment, Collection Code (IPAC)

Miscellaneous Identification Number (MNU)

OPM converts the SF 87 to an image and electronically transmits the image to the Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI).

GSA OMA Boston Office may accept faxed documents on a case-by-case basis. Due to Privacy Act Regulations you must contact the OMA office and request the fax number. Except where a signature is required, all fields are to be typed. Hand-written forms will not be accepted.

OMA Boston does NOT make adjudication or suitability determinations, only ensures the appropriate parties are aware of what documentation is required.

The OPM Contractor Investigation Team shall complete the SAC suitability determination as required under the GSA, OPM MOU. Upon completion of the investigation, OPM electronically forwards the results of the suitability determination to the OMA Boston Office. Suitability Determinations may be either:

Favorable. The applicant is determined to be suitable to perform work in the building for up to 180 calendar days.

Unfavorable. The applicant is determined to be unsuitable to perform work in the building. This determination is frequently based upon an inconsistency between the forms submitted by the applicant and the law enforcement checks.

The GSA OMA Boston Office then emails the CO, COTR, and the CSC POC the results of the suitability determination. Applicants may not begin work on-site prior to a Favorable Suitability Determination. An Unfavorable Suitability Determination is final.

If work is to be performed after building operating hours, the GSA OMA Boston Office must provide the local DHS/FPS Official the following information in writing:

Building name and location of work (i.e. room number, floor and agency) Name and address of Contractor Company Last, First and Middle name of all Temporary Contractor(s) Dates and times of activity.

Long Term Contractor - U.S. or Naturalized Citizen or Non-U.S. Citizen legally residing in U.S. A non-federal employee performing work on Federal premises on a recurring basis for 181 calendar days or more (mechanical, janitorial, elevator, IDIQ construction contractor and cafeteria worker). These individuals must receive a National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI)/Tier 1 Investigation Favorable Suitability Determination. Applicants may not begin work on-site prior to a Favorable Suitability Determination.

In order to be eligible for a NACI/Tier 1 Investigation determination, the employee must have been residing in the U.S. for 3 or more consecutive years. If U.S. residency has been less than three years, the employee will be processed as a temporary contractor.

The NACI/Tier 1 Investigation process is as follows:

The GSA OMA Boston Office provides the following to the CSC POC:

Contractor Information Worksheet (CIW) with sections 2 through 5 completed.

The CSC POC, working with the applicant, ensures completion of the CIW and returns the completed encrypted (password protected) form electronically to R1HSPD12.Security@GSA.GOV.

The CSC POC will send the CIW with Section 1 completed entirely to the R1HSPD12.Security@gsa.gov in a password protected file. Multiple files can be included in one email in the format: Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial and last 4 of the Social Security Number (i.e. Smith, John E. 5077). A second email containing the password must follow.

Entry of the CIW data into GCIMS by OMA Boston automatically initiates the background investigation process.

GCIMS will automatically feed the CIW information to OPM.

3. OPM shall:

OPM staff will verify the necessity of an investigation.

Initiate and invite the applicant to complete the SF-85, via E-QIP. The applicant and CSC POC will be notified via e-mail sent to their e-mail address contained in Section 1 of their submitted CIW.

The applicant must:

If the applicant does not respond timely, the system will terminate the applicant’s invitation. If an application is terminated, the GSA OMA Boston Office will email the CO, COTR/PM, and CSC POC of the termination and the entire application process must begin again.

The applicant must:

The following requirements apply to U.S. Citizens born in a foreign country, foreign born citizens, and dual citizenship holders and are required in addition to the above documentation.

If the applicant is a U.S. Citizen and was born in a foreign country, they must submit either a copy of the front page of their U.S. Passport or a copy of their U.S. Citizenship Naturalization Document.

If the applicant is a foreign born citizen and is now a U.S. Naturalized Citizen, they must also submit a copy of their U.S. Citizenship Naturalization Document.

If the applicant is a foreign born citizen and resides in the U.S., they must also submit a copy of their USCIS Alien Registration Document. If the applicant claims dual citizenship, they must sign, date and submit the DHS ICE Citizenship Declaration Form.

In addition to the CIW initiating the eQip process, it also enrolls the individual in US Access where the individual will be able to schedule an appointment for fingerprinting at one of over 200 enrollment stations nationwide, http://www.fedidcard.gov/centerlist.aspx. Fingerprint submissions are to be completed electronically utilizing OPM’s

Fingerprint Transaction System (FTS). Submission of electronic fingerprints through FTS improves efficiency, timeliness of results, and quality of the print. OPM will only accept Standard Form 87 (SF-87) fingerprint charts from those applicants residing greater than 100 miles (one way) from the nearest enrollment station. The SF 87 has been revised to support billing requirements of the Department of the Treasury and OPM processing enhancements.

Modifications to the SF 87 include the addition of four fields:

Submitting Office Number (SON) Security Office Identifier (SOl) Intra-Governmental Payment, Collection Code (IPAC) Miscellaneous Identification Number (MNU)

6. OPM reviews the eQip package, including attached forms to ensure all required information has been provided. If errors or omissions are detected, OPM will reject the eQip submission back to the contractor for correction. Once corrected, the contractor will again submit to OPM via eQip in accordance with paragraph 5.

7. OPM will then complete the preliminary suitability portion, as required under the GSA/ OPM Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Upon completion of that investigation, OPM electronically forwards the results of the preliminary suitability determination to the GSA OMA Central Office for input into GCIMS and forwards the eQip package to the Federal Investigation Section (FIS) of OPM for final suitability processing. Suitability Determinations may be either:

Pre-Favorable. The applicant is determined to be suitable to perform work in the building up to 180 calendar days. If the applicant has not received a Favorable 5 Year NACI/Tier 1 Investigation by the end of the 180 calendar days, he/she may continue to work under the existing determination until further notice.

Unfavorable. The applicant 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 applicant and the law enforcement checks.

The applicant may appeal this decision within 30 calendar days. All appeals on Unfavorable Suitability Determinations are handled by OPM.

Clarification. The applicant must contact the OPM Federal Investigative Service (OPM-FIS) within 15 calendar days to provide additional information in order to complete the background investigation for a suitability determination.

Failure to respond within the above time-frame will result in an Unfavorable Suitability Determination.

Favorable NACI/Tier 1 Investigation. Upon completion of OPM investigation and final Favorable Suitability Determination by OPM, the CO, COTR/PM, and CSC POC will receive notification from GSA OMA Boston Office of the applicant’s NACI/Tier 1 Investigation determination.

8. The OMA Boston Office emails the CO, COTR, and the CSC POC the result of the suitability determination.

9. In the event the applicant receives an Unfavorable or Clarification Suitability Determination, the applicant is afforded an opportunity to explain and correct any inconsistencies by providing additional supporting documentation to OPM FIS, which may or may not change the suitability determination.

10. If work is to be performed after building operating hours, the GSA OMA Boston Office must provide the local DHS/FPS Official the following information in writing:

Building name and location of work (i.e. room number, floor, and agency) Name and address of Contractor Company Last, First and Middle name of all Contractor(s) Dates and times of activity.
