Instructions to Offeror

NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester's concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.

Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for reasons of unusual and compelling urgency or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency's goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the

70Z04025QESDV0001

protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program shall be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum.

If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is (202) 372-3695.

The Contractor is also responsible for ensuring that its employees and those of its subcontractor(s) do not disturb papers on desks, open desk drawers or cabinets, use Government telephones, except as authorized, or otherwise jeopardize the security and the privacy of Government employees, its clientele, and the contents and property of the federal building(s) where the work is performed. Each employee or supervisor of the Contractor is expected to adhere to standards of behavior that reflect credit on themselves, their employer, and the Federal Government.

(b) The Contractor will be responsible for taking such disciplinary action, including suspension without pay or removal from the worksite, with respect to its employees, as may be necessary to enforce those standards.

(c) Where applicable, the requirements of this section must be expressly inPOCporated into subcontract(s) and must be applicable to all subcontractor employees who may perform recurring services or work at the federal building and grounds of this contract.

(d) The SFLC ESD EOB Contracting Officer's Representative (POC) or Contracting Officer retains the right to permanently remove any employee or contractor if their conduct jeopardizes the safety and security of USCG SFLC personnel or its mission. The Government will request the Contractor to immediately remove any employee of the Contractor from the federal building/worksite should it be determined by the Contracting Officer that the individual employee of the Contractor is "unsuitable" for security reasons or for otherwise being found to be unfit to access the installation. The following areas (not all-inclusive) are considered justification for requesting the Contractor to immediately remove an employee from a federal building/work site:

(i) Neglect of assigned duty and refusing to render assistance or cooperate in upholding the integrity of the security programs at the worksite;

(ii) Falsification or unlawful concealment, removal, mutilation, or destruction of any official documents or rePOCds, or concealment of material facts by willful omissions from official documents or rePOCds;

(iii) Disorderly conduct, use of abusive or offensive language, quarreling, intimidation by words or actions, or fighting;

participation in disruptive activities which interfere with the normal and efficient operations of the Government;

(iv) Theft, vandalism, immoral conduct, or any other criminal actions;

(v) Selling, consuming, or being under the influence of intoxicants, drugs, or controlled substances which produce similar effects;

70Z04025QESDV0001

decision for removal.

(f) Upon a determination of the Government that an employee of the Contractor be removed from or denied access to a worksite, the employee's clearance and access to the worksite must be immediately revoked or otherwise terminated.

Furthermore, if applicable, the building pass and/or other access device(s) previously given to the employee must be immediately surrendered, returned, or delivered to the security officer.

2. USCG CONTRACTOR ACCESS PROCEDURES

A. Physical Access Suitability

a. The Government will have, and will exercise, full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating suitability determinations for all contract employees granted access to Government facilities. All employees assigned to positions requiring access to USCG facilities under this contract shall be subject to background investigations at the "National Agency Check with Inquiries" (NACI) level. Contractor personnel with access to USCG Desktop Common Productivity Tools shall also be required to comply with this requirement. The Government may, as it deems appropriate, authorize and grant temporary access to employees of the Contractor and its subcontractors. However, the granting of temporary access to any such employee will not be considered as assurance that full suitability determination will follow as a result or condition thereof. The granting of either temporary or full access will in no way prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such suitability determination by the Government as deemed necessary to protect facilities.

B. Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS)

(a) "Contractor employee" means an employee of a firm, or an individual, under contract or subcontract to the Coast Guard to provide services and who requires physical and/or logical access to information systems and/or facilities.

(b) Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 mandates a federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractor employees. The Common Access Card (CAC) is a personal identification card for the Department of Defense/Uniformed Services and complies with HSPD-12. The Coast Guard has instituted the CAC as its HSPD-12 compliant personal identification card for contractor and subcontractor employees who are required to access a Coast Guard, Department of Defense (DOD), or other federally controlled computer information system and/or facility or need public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication to perform their contractual duties. The Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) is the automated application process for obtaining a CAC.

(c) Contractor and subcontractor employees working pursuant to this contract who are required to access a Coast Guard, DOD, or other federally controlled computer information system and/or facility or need PKI authentication to perform their contractual duties shall use TASS to obtain a CAC.

(d) The Contracting Officer Representative (POC) shall serve as the TASS Trusted Agent and is responsible for creating contractor accounts in the TASS approving, returning, or rejecting CAC applications (as applicable); re-verifying assigned contractors every six months; revoking contractor and employee eligibility for a CAC; and confiscating a CAC when the contract expires or when a contractor or subcontractor employee stops working under the contract.

(e) Current standards require a favorable fingerprint check and verification of an initiated or completed investigation for all incoming Coast Guard contractor personnel before CAC issuance. The POC shall ensure that contractor personnel satisfy the security requirements for CAC issuance, and that completed fingerprint cards and electronic questionnaires for investigation processing are submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard Security Center (SECCEN).

(f) The POC or Contracting Officer shall provide such forms to, or request such information from, contractor employees that may be necessary for obtaining a CAC via the TASS. Completed forms and information shall be submitted as directed by the POC or Contracting Officer. Contractors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information.

70Z04025QESDV0001

(g) Contractor or subcontractor employees who are declined via the TASS are ineligible to perform work under this contract.

When an employee with a CAC is no longer performing work under this contract, the employee must return them to the POC or Contracting Officer on the same day the employee stops working.

(h) The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when a subcontractor's employee is required to access a Coast Guard, DOD, or other federally controlled computer information system and/or facility or need PKI authentication to perform contractual duties.

3. COOPERATION WITH OTHER ON-SITE CONTRACTORS

(a) When the Government undertakes or awards other task orders or contracts for additional work at the facilities, the Contractor must: (1) fully cooperate with the other Contractors and Government employees, and (2) carefully fit its own work to such other additional contracted work as may be directed by the POC. The Contractor must not commit or permit any act that will interfere with the performance of work awarded to another Contractor or with the performance of other Government employees. In those instances where a potential or actual conflict occurs, the contractor shall be directed to contact the Contracting Officer to mitigate any actual disagreement.

(b) In any case where, in the course of fulfilling the contractual requirements, the Contractor disturbs any work guaranteed under another separate contract, the Contractor must restore such disturbed work to a condition satisfactory to the POC and guarantee such restored work to the same extent as it was guaranteed under the other contract.
