FBI-0009 – Personnel Security – Contract Security Requirements from Acquisition Security Unit (ASU)
1.1 Personnel Security Requirements: The administrative control and maintenance of accurate records of contractors has been identified by both the Intelligence Community and FBI Executive Management as a matter of concern. With the continuous dependency on contractors to support the FBI, to include access to FBI facilities and information, if a procurement is expected to result in the acquisition of services involving the assignment of contractor personnel to FBI locations the Program Management Officer/Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), in coordination with the assigned Chief Security Officer, are required to identify during procurement planning stages, whether an acquisition will require assignment of contractor personnel to FBI locations, and therefore require the anticipated contract to include the Special Security Clause identified below in 1.2.
1.2 Special Security Requirements: Security Requirements Applicable to Contractor Personnel Assigned to FBI Locations: Requirements are applicable to all individuals to be assigned to FBI locations, to include those identified as "Key Personnel", if specified in the contract. The contractor shall plan for expected attrition through advanced preparation and submission of required information. Award of this contract is anticipated to result in assignment of contractor personnel to FBI controlled or occupied space. Security and ethical conduct requirements, specific to the contract, to include a copy of the "Contractor & FBI Employees Ethics Standards Factsheet" are provided. Any questions that the contractor or contractor personnel may have on the applicability of these requirements shall be addressed to the Contracting Officer's Security Representative or (name of Chief Security Officer), Chief Security Officer, at (telephone number). As such, all contractor personnel assigned to such space must be briefed, in advance of arrival, by the contractor on the provided FBI policies and procedures, as identified in the contract, regarding ethical conduct and security requirements. A list of assigned contractor personnel and verification of their briefing, shall be provided to the cognizant contractor security officer for subsequent transmittal to the proper FBI Security Officer assigned oversight of this contract. This list must be provided no later than seven (7) days in advance of the individual's scheduled date of initial performance at an FBI location. Failure to provide the required verification of briefing will result in a delay of the individual's access to the facility. Additionally, within 15 days from assignment to FBI space, the employee must attend an FBI Security Awareness Briefing, which will further address FBI policies and procedures, as identified in FBI's Policy and Guidance Library. This training is currently satisfied through the contractor employee's attendance at the Security Division's Career Services Management Unit's quarterly contractor's training offered at FBI, 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The assigned FBI Chief Security Officer will contact the employee with the date and time of their scheduled briefing. Failure to attend this briefing or make arrangements to attend a subsequent briefing will result in immediate removal of the employee from FBI space. If contract performance is impacted as a result of removal of the employee, the contractor may be found in default of the contract. In the event that the development of information or material is not clearly covered by the contract or regulations, the contractor is required to seek FBI guidance regarding its handling of classified and/or unclassified information. Only such persons who have been authorized by the Contracting Officer and/or the Chief Security Officer/Contracting Officer's Security Representative, if the work is for other than specified personnel, shall be assigned to this work. In this connection, for identification purposes, the contractor will be required to submit the name, address, place and date of birth of all personnel who will be involved in the work hereunder. Said information will be required to be provided to the identified Chief Security Officer not later than seven (7) days in advance of the scheduled date of such work. Information relating to an individual(s) identified as "Key Personnel" should be reported to the Chief Security Officer after the written consent of the Contracting Officer has been received. All contractor personnel who receive a security clearance or access approval under the terms of this contract will be required to execute a FBI specified nondisclosure agreement. The contractor agrees to abide by all applicable FBI security regulations governing personnel, facilities, technical, information systems, communications and protective programs. The following reporting requirements are to be reported to the identified Chief Security Officer as promptly as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such knowledge. a. Adverse Information. Contractors shall report any adverse information coming to their attention concerning any of their employees supporting this contract. Adverse information is defined as any information that adversely reflect on the integrity or character of an employee that suggests that his or her ability to safeguard FBI Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)/Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) and/or classified information may be impaired, or that his or her access to the information clearly may not be in the interest of the FBI and/or National Security. b. Suspicious Contacts. Contractors shall report efforts by any individual, regardless of nationality, to obtain illegal or unauthorized access to FBI SBU/LES or classified information or to compromise an employee. c. Change in Employee Status. Contractors shall report (1) the death, (2) a name change, (3) change in marital status, (4) change to performance which alters their originally assigned location and FBI Division to which they report, (5) termination of employment. d.

FBI-0010 – Warrantless Search – Contract Security Requirements from Acquisition Security Unit (ASU) All cleared personnel accessing information within FBI controlled space are required to execute an FBI Form FD 1001 Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice (DOJ) Workplaces as a condition of working at FBI facilities. The FBI's Director implemented the Attorney General's policy subjecting employees to warrantless physical searches of their offices or immediate workplaces within DOJ premises when authorized by the Attorney General (AG) or the Deputy Attorney General (DAG) based upon a determination that information the Department deems credible indicates that the employee: 1) is, or may be, disclosing classified information in an unauthorized manner; 2) has incurred excessive indebtedness or has acquired a level of affluence that cannot be reasonably explained by other information; 3) had the capability and opportunity to disclose classified information that is believed to have been lost or compromised to a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power; or 4) has repeatedly or significantly mishandled or improperly stored classified information. The search may extend to the entire office or workplace and anything within it that might hold classified information, including locked containers (such as briefcases) and electronic storage media (such as computer disk and handheld computers), whether owned by the government, by the employee, or by a third party. The search may be conducted by appropriate FBI personnel and/or law enforcement officers, on an announced or unannounced basis, during the workday or after hours. If discovered during a search, evidence of misconduct - whether related to storage or classified information, storage of sensitive but unclassified information, or a crime - will be collected and reported to appropriate authorities. Contractor personnel who will meet the above criteria will be required to sign Form FD 1001 Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice (DOJ) Workplaces (attached) upon award and forward the executed form(s) to the assigned Contracting Officer's Representative designated in Section G of the solicitation if this is a formal solicitation or listed below. All forms will be retained by the FBI during the period the individual is providing services and two years after that individual's departure before final disposition is taken.
FBI-0012 - CARS Clause: Clauses for Procurements of Critical Assets - Contract Security Requirements from Acquisition Security Unit (ASU) Every effort must be made to ensure that supplies are provided and integrated and services are performed using sound security components, practices, and procedures. Acquisition of supplies or services from concerns under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) or of supplies developed, manufactured, maintained, or modified by concerns under FOCI (any or all of which shall be referred to herein as "Use of FOCI source") is of serious concern and must be approved prior to contract award. Approval decisions will be made on a case by case basis after the source or technology has been identified by the Offeror and subjected to a risk assessment. The risk assessment process will vary depending on the acquisition type and proposed use of a FOCI source, available risk mitigation measures, and the information/justification provided by the Offeror. Any Offeror responding to this Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), or Sealed Bid acknowledges the Government's requirements to secure services or equipment from firms which are not under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), or where any FOCI, in the opinion of the Government, adversely impacts on National Security or security requirements. The Offeror understands and agrees that the Government retains the right to reject any response to this RFP, RFQ, or Sealed Bid made by the Offeror, without any further recourse by or explanation to the Offeror, if the FOCI for that Offeror is determined by the Government to be an unacceptable security risk. Risk assessments will be on a case-by-case basis and will be used to determine whether the use of a FOCI source poses an unacceptable security risk. If an unacceptable security risk is determined, the Government retains the right to reject the use of a FOCI source or to require that certain risk mitigation measures be taken by the Offeror. Similarly, the Government retains the unilateral right to approve the use of a FOCI source when the risk assessment indicates that such use would be in the Governments' best interests. If the use of a FOCI source is not approved, no classified information will be disclosed to the Offeror as part of the Government's rationale for non-approval. The Offeror (prime and subs) may not seek reimbursement from the Government for any costs associated with responding to this RFP, RFQ or Sealed Bid, as a result of a FOCI nonapproval decision.
In Section K, Offerors shall complete the Acquisition Risk Questions and Key Management Personnel Listing (KMPL) for the prime contractor and all proposed subcontractors. Provision of false information shall be cause for default under the Default Clause of this contract. The information in Section K regarding Key Management Personnel, which may identify U.S. persons, is being requested pursuant to the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, Executive Order 12829, National Industrial Security Program, and Director of Central Intelligence Directive 7/6, Community Acquisition Risk Center, or superseding Acts, Orders or Directives. The FBI will use this information to conduct the acquisition risk determination and may share the information internally and externally with members of the Intelligence Community and other U.S. Government entities, if necessary, consistent with appropriate routine uses for its Central Records System (CRS), Justice/FBI-002, last published in full in the Federal Register on February 20, 1998 (63 Fed. Reg. 8671), or any updates thereto. In the absence of proof of death of any of the Key Management Personnel, their consent, or an overriding public interest, the information will not otherwise be disseminated except pursuant to the routine uses for the CRS. The Government reserves the right to prohibit individuals who are not U.S. citizens from all or certain aspects of the work to be performed under this Contract. Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) For purposes of this clause, a U.S. company is considered under FOCI whenever a foreign interest has the power, direct or indirect, and whether or not exercisable through the ownership of the U.S. company's securities, by contractual arrangements or other means, to direct or decide matters affecting the management or operations of that company. Changed conditions, such as change in ownership, indebtedness, or the foreign intelligence threat, may justify certain adjustments to the security terms under which a company is operating, or, alternatively, that different FOCI mitigation measures be employed. If a changed condition is of sufficient significance, it might also result in a determination that a company is no longer considered to be under FOCI. There is a continuing obligation of the Selected Offeror to advise the Government of such changed conditions. Failure to abide by this obligation shall be cause for default under the Default Clause of this contract.
Factors: The following factors will be used as the basis for making an acquisition risk determination. If the Offeror, or its proposed subcontractors, meet any of the following factors, they must identify themselves as a potential FOCI company and submit themselves for a Government FOCI evaluation and risk assessment: (1) Ownership or beneficial ownership, direct or indirect, of 5 percent or more of the Offeror's company's voting securities by a foreign person. (2) Ownership or beneficial ownership, direct or indirect, of 25 percent or more of any class of the Offeror's company's non- voting securities by a foreign person. (3) Management positions, such as directors, officers, or executive personnel of the Offeror's company held by non-U.S. citizens. (4) Foreign person power, direct or indirect, to control the election, appointment, or tenure of directors, officers or executive personnel of the Offeror's company or other decisions or activities of the Offeror's company. (5) Contracts, agreements, understandings, or arrangements between the Offeror's company and a foreign person. (6) Loan arrangements between the Offeror's company and a foreign person if the Offeror's company's (the borrower) overall debt to equity ratio is 40:60 or greater; or financial obligations that are subject to the ability of a foreign person to demand repayment. (7) Annual total revenues or net income in excess of 5 percent from a single foreign person or in excess of 30 percent from foreign persons in the aggregate. (8) Ten percent or more of any class of the Offeror's voting securities held in "nominee shares", in "street names", or in some other method that does not disclose the beneficial ownership of equitable title. (9) Interlocking directors with foreign persons and any officer or management official of the Offeror's company who is also employed by a foreign person. (10) Any other factor that indicates or demonstrates a capability on the part of foreign persons to control or influence the operations or management of the Offeror's company. (11) Ownership of 10 percent or more of any foreign interest. Every effort must be made to ensure that supplies are provided and integrated and services are performed using sound security components, practices, and procedures. Acquisition of supplies or services from concerns under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) or of supplies developed, manufactured, maintained, or modified by concerns under FOCI (any or all of which shall be referred to herein as "Use of FOCI source") is of serious concern and must be approved prior to contract award and evaluated during contract performance. Approval decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis after the source or technology has been identified by the Offeror and subjected to a risk assessment.
Any Offeror responding to this Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), or Sealed Bid acknowledges the Government's requirements to secure services or equipment from firms which are not an acquisition risk; are not under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI); or where any FOCI, in the opinion of the Government, adversely impacts on National Security or security requirements. The Offeror understands and agrees that the Government retains the right to reject any response to this RFP, RFQ, or Sealed Bid made by the Offeror, without any further recourse by or explanation to the Offeror, if the acquisition risk for that Offeror is determined by the Government to be an unacceptable security risk. The risk assessment process will vary depending on the acquisition type and proposed use of a FOCI source, available risk mitigation measures, and the information/justification provided by the Offeror. Risk assessments will be on a case-by-case basis and will be used to determine whether the use of a FOCI source poses an unacceptable security risk. If an unacceptable security risk is determined, the Government retains the right to reject the use of a FOCI source or to require that certain risk mitigation measures be taken by the contractor. Similarly, the Government retains the unilateral right to approve the use of a FOCI source when the risk assessment indicates that such use would be in the Governments' best interests.
If the use of a FOCI source is not approved, no classified information will be disclosed to the Offeror as part of the Government's rationale for non-approval. The Offeror (prime and subs) may not seek reimbursement from the Government for any costs associated with responding to this RFP, RFQ, or Sealed Bid, as a result of a FOCI nonapproval decision.
FBI-0013 – e-QIP – Contract Security Requirements from Acquisition Security Unit (ASU), Procurement Section Directive (PSD): 09-22.18 Performance under this contract may require access to FBI locations to provide some service, product, or perform some other official function of interest to the FBI.

Contractors who will require escorted access, to include short-term, intermittent, or infrequent access, to an FBI facility must complete an "Access of Non-FBI Personnel to FBI Facilities, Background Data Information Form," (FD 816), a "Privacy Act of 1974 Acknowledgment Form" (FD 484) and two Fingerprint Cards (FD 258). Completed forms should be provided to the assigned Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) at least 10 days prior to required access. Individuals requiring unescorted access to an FBI facility must complete the Standard Form 86 (SF-86), Questionnaire for National Security Positions, using the Office of Personnel Management’s Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) and provide two Fingerprint Cards (FD 258). e-QIP is a secure website that can be accessed from any computer system which has an Internet connection. Only the signed release forms and FD 258 will need to be mailed to the identified Chief Security Officer, the SF-86 itself will be transmitted to the FBI electronically. To complete the SF-86 using e-QIP, the individual requiring unescorted access to the FBI facility must contact (insert Chief Security Officer, Division, and telephone number) in order to be initiated into e-QIP. Once this action has been accomplished, the individual should be able to access e-QIP at the following link in order to initiate and complete the electronic process: http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/browser-check.asp. Thoroughly read and follow the instructions for completing the SF-86. NOTE: To fully address suitability/security issues, the FBI requires individuals to provide responses to questions on the SF-86 for the last ten years. Failure to complete the application as instructed may lead to significant delays in processing the required investigation and approval for unescorted access. Upon logging onto e-QIP, there will be a prompt to answer three “Golden” security questions to establish the user account. After completing the electronic SF-86, please print and sign the (1) Certification Form (CER) - Certify Completeness and Accuracy of your Investigation Request; (2) Medical Release Form (MEL) - Authorization for Release of Medical Information; and (3) Release Form (REL) - Authorization for Release of Information.

As a result, evidence may inadvertently become contaminated with their DNA. Per the Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory Elimination Deoxyribonucleic Acid Database Policy Directive (1149D), LD is collecting DNA samples to identify FBI employees, contractor, or service provider DNA profiles in the event of sample contamination via the FORM FD-1176, "Federal Bureau of Investigation Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Sample Collection Acknowledgement Form”. A contractor or service provider funded by this procurement action is required to provide a DNA sample which will be processed for DNA and used to detect contamination on forensic evidence. The DNA results will be protected, i.e. anonymized, maintained in a secure database with controlled access, and used only by authorized DNA personnel for the sole purpose of detecting contamination. The remaining collected sample will be stored in a secure location for potential processing with future DNA technologies, if appropriate. If the contractor or service provider's DNA profile is detected during evidence analysis, it will be identified as sample contamination rather than reported as a possible perpetrator to law enforcement.

DJAR-PGD-07-12 - Maintaining Contractor Performance During a Pandemic or Other Emergency During a Pandemic or other emergency we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absenteeism as our federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make a reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce. Contractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission critical services, during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.
The types of actions a federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:
Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.
Contractors should cross-train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services. This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.
Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support successful remote work in an emergency.
Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and responsibilities in relation to remote work in the event of a pandemic health crisis or other emergency.
Establish communication processes to notify employees of activation of this plan.
Integrate pandemic health crisis response expectations into telework agreements.
With the employee, assess requirements for working at home (supplies and equipment needed for an extended telework period). Security concerns should be considered in making equipment choices; agencies or contractors may wish to avoid use of employees' personal computers and provide them with PCs or laptops as appropriate.
Determine how all employees who may telework will communicate with one another and with management to accomplish work.
Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.
Make it clear that in emergency…
