MDDC Program VAR Process for Lab Tour.docx

MDA VAR/L Process for MDDC Lab Tour Must be submitted by 5 Jul 2012

All non-MDA Huntsville visitors must be badged in order to have access to VBIII and other MDA Huntsville locations. Based on a security clearance, visitors can receive either a Non-Escort Visitors Badge or an Escort Only Visitors Badge.

To receive a Non-Escort Visitors Badge, all non-MDA Huntsville visitors must have a Visitor Access Request (VAR/Ls/VALs) on file in the MDA Visitor Database, Diamond II, indicating that the visitor has at least a US SECRET or INTERIM SECRET level or higher security clearance. Visitors without at least a current US INTERIM SECRET clearance on file will receive an Escort Only Visitor Badge and must be escorted at all times while in MDA facilities.

VAR/Ls must be sent one week in advance of a visit to ensure no last-minute access problems. All MDA and Non-MDA VAR/L's are sent by the company or organization requesting that their assigned personnel (listed individually by name) be admitted to MDA or other non-MDA areas controlled by MDA Security Operations Center (SOC)/HSV for the purpose of discussing classified information, or be allowed to enter a controlled area in which a security clearance is required.

VAR/L information must be sent via email to Belinda Williams at Belinda.williams@mda.mil and copy Emily McGee at Emily.mcgee@mda.mil, not later than 4:00 PM on July 5, 2011.

All VAR/Ls must include at least the following information, if applicable:

a. Name and address of the organization transmitting the VAR/L

b. First Name, Last Name, SSN, Date-of Birth, Place-of-Birth, and Citizenship of each individual listed on the VAR/L

c. Clearance Level (collateral clearance) of each individual listed on the VAR/L

d. Organization granting the clearance and the most recent background/suitability investigation for the clearance was satisfactorily completed

e. Name and signature of security officer or individual certifying the clearances of individuals cited in the VAR/L
