(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 CVS to obtain a CAC.

(d) The Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) shall serve as the CVS Trusted Agent and is responsible for creating contractor accounts in the CVS; 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 COTR 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 COTR 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 CVS.

Completed forms and information shall be submitted as directed by the COTR 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.

(g) Contractor or subcontractor employees who are declined a CAC via the CVS 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 the CAC to the COTR 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.
