H.5200.204.001 MAJOR BREACH OF SAFETY OR SECURITY (DEC 2015)

(a) Safety is the freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. Safety is essential to

TSA and compliance with safety standards and practices is a material part of this contract. A major breach of safety may constitute a breach of contract that entitles the Government to exercise any of its rights and remedies applicable to material parts of this agreement, including termination for default. A major breach of safety must be related directly to the work on the agreement. A major breach of safety is an act or omission of the Contractor that consists of an accident, incident, or exposure resulting in a fatality, serious injury, or mission failure; or in damage to equipment or property equal to or greater than $1 million; or in any "willful" or

"repeat" violation cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or by a state agency operating under an OSHA approved plan.

(b) Security is the condition of safeguarding against espionage, sabotage, crime (including computer crime), or attack. A major breach of security may constitute a breach of contract that entitles the Government to exercise any of its rights and remedies applicable to material parts of this agreement, including termination for default. A major breach of security may occur on or off Government installations, but must be related directly to the work on the agreement. A major breach of security is an act or omission by the Contractor that results in compromise of classified information or sensitive security information or sensitive but unclassified information, including

HSTS01-16-Q-FDO022 20

contractor proprietary information, illegal technology transfer, workplace violence resulting in criminal conviction, sabotage, compromise or denial of information technology services, equipment or property damage from vandalism greater than $250,000, or theft greater than

$250,000.

NOTE: Breach of Security for the purposes of this definition should not be confused with breach of security in screening operations.

(c) In the event of a major breach of safety or security, the Contractor shall report the breach to the Contracting Officer. If directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall conduct its own investigation and report the results to the Government. The Contractor shall cooperate with the Government investigation, if conducted.

H.5200.204.002 PERSONNEL ACCESS (MAR 2016)

1. All Contractor personnel requiring access to TSA facilities, information systems, or information will be subject to the security procedures set forth in this contract.

2. Whenever personal identity verification (PIV ) cards are required for issuance or re-issuance to contractor personnel for authorized access to Government facilities, under the guidance of the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the Contractor is responsible for making all arrangements for affected Contractor personnel to report in-person at the nearest Government issuing facility to initiate and complete procedures for

PIV card issuance. The Government will not be able to provide PIV card issuance at any other locations than those officially designated as available. PIV card issuing facilities that are available for the completion of this requirement for TSA contractors are as listed by the TSA Personnel Security Section, and the COR will advise the Contractor about

Government PIV card issuing facility locations that are nearby the contractor’s location(s) of performance that will be potentially available for card issuance when required.

H.5200.209.004 STAFF-LIKE ACCESS DETERMINATION FOR CONTRACTOR

EMPLOYEES (FEB 2016)

All contractor employees seeking to provide services to TSA under a TSA contract are subject to a fitness determination to assess whether their initial employment or continued employment on a

TSA contract protects or promotes the efficiency of the agency. TSA, by and through the Office of Security, Personnel Security Section (PerSec), will allow a contractor employee to commence work on a TSA contract only if a review of the contractor employee’s preliminary background check is favorable. Contractor employees with unfavorable preliminary background checks will not be allowed to work on a TSA contract.

HSTS01-16-Q-FDO022 21

A fitness determination involves the following three phases:

Phase 1: Enter On Duty Fitness Determination: a review of a contractor employee’s consumer credit report, criminal history records, and submitted security forms to determine, to the extent possible, if the contractor employee has bad debt and/or criminal offenses and/or falsification issues that would prohibit employment as a TSA contractor. This determination may include verification of citizenship for contractor employees born outside of the United States. A favorable Enter On Duty Suitability Determination is not a final fitness determination; rather, it is a preliminary review of external data sources that allows the contractor employee to commence work prior to the required background investigation being completed.

When a contractor employee is deemed eligible to commence work on a TSA contract, TSA

PerSec will notify the appropriate Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) of the favorable determination. Similar notifications will be sent when a contractor employee has not passed the preliminary background check and has been deemed unsuitable.

Phase 2: Background Investigation: Once the contractor employee commences work on a TSA contract, TSA PerSec will process all submitted security forms to determine whether the contractor has previously been the subject of a federal background investigation sufficient in scope to meet TSA minimum investigative requirements. Contractor employees who have a federal investigation sufficient in scope will immediately be processed for final fitness adjudication. Those contractor employees who do not have a previous federal background investigation sufficient in scope will be scheduled for the appropriate level background investigation through the submission of their security forms to the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM).

Phase 3: Final Fitness Adjudication: TSA PerSec will complete the final fitness determination after receipt, review, and adjudication of the completed OPM background investigation. The final fitness determination is an assessment made by TSA PerSec to determine whether there is reasonable expectation that the continued employment of the TSA contractor will or will not protect or promote the efficiency of the agency. An unfavorable final fitness determination will result in a notification to the COR that the contractor employee has been deemed unfit for continued contract employment and that he/she shall be removed from the TSA contract.

H.5200.212.001 COMMERCIAL APPLICABILITY (JUL 2015)

Prescription: The following clause shall be placed into all solicitations and contracts issued by

TSA.

This contract is/ is not (CO shall select) for commercial item, as defined by FAR 2.1.

HSTS01-16-Q-FDO022 22

H.5200.222.001 INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRACTOR REGARDING NON-

DISPLACEMENT OF QUALIFIED WORKERS UNDER SERVICE CONTRACT

LABOR STANDARDS-AFFECTED CONTRACTS. (JUL 2015)

(1) Background: Service contracts and subcontracts with employees who are specifically covered by the requirements in FAR Subpart 22.12—Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers

Under Service Contracts.

Applicability. FAR 52.222-17, “Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers” takes precedence, if there should be any conflict with any information in this specific contract term.

(A)(i)This special contract requirement requires successor contractors under a newly-awarded contract to offer employment on a first right of refusal to Service Contract Labor Standards -covered employees under a current contract that includes FAR 52.222-17. When a service contract (which is any contract or subcontract for services entered into by the Federal

Government or its contractors that is covered in whole or in part concerning its requirement by the Service Contract Labor Standards, as amended, and its implementing regulations) succeeds a contract for performance of the same or similar services, at the same location, the successor contractor and its subcontractors are required to offer those service employees that are employed under the predecessor contract, and whose employment will be terminated as a result of the award of the successor contract, a right of first refusal of employment under the contract in positions for which they are qualified. Executive Order 13495 prohibits employment openings under the successor contract until such right of first refusal has been provided.

(ii) Method of job offer. The successor contractor shall make job offers to current contract employees (who are covered by the Service Contract Act) as specified herein. The current contract is held by: (CONTRACTING OFFICER; INSERT NAME OF CURRENT

CONTRACTOR, CONTRACT NUMBER, and OFFICIAL CONTRACTOR

BUSINESS/MAILING ADDRESS). A job offer made by a successor contractor must be a bona fide express offer of employment on the contract. Each bona fide express offer made to a qualified service employee on the predecessor contract must have a stated time limit of not less than ten (10) days for an employee response. Prior to the expiration of the 10-day period, the contractor is prohibited from offering employment on the contract to any other person, subject to the exceptions at FAR 22.1203-5. Any question concerning an employee’s qualifications shall be decided based upon the individual’s education and employment history, with particular emphasis on the employee’s experience on the predecessor contract, and a contractor may utilize employment screening processes only when such processes are provided for by the contracting agency, are conditions of the service contract, and are consistent with Executive Order 13495.

An offer of employment will be presumed to be bona fide even if it is not for a position similar to the one the employee previously held, but is one for which the employee is qualified, and even if it is subject to different employment terms and conditions, including changes to pay or benefits.

(iii) Exceptions to Job Offer requirements. (a) A successor contractor or its subcontractors are not required to offer employment to any service employee of the predecessor contractor who (1)

Will be retained by the predecessor contractor. (2) The successor contractor or any of its subcontractors reasonably believes, based on the particular service employee’s past performance, HSTS01-16-Q-FDO022 23 has failed to perform suitably on the job.
