6.8.1.5. Vehicle Disposal. Personnel protected under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) are required by regulation to properly dispose of vehicles prior to departure from Japan. For individuals performing under this contract, the contractor may be held financially liable for vehicles abandoned, or vehicles not disposed of properly, in accordance with vehicle regulations as agreed with the Government of Japan.

6.8.2. Personnel Access / Credentialing. Access to local installations is inherently required to accomplish specified tasks under this contract/order. The contractor shall therefore ensure all necessary actions are taken to obtain such access by its personnel in time to affect access in accordance with the requirements of the PWS and

POP. Failure to complete such actions in a timely manner, some of which may occur prior to the POP or individual mobilization/relocation to the place of performance, shall not constitute excusable delay. Upon request, the

Contracting Officer will provide a ‘check-in’ sheet that summarizes required actions.

6.8.2.1. Common Access Cards (CAC). Provided the clause 52.204-9 is incorporated, personnel performing on this contract/order may require a CAC. Pursuant to FAR 52.204-9, the CAC is DoD’s Personal Identity Verification

(PIV) system; DoD procedures for CAC issuance are applicable and incorporated herein, as governed by DODI/M series 1000.13, DODI 5200.46, and other regulations. All personnel to be issued CAC must meet eligibility and suitability criteria as specified in the references; accordingly, the vetting procedures and required personnel actions may often begin well before the contract/order POP. The contractor and its employees and/or subcontractors are responsible for ensuring timely action and suitability to obtain CACs, and any resultant access issues from non-compliance shall not constitute excusable delay.

6.8.2.2. Base Passes and/or Defense Biometrics IDentification System (DBIDS) cards. Personnel that do not qualify for CAC require an alternate credential for installation access, as governed by Marine Corps Installations Pacific Order 5512.2, which can be provided upon request. The process to request access requires approval from the

Contracting Officer in an access request letter.

6.8.2.3. Return and/or Disposal of Access Credentials. The contractor’s employees shall return to the applicable issuing office all base passes, DBIDS cards, and/or CAC, immediately upon termination of employment or completion of this contract and certification of receipt shall be obtained and submitted to the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall submit a listing of employees terminated under this contract to the Contracting Officer within seven (7) days of the effective date of termination.

6.8.2.4. Status of Forces Agreement. Possession of a CAC or other credential does not, alone, determine the legal status of personnel performing under this contract. Additionally, unless specifically identified on the CAC, the credential does not necessarily authorize logistical support privileges such as commissary/exchange access. The individual status of personnel performing under this contract, and the privileges authorized, are governed in accordance with United States Force Japan Instructions (predominantly USFJI 64-100), applicable credentialing regulations, and the information prescribed via DFARS clauses regarding Contractor Personnel in Japan, as contained herein.

6.9. Privacy Act. Pursuant to FAR clause 52.224-3, as incorporated, DoD requires agency-specific Privacy Act training as prescribed in DODM 5400.11-R. DODM 5400.11-R also prescribes required actions regarding information and privacy, which are applicable to the contractor and its personnel performing under this contract/order. The regulation may subject the contractor and/or contractor's personnel to criminal liability under

Title 18, Section 793 and 7908 of the United States Code.

6.10. Classified information. Any classified work products shall be handled in accordance with DoD Instruction

5220.22-M. The contractor’s procedures for protecting against unauthorized disclosure of information will not require DoD employees or members of the Armed Forces to relinquish control of their work product, whether classified or not, to the contractor. The contractor may also have access to, and be required to safeguard, For Official

Use Only (FOUO), sensitive, confidential, and/or classified information and material.

6.11. Key Control. The Contractor shall establish and implement methods of ensuring that all keys issued to the Contractor by the government are not lost or misplaced, and are not used by unauthorized persons. The Contractor shall report lost keys to the COR. The Contractor shall not duplicate any keys. It is also the responsibility of the Contractor to prohibit the opening of locked areas by the Contractor’s employees to permit entrance of persons other than Contractor’s employees engaged in the performance of assigned work in those areas. In the event keys are lost or unauthorized duplication occurs through the fault of a Contractor employee, The Government may, at its option, require the Contractor to replace keys, reimburse the government for replacement of locks, or re-key as a result of Contractor losing keys. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, the Contractor shall replace all locks and keys for that system and the total cost will be deducted from the monthly payment.

6.12. Quality Control and Quality Assurance. In accordance with FAR part 46, and the respective enumerated clauses incorporated in this contract/order, the contactor is reminded that the government may conduct Quality

Assurance actions, inspect the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan and records, and take remedial actions as necessary, at any time through the duration of this contract/order.
