CAP
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION PLAN (CAP)
FOR FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS
In order to expedite the administration of this contract, the following delineation of duties is provided. The names, addresses and phone numbers for these offices or individuals are included elsewhere in the contract award document. The office or individual designated as having responsibility should be contacted for any questions, clarifications, or information regarding the administration function assigned.
1. The Procuring Contract Office (PCO) is responsible for:
a. All pre-award duties such as solicitation, negotiation and award of contracts.
b. Any information or questions during the pre-award stage of the procurement.
c. Freedom of Information inquiries.
d. Changes in contract terms and/or conditions.
e. Post award conference.
2. The Contract Administration Office (CAO) is responsible for matters specified in the FAR 42.302 and DFARS
42.302 except those areas otherwise designated as the responsibility of the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or someone else herein.
3. The paying office is responsible for making payment of proper invoices after acceptance is documented.
4. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is responsible for interface with the contractor and performance of duties such as those set forth below. It is emphasized that only the PCO/CAO has the authority to modify the terms of the contract. In no event will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of the basic contract between the contractor and any other person be effective or binding on the Government. If in the opinion of the contractor an effort outside the scope of the contract is requested, the contractor shall promptly notify the PCO in writing. No action may be taken by the contractor unless the PCO or CAO has issued a contractual change. The COR duties are as follows:
a. Technical Interface
(1) The COR is responsible for all Government technical interface concerning the contractor and furnishing technical instructions to the contractor. These instructions may include: technical advice/recommendations/clarifications of specific details relating to technical aspects of contract requirements;
milestones to be met within the general terms of the contract or specific subtasks of the contract; or, any other interface of a technical nature necessary for the contractor to perform the work specified in the contract. The COR is the point of contact through whom the contractor can relay questions and problems of a technical nature to the
PCO.
(2) The COR is prohibited from issuing any instruction which would constitute a contractual change.
The COR shall not instruct the contractor how to perform. If there is any doubt whether technical instructions contemplated fall within the scope of work, contact the PCO for guidance before transmitting the instructions to the contractor.
b. Contract Surveillance
(1) The COR shall monitor the contractor's performance and progress under the contract. In performing contract surveillance duties, the COR should exercise extreme care to ensure that he/she does not cross the line of personal services. The COR must be able to distinguish between surveillance (which is proper and necessary) and supervision (which is not permitted). Surveillance becomes supervision when you go beyond enforcing the terms of the contract. If the contractor is directed to perform the contract services in a specific manner, the line is being crossed. In such a situation, the COR's actions would be equivalent to using the contractor's personnel as if they were government employees and would constitute transforming the contract into one for personal services.
(2) The COR shall monitor contractor performance to see that inefficient or wasteful methods are not being used. If such practices are observed, the COR is responsible for taking reasonable and timely action to alert the contractor and the PCO to the situation.
(3) The COR will take timely action to alert the PCO to any potential performance problems. If performance schedule slippage is detected, the COR should determine the factors causing the delay and report them to the PCO, along with the contractor's proposed actions to eliminate or overcome these factors and recover the slippage. Once a recovery plan has been put in place, the COR is responsible for monitoring the recovery and keeping the PCO advised of progress.
(4) If the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) is applicable to the contract you are responsible for completing a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) in the CPARS Automated Information System (AIS). The initial CPAR, under an eligible contract, must reflect evaluation of at least 180 days of contractor performance. The completed CPAR, including contractor comments if any, (NOTE: contractors are allowed 30 days to input their comments) should be available in the CPARS AIS for reviewing official (PCO) review no later than 270 days after start of contract performance. Subsequent CPARs covering any contract option periods should be ready at 1-year intervals thereafter.
c. Invoice Review and Approval/Inspection and Acceptance
(1) The COR is responsible for quality assurance of services performed and acceptance of the services or deliverables. The COR shall expeditiously review copies of the contractor's invoices or vouchers, certificate of performance and all other supporting documentation to determine the reasonableness of the billing. In making this determination, the COR must take into consideration all documentary information available and any information developed from personal observations.
(2) The COR must indicate either complete or partial concurrence with the contractor's invoice/voucher by executing the applicable certificate of performance furnished by the contractor. The COR must be cognizant of the invoicing procedures and prompt payment due dates detailed elsewhere in the contract.
(3) The COR will provide the PCO and the CAO with copies of acceptance documents such as Certificates of Performance.
(4) The COR shall work with the Contractor to obtain and execute a final invoice no more than 60 days after completion of contract performance. The COR shall ensure that the invoice is clearly marked as a “Final Invoice.”
d. Contract Modifications. The COR is responsible for developing the statement of work for change orders or modifications and for preparing an independent government cost estimate of the effort described in the proposed statement of work.
e. Administrative Duties
(1) The COR shall take appropriate action on technical correspondence pertaining to the contract and for maintaining files on each contract. This includes all modifications, government cost estimates, contractor invoices/vouchers, certificates of performance, DD 250 forms and contractor's status reports.
(2) The COR shall maintain files on all correspondence relating to contractor performance, whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and on trip reports for all government personnel visiting the contractor's place of business for the purpose of discussing the contract.
(3) The COR must take prompt action to provide the PCO with any contractor or technical code request for change, deviation or waiver, along with any supporting analysis or other required documentation.
f. Government Furnished Property. When government property is to be furnished to the contractor, the COR will take the necessary steps to insure that it is furnished in a timely fashion and in proper condition for use.
The COR will maintain adequate records to ensure that property furnished is returned and/or that material has been consumed in the performance of work.
Enclosure (1)
g. Security. The COR is responsible for ensuring that any applicable security requirements are strictly adhered to.
h. Standards of Conduct. The COR is responsible for reading and complying with all applicable agency standards of conduct and conflict of interest instructions.
i. Written Report/Contract Completion Statement.
(1) The COR is responsible for timely preparation and submission to the PCO, of a written, annual evaluation of the contractors performance. The report shall be submitted within 30 days prior to the exercise of any contract option and 60 days after contract completion. The report shall include a written statement that services were received in accordance with the Contract terms and that the contract is now available for close-out. The report shall also include a statement as to the use made of any deliverables furnished by the contractor.
(2) If the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) is applicable to the contract you are responsible for completing a final Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) in the CPARS with 30 days of contract completion.
(3) The COR is responsible for providing necessary assistance to the Contracting Officer in performing Contract Close-out in accordance with FAR 4.804, Closeout of Contract Files.

CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED FACILITIES, SENSITIVE
INFORMATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED HEALTH
INFORMATION (April 2017)
Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The Deputy Secretary of Defense Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-006 - "DoD Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive
- 12 (HSPD-12)" dated November 26, 2008 (or its subsequent DoD instruction) directs implementation of HSPD-
12. This clause is in accordance with HSPD-12 and its implementing directives.
APPLICABILITY
This clause applies to contractor employees requiring physical access to any area of a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoN or DoD computer/network/system to perform certain unclassified sensitive duties. This clause also applies to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified by DON as National Security Position, as advised by the command security manager. It is the responsibility of the responsible security officer of the command/facility where the work is performed to ensure compliance.
Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy Command under this contract is required to obtain a Department of Defense Common Access Card (DoD CAC). Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.
ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES
Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required contractor employees shall in-process with the Navy Command's Security Manager upon arrival to the Navy Command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract.
ACCESS TO DOD IT SYSTEMS
In accordance with SECNAV M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to DoN or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI).
All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information Assurance Manager. Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) described below. Due to the privileged system access, a SSBI suitable for High Risk public trusts positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System or Computing Environment they are required to maintain.
Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee's duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy Command's Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract.
Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources.
The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-Ni therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the COR shall sign the SAAR-N as the "supervisor".
The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy Command's Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date may result in delaying the individual's start date.
When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor's Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.
INTERIM ACCESS
The Navy Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a DoD CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.
DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS
The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally-controlled information system/network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.
CONTRACTOR'S SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE
The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the Contractor's Security Representative. Within three work days after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the requiring activity's Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the Contractor's Security Representative. The Contractor's Security Representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The Contractor's Security Representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer and Command Security Manager.
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL PROCESS FOR
CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO NATIONAL SECURITY POSITIONS OR PERFORMING SENSITIVE
DUTIES
Navy security policy requires that all positions be given a sensitivity value based on level of risk factors to ensure appropriate protective measures are applied. Navy recognizes contractor employees under this contract as Non- Critical Sensitive [ADP/IT-II] when the contract scope of work require physical access to a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoD computer/network, to perform unclassified sensitive duties. This designation is also applied to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information (PHI), provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified by
DON as National Security Positions. At a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed NACLC to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position.
The NACLC consists of a standard NAC and a FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit check.
Each contractor employee filling a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position is required to complete:
• SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent OPM investigative product)
• Two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards (or an electronic fingerprint submission)
• Original Signed Release Statements
Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date shall result in delaying the individual's start date. Background investigations shall be reinitiated as required to ensure investigations remain current (not older than 10 years) throughout the contract performance period. The Contractor's Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.
Regardless of their duties or IT access requirements ALL contractor employees shall in-process with the Navy Command's Security Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out- process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract. Employees requiring IT access shall also check-in and check-out with the Navy Command's Information Assurance Manager. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy Command's Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date shall result in delaying the individual's start date.
The contractor shall ensure that each contract employee requiring access to IT systems or networks complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation.
