INFORMATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED HEALTH

INFORMATION

The following shall be inserted in full text in all solicitations and contracts (including commercial acquisitions) which require contractor unclassified access to federally controlled facilities, sensitive information, Information

Technology (IT) systems or protected health information. For commercial acquisitions, this text shall be incorporated into either the SOW or PWS.

The security text does not apply in cases where the contractor/vendor does not have access to Navy Marine Corps

Intranet (NMCI) computers, is not issued a Common Access Card (CAC) and is involved in training or other short term duties of less than 30 days duration that allow for the use of a visitor request. In these cases, the government employee must submit a Visitor Access Request (VAR) to the main gate or applicable processing entity for your facility and assume responsibility to escort those without CAC Credentials.

This local text does not apply to non-United States (U.S.) Nationals (foreign nationals) who are contactor employees performing work overseas. The local text is applicable to the U.S. Nationals living in the U.S. or overseas who are performing work on a Navy contract.

The investigation of a non-U.S. national at a foreign location must be consistent with a National Agency Check with

Written Inquiries (NACI), to the extent possible and include a fingerprint check against the Federal Bureau of

Investigation (FBI) criminal history database, an FBI investigations file (name check) search and a name check against the terrorist screening database. Also, the above cited reference notes that Foreign Nationals may not be granted CAC credentials until completion of their investigation and not in the interim.

Per Department of Defense Memorandum (DoDM) 5200.2, Department of Defense (DoD) components must initiate and ensure completion of a background investigation before applying the credentialing standards to a non-U.S.

national at a foreign location. The background investigation must be favorably adjudicated before a CAC can be issued to a non-U.S. national at a foreign location. The type of background investigation may vary based on standing reciprocity treaties concerning identity assurance and information exchanges that exist between the U.S. and its allies or agency agreements with the host country.
