3.0 HANDLING – The contractor shall be responsible for all articles of laundry (Government-owned) in his possession. When the laundry is in possession of the Contractor, it shall be adequately stored and protected. Mixing of dirty and clean articles is prohibited. The laundry facility shall ensure solid physical separation between clean and contaminated linen at the laundry facility. A positive/negative air flow shall be established between these spaces. Laundry that has been segregated shall be returned in the same manner.

Billing should be made based on finished clean weight rather than soiled. Daily reconciliation will be maintained by the hospital. Average variance between clean and soiled weight should not exceed 8 percent.

4.0 VEHICLE / EQUIPMENT-

4.1 Vehicles used to transport laundry shall be clean, conform to commercial standards, and be equipped to protect against laundry contamination. Clean and contaminated (soiled) linen may be maintained in transport simultaneously, within the same vehicle, as long as it is contained in distinctly separate, covered containers. Vehicles shall be subject to examination at any time by the Surveillance Officer.

5.0 INVOICING – The Contractor shall invoice on a monthly basis by line item. Contractor shall provide a copy of delivery receipts with each invoice. The Contractor shall also attach tares to the monthly invoice and each delivery receipt.

6.0 LOST / DAMAGED LAUNDRY – Replacement or repair of any lost or damaged laundry shall be in accordance with the clause entitled “252.237-7015 Loss or Damage (Weight of Articles) (Dec 1991)”.

6.1 Unserviceable linen (not fit for use) shall be identified by the contractor prior to packaging and shipment to the customer. This shall be an integral part of the contractor’s Quality Control Plan (See Para. 11.0). Linen identified as unserviceable shall be packaged (bagged) separately from “finished work” identified as such and returned to the customer. Final determination as to the disposition of such linen shall be at the discretion of the customer.

7.0 BASKETS – The Government shall furnish roller baskets to transport Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) laundry to and from the contractor’s facility. All carts shall be cleaned and sanitized prior to being loaded with freshly laundered goods. Clean linen shall be protected with clean (new) plastic covers or bags prior to being loaded for delivery. Clinic locations have a significantly less amount of laundry than the NHB, so bags or contractor owned bins would be appropriate.

8.0 PROCESS - The Contractor shall process the laundry in accordance with industry standards as follows:

8.1 Perform any necessary pre-wash sorting.

8.2 All blood work shall be handled separately from other soiled linen. Wash formula must insure removal of bloodstains and contaminants. The use of chlorine based compounds shall be reserved for blood work and stain reclamation (Stain Wash). Non-chlorine based compounds shall be employed to remove stains on all other linen, as they are much less inclined to produce “premature fabric degradation” (tensile strength loss) and do not produce permanent stains when interacting with certain hospital anti-microbial agents, i.e. Hibiclens.

8.3 All laundry shall be washed in such a manner as to remove or destroy all pathogenic bacteria.

8.4 Wash, dry, and fold all items.

8.5 Iron all flat work (sheets, pillowcases).

8.6 Items determined by the Surveillance Officer to be re-laundered (e.g. excessive lint/ stains, etc.), will be accomplished at no charge, and shall not exceed 5%, during any monthly period. The Surveillance Officer will track all re-laundry services.

8.7 OR wraps and surgical field towels are required to be lint-free and should not be ironed. These articles shall be laundered separately from other hospital linen, without the use of fabric softeners, as these and all chemical residuals impede the sterilization process.

8.8 Clean laundry shall be sorted, weighed, and packaged (secured) by like color and kind (i.e. patient gowns with patient gowns, I.V. gowns with I.V. gowns, etc). Scrubs will be sorted by color and separated by size. Sample packaging requirements will be provided to the contractor if required, for employee training and to ensure that specifications are understood and met.

8.9 Laundry will be returned in sanitized baskets covered with clean (new) plastic covers or bags.

8.10 Any items found on or in laundry (nametag, pin, needles, syringes, etc), during the receipt, process or return of laundry by either the Contractor or Government will be reported to the Surveillance Officer.

8.11 Wool and synthetic articles are to be dried using low heat to prevent deleterious effects. Adequate

“cool down” of synthetic textiles and (cotton poly) blends shall be achieved to prevent flash melting. Permanent Press articles shall be removed from dryers “slightly damp”. It is preferred that these articles be further processed using “Steam Tunnels” or some similar piece of equipment

9.0 DELAYS – The Contractor shall notify the surveillance officer at the hospital when an equipment malfunction or other problem will cause delay in pick-up or delivery of laundry.

10.0 CONTAMINATED LINENS-

10.1 All soiled hospital linen is considered to be contaminated / infectious and will be handled accordingly. Contractor management must ensure that appropriate personal protective equipment / garb is worn by laundry personnel who handle soiled hospital linens. The Contractor must comply with all local, state, and federal regulations and/or laws pertaining to the transportation, and handling of linens contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms.

10.2 The Contractor must have facilities available whereby goods contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms/diseases can be received, and stored separately from clean linen.

10.3 The Contractor must remove or destroy all contaminates, pathogenic bacteria and other agents in the laundering process and prevent the reintroduction of such agents to the linens.

10.4 All soiled linen covered by this contract shall be considered contaminated and shall at all times be kept physically separated from clean linen during the processing and/or transit.

10.5 Soiled linen from patients with communicable diseases shall be placed in specially marked double-bags provided by the Contractor.

10.6 Soiled nursery linen shall be washed separately from other hospital linens. This linen must remain soft, with the souring process adequate to maintain optimal skin compatibility.

10.7 Laundry carts and bags must be handled, transported by the Contractor in such a manner as to alleviate the possibility of cross-contamination of clean linen by soiled line, i.e. sanitizing of carts, bags, and hampers after soiled linen transport.

10.8 Any physical barriers interposed between clean and soiled linen must be impervious to penetration by any and all disease agents.

10.9 Delivery Ticket. The Contractor shall provide a piece count of items processed with all clean laundry returned. Such record shall be typed or computer generated, with items listed on an 8 ½” x 11” sheet or form. Total weight figures (at Contractor’s place of business) for incoming (soiled) and outgoing (finished work) shall also be reflected on the delivery ticket. Piece count and weight information will be used by the government to verify invoices for payment and as an inventory management tool to identify linen replacement requirements.

11.0 WORK STANDARDS - All workmanship, including delivery, shall be of Best Management

Practices (BMPs) of the healthcare laundry and dry cleaning industries.

11.1 Contractor shall be accredited by the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) and certified by the Textile Rental Service Association (TRSA), producing consistently “Hygienically Clean” results.

11.2 The Contractor must have a quality control manual, which ensures compliance with The Joint

Commission (TJC), (HLAC), (TRSA), Washington Automated Code (WAC) and all applicable infectious disease requirements. The QC Manual shall also address Exposure Control Plan (ECP), inventory management, handling, re-laundry, and loss and damage of items.

11.3 The Contractor shall inform the Government of all cleaning agents used for hospital/clinic laundering and shall inform the Government immediately of any change in cleaning agents.

11.3a The chemical TCC (Trichlorcarbonide) shall not be used in hospital laundering because of potential harm to newborn infants.

11.3 b A germicidal or Bacteriostatic textile agent shall be used in the final rinse as additional protection against bacterial growth.

11.4 In addition to TJC guidelines, all linen articles are to be washed and finished as specified in accordance with the following industry standards:

11.4.a Laundry will be free of contaminates and pathogenic bacteria (“Hygienically Clean”).

11.4.b Fabrics will be clean of all soils, spots, and stains.

11.4.c All work will be of a uniform high quality, entirely clean, dry, and free of excessive lint.

11.4.d. Linen articles will be free of objectionable odors.

WORK/PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT.

Contractor Unclassified Access to Federally Controlled Facilities, Sensitive Information, Information Technology (IT) Systems or Protected Health Information

Executive Order 13467, Reforming Processes Related to Suitability for Government Employee, Fitness for Contractor Employees and Eligibility for Access to Classified National Security Information, Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The 5 CFR 32 Part 157 in concert with DoD Manual 1000.13, Vol 1, implements the Federal Standards.

APPLICABILITY

This text applies to all DoD sponsored individuals who require CAC eligibility (or login and P/W if acceptable per contract) for: Physical access to DoD facilities or non-DoD facilities on behalf of DoD;

Logical access to information systems (whether on site or remotely); or remote access to DoD networks that use only the CAC logon for user authentication, or access to sensitive and protected information. This applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Departments, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the DoD, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities and all other organizational entities within the DoD (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "DoD Components").

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 Command’s Security Manager upon arrival to the Command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract.

START-UP PERIOD

All contractor resource onboarding documents must be submitted via the prime contractor. The prime contractor shall make all necessary preparations to assume full responsibility for productive performance of the performance start date.

Definition of “productive”:

a. Visit Authorization Request (VAR)

b. Contractor Information Sheet (CIS)

c. Completed EQIP (Electronic Investigation)

d. All contractor resource(s) must have an active JPAS profile.

e. Common Access Card (CAC)

Note (1): Invoicing by the contractor will begin as of the commencement of the performance period of services and no reimbrusement will be paid by the government for efforts expended during the start-up period.

Note (2): Foreign Nationals are not allowed acces sot the functional/system side of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

ACCESS TO DOD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ( IT) SYSTEMS

In accordance with (IAW) Secretary of the Navy (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 M5510.30, includes positions which require access to sensitive information. Sensitive information includes 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 System Security Manager (ISSM)/Information Assurance Manager

(IAM).

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation , which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security 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 CSM and ISSM/IAM 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-N; 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 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 Cyber Awareness 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 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. Contractor employees under this contract are recognized as NonCritical Sensitive [ADP/IT-II] positions 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 as National Security Positions. At a minimum, each contractor employee must be a US citizen and have a favorably completed NACLC or T3 or T3R equivalent investigation to obtain a favorable determination for assignment to a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position. The investigation 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 CSM upon arrival to the 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 ISSM/IAM. 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 Cyber Awareness training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation.

Contractor employees shall accurately complete the required investigative forms prior to submission to the Command Security Manager. The Command’s Security Manager will review the submitted documentation for completeness prior to submitting it to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM); Potential suitability or security issues identified may render the contractor employee ineligible for the assignment.

An unfavorable determination is final (subject to SF-86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual obligation under the contract. The Command’s Security Manager will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DoD Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

If the contractor employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the contractor shall submit a Visit Authorization Request (VAR) via the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) or a hard…
