Contractor Unclassified Access to Federally Controlled Facilities, Sensitive Information, Information Technology (IT) Systems or Protected Health Information (July 2013)
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 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-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 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 T1 background investigation completed through the government security manager. 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.*
BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND SECURITY APPROVAL
PROCESS FOR CONTRACTORS ASSIGNED TO OR PERFORMING NON-SENSITIVE
DUTIES
Contractor employee whose work is unclassified and non-sensitive and who require physical access to publicly accessible areas to perform those duties shall meet the following minimum requirements:
• Must be either a US citizen or a US permanent resident with a minimum of 3 years legal residency in the United States (as required by The Deputy Secretary of Defense DTM 08-006 or its subsequent DoD instruction) and
• Must have a favorably completed National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or T1 investigation to include a FBI fingerprint check prior to installation access.
To be considered for a favorable trustworthiness determination, the Contractor’s Security Representative must coordinate with the base security representative to ensure contract employees complete a T1 investigation. The government must be the submitting organization to submit the T1 investigation which includes:
• Completion of an SF-85 Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive positions through National Background Investigation Services (NBIS)
• Digital/electronic fingerprint submission
The government shall ensure each individual employee has a current favorably adjudicated investigation prior to performance on the contract or credentials being issued in support of the contract.
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.
* Consult with your Command Security Manager for local policy when non-US citizens are considered for contractor support and T1 equivalency requirements based on each country.
Credentialing for contracts who have a favorably completed T1 investigation would include a Command Access Card (CAC) as appropriate. Alternatively, Defense Biometric Identification Systems (DBIDS) credentials can be issued for base access through the local security office and Network Enterprise Alternate Token (NEATS) are authorized for contractors who require logistic or network access for government systems.
Contracting Officer’s Representative
The Contracting Office Representative (COR) will be appointed at the time of the Award.
