Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property must comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

7.4 Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel must receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program.
