In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in Contractor security matters or processes.

1.9.3. Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS). The DBIDS is a DoW-owned and operated system developed by Defense Manpower Data Center as a force protection program to manage personnel identity and access at DoW installations. DBIDS is a network database system designed to easily verify access authorization of personnel entering military installations by using barcodes and fingerprint biometric identifications.

To obtain base access, an individual needs to acquire DoW sponsorship, have a thorough identity check, be properly vetted, and have a legitimate reason for base access. Identity checks require a passport or a Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license. Vetting occurs when the individual's https://atlevel1.dtic.mil/at background and ID are compared against authoritative criminal justice databases, and the individual has a letter or official document from the sponsoring organization which articulates the reason for access. When the above criteria are satisfactorily met, DBIDs credentials are issued.

Additional information is available at https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html.

1.9.4. Contractor Unclassified Access to Federally Controlled Facilities, Sensitive Information, IT Systems or Protected Health Information. 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 – “DoW Implementation of HSPD-12” dated November 26, 2008 (or its subsequent DoW instruction) directs implementation of HSPD-12. This clause is IAW HSPD-12 and its implementing directives.

APPLICABILITY

This clause applies to Contract Employees requiring physical access to any area of a federally controlled base, facility, or activity and/or requiring access to a DoN or DoW computer/network/system to perform certain unclassified sensitive duties. This clause also applies to Contract Employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified as National Security Position, as advised by the command security manager. It is the responsibility of the security officer of the command/facility where the work is performed to ensure compliance.

Each Contract Employee providing services at a Navy Command under this contract is required to obtain a DoW Common Access Card (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 Contract Employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause shall require a DoW CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required Contract 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.

ACCESS TO DOD IT SYSTEMS

In accordance with SECNAVINST 5510.30, Contract Employees who require access to DoN or DoW networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAVINST 5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information. All Contract 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.

https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html

Contract 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 T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High-Risk national security positions are 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 shall 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 Contract Employee’s duties, such contract 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 SAAR-N form is required for all Contract Employees accessing Navy IT 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 will sign the SAAR-N as the “supervisor”.

The COR shall forward the SAAR-N (CDRL A005) NLT five days after the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation 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 Contract 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 Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a DoW CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoW 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, Contractor Employees working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and the Contractor shall not be relieved of the 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. The Contractor shall plan ahead in processing its 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 workdays after contract award, the Contractor shall provide to the requiring activity’s Security Manager and the KO, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the Contractor’s Security Representative (CDRL A006). 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 KO 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. Contract Employees under this contract are recognized as Non-Critical Sensitive [ADP/IT-II] positions when the contract scope of work requires physical access to a federally controlled base, facility or activity, and/or access to a DoW computer/network, to perform unclassified sensitive duties. This designation is also applied to Contract Employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified as National Security Positions. At a minimum, each Contract Employee shall be a U.S. citizen and have a favorably completed 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 an FBI fingerprint check plus law enforcement checks and credit checks. Each Contract Employee filling a non-critical sensitive or IT-II position shall complete:

• SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions (or equivalent OPM investigative product)

• Electronic Fingerprint submission (or two FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Cards)

• Original Signed Release Statements

Failure to provide the required documentation as listed above may 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 Contract 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 performance under the contract. 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 SAAR-N form, and mandatory training is required for all individuals accessing Navy IT resources. The Contractor shall forward the SAAR-N and AT Level 1 Awareness Training certificate of completion to the COR at least 5 calendar days after the contract start date, and for new hires their performance start date. Failure to provide the required documentation on time may result in delaying the individual’s network access 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. Contract 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 Contract 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 DoW Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for a determination.

If the Contract Employee already possesses a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the Contractor shall submit a Visit Authorization Request (VAR) via the Defense Information System for Security (DISS) or a hard copy VAR directly from the Contractor’s Security Representative. Although the Contractor shall take DISS “Owning” role over the Contract Employee, the Navy Command will take DISS "Servicing" role over the Contract Employee during the hiring process and for the duration of assignment under that contract. The Contractor shall include the IT Position Category per SECNAVINST 5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee’s performance under the contract.

Work under this contract is CLASSIFIED or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for Contract Employees at NSEOD and CUI (i.e., UNCLASSIFIED) for Contract Employees at NDSTC and CEODD DET GL. The Personnel Security Administrative Support position at NDSTC works with classified information. In addition, the work at all commands requires access to Government facilities, DoN unclassified information systems, sensitive unclassified information, and the issuance of a CAC. Per SECNAVINST 5510.30C, all positions for this work are categorized as Noncritical Sensitive and require a favorably adjudicated Tier 3 (T3) background investigation.
