(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM in-formation that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect inform-ation within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.
(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims).

(u) Unauthorized Obligations(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:
(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.
(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it ap-pearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.
(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.
(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.
(v) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor's representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the

52.24-403-70 Notice of Contractor Personnel Security Requirements (OCT 2005)
Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) 1 entitled "Personal Identification Verification (PIV) for Federal Employees and Contractors," Phase I.
1. Long-Term Contractor Personnel:
In order to be compliant with HSPD-12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long-term 2 con-tractor employee whose background investigation (BI) process begins on or after October 27, 2005:
a. Contractor Personnel must present two forms of identification in original form prior to badge issuance (acceptable documents are listed in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture ID);
b. Contractor Personnel must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official who is responsible for checking the identification documents. This identity proofing must be completed sometime during the clearance process but prior to badge issuance and must be documented by the DOJ official;
c. Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position.
Outlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level:
• High Risk - Background Investigation (5 year scope)
• Moderate Risk - Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum Background Investigation (MBI)
• Low Risk - National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation
d. The pre-appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a:
1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
2) Favorable fingerprint results;
3) Favorable credit report, if required;3
4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level;
and
5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) 4 portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk level.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements.
If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Se-curity Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results).
e. Badge re-validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated. If the BI results so justify, badges is-sued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.
2. Short-Term Contractor Personnel:
It is the policy of the DOJ that short-term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a. and 1b. above. The pre-appointment waiver re-quirements for short-term contractors are:
a. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
b. Favorable fingerprint results;
c. Favorable credit report, if required;5 and
d. Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commen-surate BI does not need to be initiated.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of is-suance. This process can only be used once for a short-term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecutive short-term appointments are subject to the full PIV-I identity proofing process.
For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four-week period, this contractor would be cleared according to the above short-term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve-month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four-week period, this contractor would now be considered "long-term" and must be cleared according to the long-term requirements as stated in this interim policy.
3. Intermittent Contractors:
An exception to the above-mentioned short-term requirements would be intermittent contractors.
a. For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/ or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For ex-ample, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one-year contract.
b. Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy. Please reference the August 11, 2004, and January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted ac-cess.
c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contract-or, the same pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short-term contractors are required.
d. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space.
RFQP05051600009 Page 12 of 51
e. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re-approved each year.
4. An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re-adjudicated provided the individual has a current (within the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD-12 and DOJ's BI requirements.
5. The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice.
Notes:
1. FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS-201-022505.pdf
2. Under HSPD-12, long-term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV-I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background investiga-tion, is required for all new long-term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second phase of HSPD-12 implementation (PIV-II) requires badge issuance to all affected long-term contractors.
3. For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.
4. In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations to OPM. Per OPM ' s instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code " 3" must be placed in block " B " of the " Agency Use Only " section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types.
5.For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.

(b) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for issuing and administering regulations that require contractors to apprise its employees of all hazards to which they may be exposed in the course of their employment; proper conditions and precautions for safe use and exposure; and related symptoms and emergency treatment in the event of exposure.
(c) Prior to commencement of work, contractors are required to inspect for and report to the contracting officer or designee the pres-ence of, or suspected presence of, any unsafe condition including asbestos or other hazardous materials or working conditions in areas in which they will be working.
(d) If during the performance of the work under this contract, the contractor or any of its employees, or subcontractor employees, dis-covers the existence of an unsafe condition, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer, or designee, (with written notice provided not later than three (3) working days thereafter) of the existence of an unsafe condition. Such notice shall include the contractor's recommendations for the protection and the safety of Government, contractor and subcontractor personnel and property that may be exposed to the unsafe condition.
(e) When the Government receives notice of an unsafe condition from the contractor, the parties will agree on a course of action to mitigate the effects of that condition and, if necessary, the contract will be amended. Failure to agree on a course of action will consti-tute a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.
(f) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the contractor or subcontractors from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material including but not limited to the use, disturbance, or disposal of such material.
