SECTION B. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

B.1 Security Support Requirements.

The Contractor shall perform comprehensive security and safety support functions. Administrative duties include, but are not limited to, acquiring information, tracking action statuses, maintaining operational supply inventories, and utilizing systems such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint), SharePoint (ASPECT, Task Tracker), and similar data programs.

Core access control duties include tracking badge applications, verifying security clearance information in the Defense Information System for Security (DISS), processing access authorizations, and printing/encoding Common Access Cards (CAC) and Restricted Area (RA) Entry Control Badges. The Contractor shall also conduct badging accountability, process retrieval requests, and manage foreign visit requests.

The Contractor shall provide physical access control support at designated Restricted Area (RA) gates, primarily Gate 13 (APG North). The Contractor shall review access credentials and expedite and coordinate visitor and delivery entries during prescribed duty hours.

System Familiarization and Procedural Compliance:

The Contractor is expected to provide personnel who possess baseline proficiency in standard security systems (e.g., DISS). However, the Government recognizes that local configurations for systems such as Lenel and specific ATC workflows require site-specific familiarization. Therefore, the Government will provide the ATC VCC Internal Operating Procedure (IOP) and associated system user guides as Government-Furnished Information (GFI) to serve as the baseline security standard and technical reference.

Upon contract award, the Government will provide initial site orientation and system familiarization exclusively to the Contractor's Program Manager (PM) or designated Lead.

Furthermore, the Contractor shall develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive Contractor Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The Contractor's SOP shall detail how the Contractor will independently manage workflows, delegate daily tasks, and conduct internal quality control to achieve the security outcomes established in the Government's IOP.
