Clauses By Full Text
FBI-0002 Classified Contracts - Contractor Security Requirements (OCT 2024)
Service contracts wherein contractor employees require access to classified information or information systems containing classified information are subject to a number of security requirements that might not be applicable to all Government contracts. The National Industrial Security Program (NISP) was established under EO 12829 as a single integrated program across the Executive Branch designed to safeguard classified information released to contractors. Non-defense agencies such as the Department of Justice/FBI that have industrial security services agreements with the Department of Defense shall use the DD Form 254, “Contract Security Classification Specification,” to provide security classification guidance to U.S. contractors. The NISP and 32 CFR Part 2004 National Industrial Security Operating Manual (NISPOM) require that the contractor be in possession of an approved DD-254 before commencing performance on a covered contract and that the contractor agree to abide by the requirements of the DD-254 in accordance with Federal industrial security regulations.
Companies performing classified contracts with the FBI will have a designated facility security officer (FSO) who will represent the company with respect to personnel security issues. Once a classified contract is awarded, if the contractor employees require access to FBI facilities, classified/protected information, and classified IT systems, a Visitor Access Request (VAR) is required. This is accomplished by the submission of a VAR to the FBI by the awardee company for each contractor employee requiring access. The procedures for executing this process within the FBI are set forth in the FBI’s “Clearance Passage, Clearance Verification, Visitor Access Request, and Department of Energy Q Clearance Policy Guide, 1054PG.” The company will submit VARs for contractor employees to the FBI Security Division’s Redstone Security Unit (RSU).
VARs must contain all the information listed in section 4.3 of 1054PG and will be reviewed by RSU for completeness.
RSU will also conduct appropriate record checks with respect to the individual contractor employee identified in the VAR and will then approve or deny the VAR. RSU reserves the right to deny the VAR if its review discloses derogatory
15F06725Q0000126 Page 9 of 24 information that cannot be mitigated. VAR denials by RSU will be reviewed at a higher level in the Security Division. If the VAR is approved by RSU the company will be notified and the Chief Security Officer of the sponsoring Office/Division will schedule the contractor employees for arrival and access processing along with a Security Awareness Briefing.
All contractor employees granted access to FBI space and FBI information systems shall comply with all FBI security policies and procedures. As such all contractor employees assigned to work in FBI space or access FBI information systems should be briefed by the awardee company on the FBI and DOJ security and personal conduct requirements identified in the contract in advance of arrival. It should be noted that the use of controlled substances by a contractor employee while holding an FBI approved VAR will result in the termination of access and the revocation of the VAR. Any questions that the contractor or contractor personnel may have regarding the applicability of DOJ or FBI contract security requirements will be addressed by the Chief Security Officer (or his or her designees) of the sponsoring Office/Division.
Contractor employees will be required to comply with the FBI’s self-reporting responsibilities as set forth in the Self-reporting Requirements Policy Guide, 1037PG. It is to emphasize that the FBI’s self-reporting obligations in 1037PG are IN ADDITION to any self-reporting obligations contractor employees may have to their company’s FSO. For example, foreign travel and foreign contacts must be reported to the FBI even though a report may have been filed with the company FSO. If a contractor employee is granted SCI access by the FBI, then he or she will also be subject to financial disclosure obligations applicable to FBI personnel holding SCI access.
End of Clause
FBI-0006 Contractor Access to FBI facilities and information (OCT 2024)
Access to FBI facilities and information is subject to specific security and suitability requirements. The FBI reserves the right and prerogative to deny and/or restrict facility and information access of any contractor employee determined by the FBI, at any time prior to or during performance, to be unsuitable for access and/or present a risk of compromising sensitive government information to which he or she would have access to under this contract. Contractors will be allotted a reasonable amount of time, determined by the government, to replace the employee found not suitable for contract performance. Failure to replace the employee may result in a no cost termination by the government.
End of Clause
FBI-0008 Contractor Personnel Financial Disclosure (OCT 2024)
a. Financial Disclosure Requirements
Financial considerations and foreign travel have been identified as significant elements in recent espionage cases.
In response to these threats, Executive Order 12968 established a requirement that all Executive Branch personnel who are granted access to "particularly sensitive classified information" as a condition of such access, file with the agency head an annual financial disclosure report. With the continuous dependency on contractors to support the FBI, to include access to classified information, if a procurement is expected to result in the acquisition of services involving the assignment of contractor personnel to FBI locations, access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and access to the FBI's Secret Network (FBINET) the Program Management Officer/Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), in coordination with the assigned Chief Security Officer, are required to identify during procurement planning stages, whether an acquisition will require the anticipated contract to include the Special Security Requirement identified below.
b.Special Security Requirement:
Security Requirements Applicable to Contractor Personnel Assigned to FBI Locations, with Access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and the FBI Secret Network (FBINET), or those selected by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI. Requirements are applicable to all individuals to be assigned to FBI locations, to include those identified as "Key Personnel", if specified in the contract, who will require access to FBI locations, SCI and FBINET, or those selected by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI. Award of this contract is anticipated to result in the assignment of contractor personnel to FBI controlled or occupied space with access to SCI and the FBINET. As such, all contractor personnel assigned to such space with access to SCI and FBINET, or those selected by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI, are required to file an annual Security Financial Disclosure Form (SFDF). Information
15F06725Q0000126 Page 10 of 24 collected through these filings is used to help make personnel security determinations including whether to allow access to classified information, sensitive areas, and equipment; or to permit assignment to sensitive national security positions.
The data may be subsequently used as part of a review process to evaluate continued eligibility for access to classified information or as evidence in legal proceedings. Upon request, contractor employees required to file must:
i. Submit an annual financial disclosure form electronically using the SFDF. The SFDF is a web-based form that is accessible only through the FBI Intranet. Every form submitted undergoes automated analysis and is stored in a secure database.
ii. Sign and submit consent form Personnel Consent to Release Information, (FD-979) to the assigned FBI Chief Security Officer. (The consent form is used only if deemed necessary by the FBI in the event of a financial review. If a filer submitted the consent form in a previous year, he/ she would be required to resubmit only the form if requested to do so by the assigned FBI Chief Security Officer).
iii. Include all requested information pertaining to the filer, his or her spouse, and any dependent children. A filer whose spouse or dependent(s) refuse to provide financial information should explain the circumstances of this refusal in the Comments Section of the SFDF. The filer may be subject to penalties, including having access to classified information suspended, revoked, or denied. Individual circumstances are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
iv. Not omit or provide false or misleading information on an SFDF. Filings are reviewed for accuracy and completeness, and filers may be contacted by FBI employees/contractors assigned the responsibility of the Financial Disclosure Program regarding any potential discrepancies and/or omissions. Contractor employees who meet the sited criteria are required to file and are responsible for the successful completion of the SFDF process. Refusal to submit financial disclosure information could result in the immediate removal of the employee from FBI space, restricted access to FBI information or denial of unescorted access to FBI facilities.
Exceptions will be resolved on a case-by-case basis. If contract performance is impacted as a result of removal of the employee, the contractor may be found in default of the contract. If a contractor employee terminates employment and/or assignment to the FBI prior to the reporting requirement, the contractor employee is not required to file.
End of Clause
FBI-0009 FBI Security Requirements for Contractor Personnel (OCT 2024)
Requirements are applicable to all individuals to be assigned to FBI locations, to include those identified as "Key Personnel", if specified in the contract. The contractor shall plan for expected attrition through advanced preparation and submission of required information. Award of this contract is anticipated to result in assignment of contractor personnel to FBI controlled or occupied space.

FBI-0010 Contractor Personnel Consent to Warrantless Search (OCT 2024)
All cleared personnel accessing information within FBI controlled space are required to execute an FBI Form FD 1001 Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice (DOJ) Workplaces as a condition of working at FBI facilities.
The FBI's Director implemented the Attorney General's policy subjecting employees to warrantless physical searches of their offices or immediate workplaces within DOJ premises when authorized by the Attorney General (AG) or the Deputy Attorney General (DAG) based upon a determination that information the Department deems credible indicates that the employee:
1) is, or may be, disclosing classified information in an unauthorized manner;
2) has incurred excessive indebtedness or has acquired a level of affluence that cannot be reasonably explained by other information;
15F06725Q0000126 Page 12 of 24
3) had the capability and opportunity to disclose classified information that is believed to have been lost or compromised to a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power; or
4) has repeatedly or significantly mishandled or improperly stored classified information.
The search may extend to the entire office or workplace and anything within it that might hold classified information, including locked containers (such as briefcases) and electronic storage media (such as computer disk and handheld computers), whether owned by the government, by the employee, or by a third party. The search may be conducted by appropriate FBI personnel and/or law enforcement officers, on an announced or unannounced basis, during the workday or after hours. If discovered during a search, evidence of misconduct - whether related to storage or classified information, storage of sensitive but unclassified information, or a crime - will be collected and reported to appropriate authorities.
Contractor personnel who will meet the above criteria will be required to sign Form FD 1001 Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice (DOJ) Workplaces (attached) upon award and forward the executed form(s) to the assigned Contracting Officer's Representative designated in Section G of the solicitation if this is a formal solicitation or listed below. All forms will be retained by the FBI during the period the individual is providing services and two years after that individual's departure before final disposition is taken.

FBI-0023 Federal Bureau of Investigation Electronic Invoicing Requirement (JUL 2024)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) requires vendors to submit a proper invoice and supporting documentation electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). IPP is a secure, web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Treasury) in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency.
Invoice Submission
Vendors are required to create and submit electronic invoices using the IPP system. All supporting documentation shall be uploaded into the IPP system.
Invoices must be submitted at least monthly but no more than bi-weekly. Final invoices must be submitted 30 days after the end date of the period of performance.
Invoices submitted by email will not be accepted. This requirement applies immediately upon contract award. For contract-specific questions, please contact the contracting officer.

FBI-0027 Prohibition on Using a Covered Application (No TikTok on Government Devices Act) (Nov 2023)
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, enacted the No TikTok on Government Devices Act (“the Act”), which instructs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with the Administrator of General Services, the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Secretary of Defense, to develop standards and guidelines for agencies requiring the removal of TikTok from Federal information technology.

133.2 This memorandum applies to all “information technology,” as that term is defined in 40 U.S.C. § 11101(6) (herein after referred to as “IT”).
That definition reaches not only IT owned or operated by agencies, but also IT “used by a contractor under a contract with the executive agency that requires the use of that IT, whether expressly or “to a significant extent in the (Pub. L.
No. 117-328, div.

15F06725Q0000126 Page 16 of 24 policy maintain the documentation required and take all necessary actions to mitigate risk posed by covered applications.
Such actions shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer for HCA approval.
