15A00024Q00000013 Page 21 of 110

A. The Contractor shall ensure that all potential Contractor employees (Candidates) assigned hereunder undergo ATF’s personnel security process to determine their eligibility for access to ATF information, information technology (IT) systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities.

B. The personnel security process will be conducted by or under the auspices of the Personnel Security Division (PSD), Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The Contractor is responsible for providing a Personnel Security Package to the Candidate to complete. Once completed, the Candidate must return the Package to the Contractor so that the Candidate may be screened by the Contractor.

C. The Contractor will conduct the Candidate screening by reviewing each completed form submitted by the Candidate.

The Contractor will make a preliminary determination whether the Candidate possesses a personal history that complies with ATF’s Agency Specific Qualifications (ASQs).

1. If the Contractor has questions or concerns regarding the Candidate’s responses to questions on any of the forms, the Contractor must discuss the responses with ATF’s assigned Contracting Officer (CO)/Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to determine whether ATF will accept the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package for processing.

2. If the Contractor believes that the Candidate’s responses are/will not be in compliance with one or more ASQs, the Contractor will remove the Candidate from consideration and, if warranted, identify a replacement Candidate.

D. Agency-Specific Qualifications (ASQs). ASQs are requirements established by Federal mandates, Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations or policies, and/or ATF regulations or policies that Candidates must be in compliance with prior to being granted access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities. ASQs include:

1. Drug Policy. ATF applies a specific policy to the Candidate’s past and present illegal drug activities to determine whether the Candidate is in compliance with this ASQ. This internal policy is applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.12, Drug Activity Questionnaire, completed as part of the Personnel Security Package.

a) Candidates currently involved in illegal drug activities or substance abuse may be ineligible for hiring.

b) Past involvement in illegal drug activities or substance abuse may disqualify the Candidate if activities were more than minimal and limited.

2. Financial Interests in Regulated Industries. Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 3801.107 states, “…no employee of the ATF, or spouse or minor child of an ATF employee, shall have, directly or indirectly, any financial interest, including compensated employment, in the alcohol, tobacco, firearms or explosives industries." (This includes being listed as a responsible person on a Firearms License or an Explosives License or Permit.) This regulation is applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.44, Licensing Questionnaire, completed as part of the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package, and ATF licensing records to determine if the Candidate complies with this ASQ.

a) The Candidate, his/her spouse, or his/her minor child with a financial interest in a firearms or explosives entity may have to surrender the license/permit and/or the financial interest in the business before the Candidate enters duty.

b) A determination by ATF’s Office of Chief Counsel will be made regarding financial interest held by the Candidate, his/ her spouse, or his/her minor child in the alcohol and tobacco industries prior to the Candidate entering on duty.

3. Financial Responsibilities. The DOJ provides specific regulations and policies relating to a Candidate’s financial obligations and delinquent debts. These regulations and policies are applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.28, Financial History Questionnaire (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package), credit reports/financial data obtained by ATF, and the sensitivity level of the position for which the Candidate is being considered to determine if the Candidate complies with this ASQ.

a) A Candidate who is currently delinquent more than 120 days with any debt must provide to the Contractor evidence of resolution by timely submitting proof of payment, confirmation of participation in or compliance with a payment plan, or proof of a legal remedy.

b) A Candidate who declines to provide evidence of resolution will disqualify the Candidate from eligibility consideration.

4. Prohibited Persons. ATF applies a specific policy to Candidates relating to an individual’s prohibition from possessing or receiving firearms, explosives, and/or ammunition. This policy, based on the prohibitions outlined in the Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C. Chapter 44) and Importation, Manufacture, Distribution, and Storage of Explosives Materials (18 U.S.C.

Chapter 40), is applied to the Candidate’s responses to ATF F 8620.57, Prohibited Persons Questionnaire (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package). ATF will conduct law enforcement and court record checks to determine whether the Candidate complies with this ASQ.

15A00024Q00000013 Page 22 of 110

a) Federal law states that it is unlawful for a person convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence or has a qualifying order of protection against them to possess a firearm or ammunition. The law prohibits these persons from shipping, transporting, or receiving firearms them ammunition.

c) Federal law prohibits the receipt of firearms and ammunition and the receipt or possession of explosives by a person under indictment for a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year.

5. Residency and Citizenship Requirements. The DOJ has specific requirements relating to a Candidate’s residency status and citizenship, including that non-U.S. citizens shall not be authorized access to IT systems. Compliance with this ASQ is determined by identifying the Candidate’s residency status and citizenship through a review of the Candidate’s responses to ATF F 8620.58, Residency and Citizenship (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package); review of the Candidate’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII); determination regarding the type of position applied for by the Candidate; and verification whether the Candidate requires computer access.

a) Residency Requirements. For 3 of the last 5 years, the Candidate must have either resided in the United States, worked for the United States in a foreign country in a Federal or military capacity, and/or been a dependent of a Federal or military employee in a foreign country. (The 3 years need not be consecutive; they may be cumulative during the past 5 years.)

The Candidate must be able to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or proof that they are a foreign national legally permitted to reside in the U.S. in order to work on an ATF contract and gain access to ATF information and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities.

2) Candidates who are non-U.S. citizens may not be authorized access to or assist in the development, operation, management or maintenance of ATF IT systems unless temporary eligibility has been approved by the ATF Director, with the concurrence of the DOJ Chief Information Officer and the Department Security Officer.

6. Selective Service. Although there are a few exceptions, the Military Selective Service Act requires all male U.S. citizens born after December 31, 1959, who are 18 years old but not yet 26 years old to register with the Selective Service.

Male Candidates should access https://www.sss.gov/ to verify that they are registered with the Selective Service. This requirement is applied to male Candidates’ responses on Optional Form (OF) 306, Declaration for Federal Employment.

ATF will also conduct a Selective Service query to determine whether the Candidate complies with the Selective Service Laws and this ASQ.

7. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12). This Directive sets forth policy regarding the completion of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) check prior to the Candidate being provided a federally-issued identification card for a Federal building and access to Government IT systems.

a) When requested by an ATF representative, the Candidate must be able to present (in person for viewing) two forms of original, unexpired government-issued identification in accordance with HSPD-12 requirements (e.g., raised seal birth certificate or current passport, along with a current driver’s license or state-issued photo identification card).

b) The COR or other approved ATF representative must complete a PIV check form and submit it along with the Personnel Security Package to the PSD.

15A00024Q00000013 Page 23 of 110

1. When a Contractor determines that a Candidate is not in compliance with one or more of the ASQs, the Contractor should not submit the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package for personnel security processing and should identify a new Candidate for consideration.

2. When a Contractor makes an initial determination that the Candidate complies with the ASQs, the Contractor should follow the below guidance relating to the E-Verify Program, Tentative Employment Offer, and Employment References.

Once the Contractor completes these responsibilities, the Contractor shall submit the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package to the CO/COR.

F. E-Verify Program. Once the Contractor makes a preliminary determination that the Candidate is in compliance with ATF ASQs, the Contractor must access the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify Program to verify the Candidate’s U.S. employment eligibility, regardless of the Candidate’s citizenship status. If the Contractor cannot verify the Candidate’s employment eligibility, the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package shall not be forwarded to the CO/

COR.

1. Contractors must register for access to the E-Verify Program on-line at https://www.vis-dhs.com/employerregistration/.
