For some courses ("Format A"), participants arrive at the off-site location prior to lunch on Monday, and de-part after lunch on Friday. For others ("Format B"), participants arrive after lunch on Monday, and depart after lunch on Friday. De-parture time on Friday is approximately 2:00 - 3:00 pm. Off-site sessions are scheduled well in advance and dates will be communic-ated in advance. Training staff may arrive one day prior to the “Format A” course on Sunday, requiring an individual room and addi-tional dinner and breakfast meal.

3. Removal from Duty

The Government may direct that a contractor be removed immediately from the work site(s) should it be de-termined that the person is unfit for the job. A determination of unfitness may be made from, but not limited to, incidents involving the most immediate identifiable types of misconduct or delinquency as set forth below:

*Falsification or unlawful concealment, removal, mutilation or destruction of any official documents or records, or concealment of material facts by willful omissions from other documents or records;

4. Contractor Self-Identification

All contractor personnel attending meetings, answering Government telephones, and/or working in other situ-ations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public, of other government personnel or Congress that they are Government officials. Contractor personnel must also ensure that all documents or reports pro-duced by them are suitably marked as contractor products or that contractor participation is appropriately dis-closed. This direction shall be adhered to unless otherwise waived, in writing, by the cognizant Contracting Of-ficer.

At no time will any contractor utilize letterhead for any correspondence between the contractor and any other entity depicting or intimating that the Contractor is a member/employee of the U.S. Government, either as an in-dividual or as a company/corporation.
