SECTION 9 - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

9.1 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT

9.1.1 During the life of this contract, the contractor's performance will be evaluated on an interim and final basis pursuant to FAR Subpart 42.15. Evaluation will become part of the contract file and will be used as past performance information in evaluating the Contractor's, and any significant subcontractors or affiliates, past performance on future contracts.

9.1.2 Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) is an on-line reporting system https://www.cpars.gov/. The Contractor Performance Report is completed by the COR electronically and sent to the Contractor for review and approval at the end of each performance period as an interim report and at the end of the contract performance as a final report. After review by the Contracting Officer, the report becomes a permanent record of the Contractor's past performance.

9.2 SECURITY

a) To perform the work specified herein, contractor personnel will require access to sensitive data, regular access to HHS-controlled facilities, and/or access to HHS information systems. The Government has determined the position sensitivity under this effort to be Level 1.

b) To gain access to the sensitive data, HHS-controlled facilities, and/or HHS information systems, the Contractor shall comply with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors, and with the personal identity verification and investigation procedures obtained in:

i. HHS Information Security Program Policy, http://www.hhs.gov/ocio/securityprivacy/

ii. HHS Office of Security and Drug Testing, personnel Security/Suitability Handbook, http://www.hhs.gov/ocio/policy/hhs-ocio-2011-0003.html

iii. Reserved

iv. HHS HSPD-12 Implementation Policy (draft)

c) The minimum Government investigation for a non-critical sensitive position is a National Agency Check and Inquiries (with fingerprinting), which consists of searches of records covering specific areas of a person’s background during the past five years. Those inquiries are sent to current and past employers, schools attended, references, and local law enforcement authorities. More restricted positions, above non-sensitive, require more extensive documentation and investigation.

d) Contractors should ensure that the employees whose names they submit have a reasonable chance for access approval. Delays associated with rejections and consequent reinvestigations may not be excusable.

e) Typically, the Government investigates personnel at no cost to the Contractor, but the expense of multiple investigations for the same position is difficult to justify. Consequently, multiple investigations for the same position may, at the Contracting Officer’s discretion, justify reduction(s) in the Contract price of no more than the cost of the extra investigation(s).

f) Language similar to this Security section shall be included in any Sub-Contracts which require Sub-Contractor personnel to have access to an information system, access to sensitive data, regular or prolonged access to an HHS- controlled facility, or any combination of these three.

Project Title Radiological Technologist / Laboratory Assistant Page 16 of 22
