If, during the performance period of the contract the Contractor changes insurance providers, the Contractor must provide evidence that the Government will be indemnified to the limits specified in paragraph (a) of this clause, for the entire period of the contract, either under the new policy, or a combination of old and new policies.

(f)The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (f), in all subcontracts under this contract for health care services and shall require such subcontractors to provide evidence of and maintain insurance in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause.

(b) Per FAR Subpart 1.404(a): The Contracting Officer (CO) determines that this contract requires a Contracting Officer Representative (COR).The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) is:

TBD at time of award

(c) Upon award, the COR will receive a copy of the written designation, specifying the extent of the COR’s authority on behalf of the CO.

(d) Limitations.

NAIHS-ACQ-09 UNAUTHORIZED COMMITMENTS NOV 2025

(a) Definitions.

Contracting Officer means a person with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determination and findings.

Ratification means the act of approving an unauthorized commitment by an official who has the authority to do so.

Unauthorized Commitment (UAC) means an agreement that is not binding solely because the Government representative who made it lacked the authority to enter into that agreement on behalf of the Government.

(b) Policy.

The Government is not bound by agreements with, or contractual commitments made to, prospective contractors by individuals who do not have delegated contracting authority. Unauthorized commitments do not follow the appropriate process for the expenditure of Government funds. Consequently, the Government may not be able to ratify certain actions, putting a contractor at risk for taking direction from a Federal official other than the contracting officer (see FAR 1.403-2) Government employees responsible for unauthorized commitments are subject to disciplinary action. Contractors perform at their own risk when accepting direction from unauthorized officials. Failure to follow statutory and regulatory processes for the expenditure of Government funds is a very serious matter.

(c) Procedure.

Any agreement, modification, or change to a contractual agreement made by a government personnel who lack authority will be deemed an unauthorized commitment. The Government is not liable to the Contractor or under the terms of the contract, financially or otherwise – unless the unauthorized commitment successfully passes the ratification process.

The ratification process does not have any lead time, nor does the Government make any promise that an unauthorized commitment will be ratified and, therefore, the Contractor would be paid. The Contractor proceeds at its own risk if any of the terms of the contract are altered, changed, or modified without the written concurrence by a Contracting Officer.

NAIHS-ACQ-10 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT NOV 2025

NAIHS-ACQ-11 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL SECURITY AND

ACCESS

MAY 2025

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Agency access means access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources.

Applicant means a contractor employee for whom the Contractor applies for a NAIHS identification card.

Contractor employee means a prime contractor and subcontractor employee who requires agency access to perform work under a NAIHS contract.

Identification card (or “ID card”) means a government issued or accepted identification card such as a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card.

Issuing office means the NAIHS entity that issues identification cards to contractor employees.

Local security servicing organization means the NAIHS entity that provides security services to the NAIHS organization sponsoring the contract.

(b) Risk and sensitivity level designations. For contracts requiring access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources, contractor employees will be required to complete background investigations, identity proofing, and government identification card application procedures to determine suitability for access. NAIHS will assign a risk and sensitivity level designation to the overall contract and/or to contractor employee positions by category, group or individual. The risk and sensitivity level designations will be the basis for determining the level of personnel security processing required for contractor employees. The following risk and sensitivity level designations and associated level of processing are required, and each level includes the prior levels—

(1) Tier 1 Non-Sensitive, Low risk level: National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI);

(2) Tier 2 Non-Sensitive (Public Trust), Moderate risk level: Minimum Background Investigation (MBI);

and

(3) Tier 4 Non-Sensitive (Public Trust), High risk level: Background Investigation.

(c) Pre-screening of contractor employees. The Contractor must pre-screen individuals designated for employment under any NAIHS contract by verifying minimal suitability requirements to ensure that only candidates that appear to meet such requirements are considered for contract employment, and to mitigate the burden on the Government of conducting background investigations on objectionable applicants. The Contractor must exercise due diligence in pre-screening all employees prior to submission to NAIHS for agency access. NAIHS may decline to grant agency access to a contractor employee for reasons including, but not limited to the following activities under 5 CFR 731, P.L. 101-630, and P.L. 101-647—

(1) Conviction of a felony, a crime of violence, or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;

(2) Falsification of information entered on forms or of other documents submitted;

(3) Improper conduct including criminal, infamous, dishonest, immoral, or notoriously disgraceful conduct or other conduct adverse to the Government regardless of whether the conduct is directly related to the contract; and

(4) Any behavior judged to pose a potential threat to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other resources.

(d) Citizenship status. The Contractor must monitor a non-citizen's continued authorization for employment in the United States. The Contractor must provide documentation to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) during the background investigation process that validates that the E-Verify requirement has been met for each contractor employee. If applicable, refer to the incorporated clause at 52.222-54 Employment Eligibility Verification.

(e) Background investigation and adjudication. A contractor employee must have a suitable pre-employment adjudication of background investigation before NAIHS will issue an ID card to the contractor employee granting access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources. NAIHS may accept favorable adjudications of background investigations from other Federal agencies when applicants have held PIV cards issued by those agencies with no break in service. A favorable adjudication does not preclude NAIHS from initiating a new investigation when deemed necessary. At a minimum, the FBI National Criminal History Check (fingerprint check) must be favorably completed before a NAIHS identification card can be issued. Each Contractor must use the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) e-APP system to complete any required investigative forms. Instructions for obtaining fingerprints will be provided by the COR or Contracting Officer. The NAIHS Personnel Security Office is responsible for adjudicating the suitability of contractor employees.

(f) Agency access denied. Upon contract award, NAIHS will initiate the agency access procedure for all contractor employees requiring access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems and other NAIHS resources for contract performance. NAIHS may deny agency access to any individual about whom an adverse suitability determination is made. Failure to submit the required security information or to truthfully answer all questions shall constitute grounds for denial of access. The Contractor must not direct its employees to work under the contract until the COR or Contracting Officer provides notice of approval. Where a proposed contractor employee is denied agency access by the Government or, if for any reason a proposed application is withdrawn by the Contractor during the agency access process, the additional costs and administrative burden for conducting additional background investigations caused by a lack of effective prescreening or planning on the part of the Contractor may be considered as part of the Contractor's overall performance evaluation.

(g) Identification card application process. The Contracting Officer (CO) or COR will be the NAIHS ID card Sponsor and point of contact for the Contractor's application for a NAIHS ID card. The CO/COR shall review the NAIHS ID card request before sending the requested applicant’s information to Personnel Security Office. An applicant may be issued either a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card that meets the standards of Homeland Presidential Security Directive (HSPD–12). The following applies—

(1) PIV card. The applicant must complete the e-App on-line application for a PIV card;

(2) The applicant must provide two forms of identity source documents in original form to NAIHS. The identity source documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form F–9, OMB No. 1115–0136, Employment Eligibility Verification. At least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture identification. For a PIV card, the applicant may be required to appear in-person a second time for enrollment and activation.

(h) Identification card custody and control. The Contractor is responsible for the custody and control of all forms of government identification issued by NAIHS to contractor employees for access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems and other NAIHS resources. The Contractor shall:

(1) Provide a listing of personnel for whom an identification (ID) card is requested to the COR or PM who will provide a copy of the listing to the card issuing office. This may include Contractor and subcontractor personnel. Follow issuing office directions for submittal of an application package(s).

(2) While visiting or performing work on a NAIHS facility, as specified by the issuing office, PM or COR, ensure that contractor employees prominently display their ID card.

(3) Immediately notify the COR or, if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting Officer when a contractor employee's status changes and no longer requires agency access (e.g., employee's transfer, completion of a project, retirement, removal from work on the contract, or termination of employment) that may affect the employee's eligibility for access to the facility, sensitive information, or resources.

(4) Promptly deliver to the issuing office: (a) all ID cards assigned to an employee who no longer requires access to the facility; and (b) all expired ID cards within five (5) days of their expiration or all cards at time of contract termination, whichever occurs first.

(5) Immediately report any lost or stolen ID cards to the issuing office and follow its instructions.

(i) The Contractor is responsible for maintaining and safeguarding the NAIHS ID card upon issuance to the contractor employee. The Contractor must ensure that contractor employees comply with NAIHS requirements concerning the renewal, loss, theft, or damage of an ID card. The Contractor must immediately notify the COR or, if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting Officer when an ID card is lost, stolen or damaged.

(ii) Failure to comply with the requirements for custody and control of NAIHS ID cards may result in withholding final payment or contract termination based on the potential for serious harm caused…
