SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND CONTRACTOR IDENTITY PROOFING, REGISTRATION, AND E-VERIFY PROCESS

1. The contract employee is responsible for safeguarding all government property provided for use. The contractor shall ensure that all card keys/keys issued are not lost or misplaced and are not used by unauthorized persons.

2. Contractors shall comply with the personal identity verification (PIV) policies and procedures established by the AGAR Advisory No. 81, Revision 02 dated April 28, 2009 – Common Identification Standard for Contractors and Departmental Regulation (DR) and Departmental Manual (DM) 4620-002. Copies of the DR and DM 4620-002 can be downloaded from the website at http://hspd12.usda.gov.

a. All applicable contractor employees requiring routine physical access to Federally-controlled facilities and/or routine access to Federally-controlled information systems must go through the identity proofing, registration, and e-verify process, and have a successful background investigation conducted by OPM. The level of investigation required is dependent on the duties and may require a low-risk non-sensitive National Agency Check with (Written) Inquiries, an Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Public Trust or an OPM National Security background investigation to serve on the contract. E-Verify is an electronic system which checks employee information obtained from the Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9 form) against records maintained by both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA).

b. Contractor ID credentials will be issued after successful identity proofing of the contractor employee applicant and upon a successfully adjudicated background investigation.

SECURITY AND CONTRACTOR IDENTITY PROOFING, REGISTRATION, AND E-VERIFY PROCESS

(a) Contractors shall comply with the personal identity verification (PIV) policies and procedures established by the AGAR Advisory No. 81, Revision 03 dated July 19, 2010 – Common Identification Standard for Contractors. In addition, procedures to be followed by contractors and contractor employees are specified in the Departmental Regulation and Departmental Manual (DM) 4620-002. Copies can be downloaded from the website at http://hspd12.usda.gov.

(b) All applicable contractor employees requiring routine, long term (the aggregate of 6 months or more) physical access to Federally-controlled facilities or routine access to Federally-controlled information systems must go through the identify proofing, registration, and e-verify process, and have a successful background investigation conducted by OPM. The level of investigation required is dependent on the duties and may require a low-risk non-sensitive National Agency Check with (Written) Inquiries, an Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Public Trust or an OPM National Security background investigation to serve on the contract. E-Verify is an electronic system which checks employee information obtained from the Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9 form) against records maintained by both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). If the information input matches the DHS and SSA records, an ‘employment authorized’ message will be received. However, any discrepancy between the information input and the records at DHS and SSA will result in an alert being issued. The alert is called a Notice of Tentative Non-Confirmation (TNC) and further action is required. All background investigations or clearances must be done one week prior to commencing work. Where this is not practical and the prime or subcontractor requires intermittent access to federally controlled facilities or are under the aggregate 180 day limit, a temporary guest ID badge will be issued and/or such personnel may be under constant supervision and their access to areas or data may be more restricted. Contractor employees who will NOT have routine unaccompanied physical access to a Federally-controlled facility and/or routine unaccompanied access to a Federally-controlled information system may be excluded from coverage by AGAR Advisory 81 based on the LincPass Distribution Risk Assessment. The LincPass Distribution Risk Assessment will be conducted by a USDA Sponsor for contract personnel (Contracting Officer’s Representative, or other Government designated program/project officers) as part of the PIV II registration, identity proofing, and credential issuance procedures. Examples of probable exclusion are couriers, express mail and package or other delivery persons.

(c) The Contractor shall provide to the USDA PIV Sponsor and the Personnel Security Specialist listed below, a list of all contractor and subcontractor employees full name, job title, employer (prime or subcontractor), contract number, performance period and/or the days employee is expected to be on-site for base year and each option year, if applicable, and information on OPM’s background investigation or clearance conducted by the prime or subcontractor and that contractor employees pass the background check.

(d) The Contractor shall take full responsibility to ensure that prime and subcontractor employees who require routine, long-term physical access to federally controlled facilities and logical access to Federally controlled information systems except for "national security systems" as defined by 44 U.S.C. 3542(b)(2), are required to complete and submit HRO 1197, Contractor Supplement and the AD-1197, Request for USDA Identification (ID) Badge, along with copies of two identity source documents (one being a photo ID) and two completed fingerprint cards (FD-258 attached), to the following. You can obtain these forms and further guidance from the Personnel Security Specialist who oversees the investigation process for contractors:

250 Marquette Ave, Ste. 410, Minneapolis, MN 55401 Phone: (612) 336-3294

(e) The Security Specialist will validate the level of background investigation required of the employee’s position, and initiate them into OPM’s secure on-line e-QIP portal and will provide further instructions by means of email for completing the electronic questionnaire.
