Section H - Special Contract Requirements

INSTALLATION POLICY

Installation Access Based on recent guidance from the Secretary of the Army and COS Army, Senior Commanders and supporting garrison leadership are not authorized to grant unescorted installation access without the required identity proofing and vetting using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III).

Civilian personnel requesting access must have a valid reason to be on the federal installation, be sponsored by a Dod Civilian/military card holder, and be favorably vetted against the FBI's database. Once these conditions have been met, we will issue credentials in the form of either a pass or DOD identification card from the DBIDS System that we currently have in place. (Defense Biometric Identification System).

Personnel not affiliated with DoD and/or not vetted against NCIC-III or for a short term visit, must escorted while on the installation.

National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) Criteria for Denial.

Army Senior Commanders will, in the absence of an approved waiver, deny uncleared individuals unescorted access to the installation based on the results of the NCIC-III and TSDB checks that contain credible derogatory information indicating that the individual may present a threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation. Such derogatory information includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. The NCIC-III contains criminal arrest information about the individual that causes the senior commander to determine that the individual presents a potential threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation.

2. The installation is unable to verify the individuals claimed identity based on the reasonable belief that the individual has submitted fraudulent information concerning his or her identity in the attempt to gain access.

3. The individual has a current arrest warrant in NCIC, regardless of the offense or violation.

4. The individual is currently barred from entry or access to a federal installation or facility.

5. The individual has been convicted of crimes encompassing sexual assault, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, production or possession of child pornography, trafficking humans, drug possession with the intent to sell or drug distribution.

6. The individual has a U.S. conviction for espionage, sabotage, treason, terrorism or murder.

7. The individual is a registered sex offender.

8. The individual has a felony conviction within the last 10 years, regardless of the offense or violation.

9. The individual has been convicted of a felony firearms or explosives violation.

10. The individual has engaged in acts or activities designed to overthrow the U.S. Government by force.

11. The individual is identified in the TSDB as known to be or suspected of being a terrorist or belonging to an organization with known links to terrorism or support of terrorist activity. When this capability becomes available to DoD, installation access control personnel will strictly follow the Federal Bureau of Investigations published engagement protocols.

*Only Government officials whom the senior commander designates will perform fitness determinations.

Designations will be in writing by duty position and codified in local guidance.

DBIDS information required to issue passes/cards.

Stateside license, Personal data Ht/Wt/, Who the sponsor is, finger print/photo.

Before issuing ID cards to new employees or contractors, the standard requires agencies to conduct a background investigation of employees and contractors "who require long-term access to federally controlled facilities and/or information systems." This investigation would include agency initiation of the National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or a similar type of national security investigation. In the event credentials are issued without a completed NACI, the ID must be electronically distinguishable from those issued to individuals for whom the investigation has been completed. The Contractor is responsible for meeting Antiterrorism/Operations Security Requirements. All contractor employees, to include subcontractor employees, requiring access Army installations, facilities and controlled access areas shall complete all mandatory training to include Antiterrorism (AT) and Operations Security (OPSEC) training required by government employees and directed by the command.

The contractor and all associated subcontractors’ employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility, and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the Government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by the installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services, or Security Office. The contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) is the Point of Contact for all required OPSEC and iWatch training requirements identified in the contract.

Contractors performing work on Fort Jackson for a period 30 days or less, or contractors who have forgotten their badge at home can receive a temporary badge under the DES Standardized Contractor ID vetting program.

b. All garrison, mission, and tenant government organizations on Fort Jackson.

(1) Provide contract data of prime and subcontractors for any contracts you have to the DES contactor Vetting Office supervisor using the Excel Spreadsheet sample format (enclosure 1) by e-mail.

(2) All primary and subcontractors should be aware of the Immigration Customs enforcement (ICE) Mutual Agreement between government and employers (IMAGE) Program (enclosure 2).

c. Fort Jackson Directorate of Emergency Services (DES).

(1) Establish a program to vet contract personnel on Fort Jackson who are not authorized a DoD common access card under the CVS program.

(2) Establish a process to verify contractor employee vital information required to confirm their identity (enclosure 4).

(3) The DES Vetting Office will contact the prime contractor POC as listed on the contract data by e-mail when verification process has been completed to schedule a date and time for badges to be issued. If no e-mail address is listed for the prime contractor, the COR will be notified.

(4) Maintain a current list of all prime and subcontractors currently performing work on Fort Jackson.

(5) Provide a fixed site vetting processing capability located in Bldg 4394.

d. Contractors.

(1) All prime contractors must provide a letter requesting contactor badges (enclosure 3 & 4) signed by a designated representative from the company listing all employees who require access to Fort Jackson. A separate letter will be submitted for each sub contractor. The letters will be provided to the Government Contracting Officer Representative (COR) of their contract that is responsible for providing this information to the DES Vetting Office.

Requested contract data is to be e-mailed _____________________, or faxed to __________________________ with a cover sheet indicating it was sent from the COR. The letter will list the last name, first name, middle initial, social security number of the employee, and have as attachments the E-Verify status and criminal check.

The badges will be reissued one week prior to the original expiration date.

(3) Badges will be displayed at all times, and may be attached or worn in any manner on the front torso, the right or left arm, or around the neck on the outer most garment so they are easily visible for inspection.

f. Legal Hiring by Individuals. Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (enclosure 6) provides detailed procedural requirements employers must follow before hiring any individual. All employers, regardless of the size of their respective business, must verify the identity and work authorization of every new hire, citizen, or alien. This includes reviewing documents which establish the employee’s legal identity and his/her eligibility to be employed in the United States. If the employee is being hired for three or fewer days, verification must be done immediately when employment commences.

g. Non-compliance. Contractor employees found without badges can be escorted to post boundaries, and referred to the COR. Violations could form the basis for adverse contract action under the rights and remedies of the contract term and conditions.

Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Mutual Agreement between Government and Employer (IMAGE) Program

1. It is highly desired all prime and subcontractors working on Fort Jackson join the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) Program and become IMAGE certified. A known vulnerability on Fort Jackson has been the presence of unauthorized aliens (undocumented workers) who have secured jobs by fraudulent means, including presentation of false documents, completion of fraudulent benefit applications, and theft of identities. To combat unlawful employment and reduce vulnerabilities that help illegal aliens gain employment, the Department of Homeland security (DHS) recently introduced the ICE Mutual Agreement between the Government and Employers (IMAGE) program. The goal is to assist employers in targeted sectors to develop a more secure and stable workforce and enhance fraudulent documentation awareness through education and training.

The website for IMAGE is http:/www.ice.gov/partners/opaimage/

2. Upon enrollment and implementation of the DHS’s best hiring practices program participants will be deemed “IMAGE Certified”—a distinction DHS believes will become an industry standard.

3. All IMAGE participants gain membership to DHS’s Basic Pilot Employment Verification Program administrated by USCIS. Though this employee authorization verification program, employers can verify newly hired employees are eligible to work in the United States. The internet-based system is available in all 50 states and is currently free to employers. It provides an automated link to the Social Security Administration database and DHS immigration records.

To sign up for participation in the Basic Pilot Employment Verification Program, visit the registration Web site http://www.is-dhs.com/EmployerRegistration/
