1.0 GENERAL

1. 1 Background

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordinates the Federal Government's role in all presidentially declared Emergencies and Major Disasters, whether natural or human- caused, including acts of terror. To accomplish this mission FEMA maintains 24-hour situational awareness through the FEMA Watch program. The program provides situational awareness that enables leadership at all levels to make informed decisions whether to activate incident support/management personnel and provides continual monitoring of incidents during activations.

Elements that support the FEMA’s Watch capability, from the National Watch Center (NWC) to the Regional

Watch Center (RWC) functions, fulfill unique responsibilities, operate under distinct authorities, and provide specialized capabilities, and are charged with providing for a common mission, maintaining awareness of potential and occurring incidents, conducting analysis to identify potential threats and determine impacts, notifying appropriate stakeholders of incident activity, and disseminating reports during the initial stages of incidents.

This project will take place at Denton, Texas Federal Regional Center (FRC), located with FEMA Region 6.

This refresh focuses on the Regional Watch mission, which serves as the 24-hour ‘Watch capability’ for

FEMA Region 6 and the five states in their Area-Of- Responsibility (AOR) – Arkansas, Oklahoma, New

Mexico, Louisiana, and Texas, as well as the Tribal Nations within those geographic boundaries. The Watch is responsible for maintaining around-the-clock situational awareness; providing timely alerts, notification, and decision-making support; the preparation, coordination and dissemination of day-to-day Watch and initial incident reports; and the operational transition of incidents to activated region response elements.

Updating the Control Room Consoles and Furniture in the Watch is critical to ensure that FEMA possesses a baseline set of capabilities necessary to perform the mission, that requires 100% capability to provide situational awareness and effectively coordinate federal disaster response operations.

Low Risk without Information System Access:

Contractor personnel occupying positions or performing functions with a Low-Risk designation and who do not require access to DHS or FEMA information systems may undergo a Tier 1 investigation with a credit check and must receive a favorable adjudication thereof from FEMA PSD prior to performing work under this contract.

DHS or FEMA information systems shall undergo a Tier 2 Suitability Background Investigation (T2) and must receive a favorable adjudication thereof from FEMA PSD prior to performing work under this contract.

Moderate Risk:

Contractor personnel occupying positions or performing functions with a Moderate Risk designation shall undergo a Tier

Background Investigation Process:

To initiate the request to process contractor personnel, the Contractor shall provide the FEMA Contracting Officer’s

Representative (COR) with all required information and comply with all necessary instructions to complete Section II of the FEMA Form 121-3-1-6, “Contract Fitness/Security Screening Request.” The FEMA COR shall ensure that all other applicable sections of the FEMA Form 121-3-1-6 are complete prior to submitting the form to FEMA PSD for processing.

The Contractor shall also provide the FEMA COR with completed OF 306, “Declaration for Federal Employment,” forms for all contractor personnel.

Contractor personnel who already have a favorably adjudicated background investigation, may be eligible to perform work under this contract without further processing by FEMA PSD if:

• The contractor personnel have not had a break in employment since the prior favorable adjudication, and,

• FEMA PSD has verified the investigation and confirmed that no new derogatory information has been disclosed which may require a reinvestigation.

FEMA PSD will notify the COR of the names of the contractor personnel eligible to work based on prior, favorable adjudication. The COR will, in turn, notify the Contractor of the names of the favorably adjudicated contractor personnel, at which time the favorably adjudicated contractor personnel will be eligible to begin work under this contract.

The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all contractor personnel timely and properly submit all required background information.

Once contractor personnel have properly submitted the complete package of all required background information, FEMA’s Personnel Security Division, at its sole discretion, may grant contractor personnel temporary eligibility to perform work under this contract prior to completion of the full background investigation if the Personnel Security

Division’s initial review of the contractor personnel’s background information reveals no issues of concern. In such cases, FEMA’s Personnel Security Division will provide notice of such temporary eligibility to the COR who will then notify the Prime Contractor, at which time the identified contractor personnel will be temporarily eligible to begin work under this contract. Neither the Prime Contractor nor the contractor personnel has any right to such a grant of temporary eligibility. The grant of such temporary eligibility shall not be considered as assurance that the contactor personnel will remain eligible to perform work under this contract upon completion of and final adjudication of the full background investigation.

Upon favorable adjudication of the full background investigation, FEMA’s Personnel Security Division will update the contractor personnel’s security file and take no further action. In any instance where the final adjudication results in an unfavorable determination, FEMA’s Personnel Security Division will notify the contractor personnel directly, in writing, of the decision and will provide the COR with the name(s) of the contractor personnel whose adjudication was unfavorable. The COR will then forward that information to the Contractor. Contractor personnel who receive an unfavorable adjudication shall be ineligible to perform work under this contract. Unfavorable adjudications are final and not subject to review or appeal.
