1. Procedures for safeguarding sensitive and/or classified Government information (if applicable)

Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation; including fire, traffic, safety and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation which may affect performance.

Antiterrorism (AT) Level I Training. All contractor employees, to include subcontractor employees, requiring access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled access areas shall complete AT Level I awareness training prior to contract report date. This training is required for any additional or new contractor employees, who start after that period. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee, to the COR/POC within 10 calendar days after completion of training by all employees and subcontractor personnel. AT level I awareness training is available at the following website: http://jko.jten.mil/courses/atl1/launch.html for their training. Completion of contractor employee training will be documented on ELTY form 583, TYAD On-Post Training Record, or contractor equivalent. As applicable, contractor employees must complete annual AT awareness training as it pertains the length of the contract.

iWATCH Army Training. The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall brief all employees on the local iWATCH Army Program. This will consist of utilizing the tools and media products on the informational iWATCH Army website to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR/POC. The iWATCH training is available at the following website: https://myarmyonesource.com select Family Programs and Services, in the drop down boxes select: Go To, iWATCH Army –“See Something, Say Something”.

The contractor shall notify the COR/POC within 10 calendar days of review of the information on the website for any new employees or subcontractor personnel to assure the ELTY form 583 or contractor equivalent is properly documented.

Completion of contractor employee training will be documented on ELTY form 583, TYAD On-Post Training Record or contractor equivalent.

Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures. Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by TYAD Law Enforcement. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy.

Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the government representative), or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status of forces agreements and other theater regulations.

A background check and approval from Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) Law Enforcement is required for all contractor and subcontractor personnel prior to on-site access at TYAD. All persons seeking entrance to TYAD shall submit to and comply with all security standards and requirements in force at the time such persons are seeking entry. All contractors, regardless of resident status or citizenship, will be subject to vehicle search and intense in-processing by TYAD security personnel prior to being granted access to TYAD. This security screening process may be time consuming and access may be delayed or denied. The contractor shall ensure ELTY Form 648-C is completed for all contractor and subcontractor personnel requiring depot access to include warranty services. The TYAD point of contact (POC) will provide ELTY Form 648-C, “Request Access to Tobyhanna Army Depot” to the contractor/vendor at least ten days prior to the expected visit date for completion.

The contractor/vendor shall return the completed ELTY Form 648-C to the TYAD POC in a timely manner so the same may be submitted to Security for processing no later than seven days prior to the visit. All of the required fields on the form shall be complete and accurate by the contractor/vendor for timely processing. This requirement is inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work or visiting on-site. This security screening does not relieve the contractor of any responsibilities to conduct thorough pre-employment background checks and drug screening. Contractor workers will not be granted access to the work site until security screening is completed and access is approved. Any contractor personnel on-site who fail screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD. See “Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures”.

Submit the completed ELTY Forms 648-C form(s) to the COR or POC. Ensure contracts include the provisions that check for the possibility of and prevent undocumented workers for inclusion in contracted work related to Army missions.

The company will ensure that its employees entering Army-controlled installations or facilities have obtained access badges and passes in accordance with facility regulations and that these badges and passes are obtained in advance so as not to delay the accomplishment of contracted services.

Common Access Card (CAC) and Information Systems/Network Access by Contractor Workers. [If applicable.] Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-

05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) Both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) Remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) Physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled NACI at the Office of Personnel Management.

Contractors shall be identified with Government issued identification card (e.g., Common Access Card (CAC) or unit specified identification card). When required, contractor personnel shall comply with local security policies to wear their identification card in a standardized manner, clearly visible attached to the torso of the exterior garment above the belt and below the shoulders except when in use (i.e., inserted in a computer CAC reader) or when in controlled areas requiring other credentials as the primary method of identification. To access any Government base and certain facilities, the contractor shall present required identification card upon demand. Upon exit from Government facilities, the contractor shall conceal their credentials (CAC or other credentials) from plain view. The contractor and Contractor Security Manager/Officer shall coordinate with the COR for Government credential issues.

For contractors that do not require CAC, but require access to a DoD facility or installation. Contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13); applicable installation, facility and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by Government representative); or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status-of-forces agreements and other theater regulations.

Collection of Badges: The Contractor shall account for all forms of Government-provided identification issued to the Contractor employees in connection with performance under this contract. The Contractor shall return such identification to the issuing agency at the earliest of any of the following, unless otherwise determined by the Government:

7. When no longer needed for contract performance.

8. Upon completion of the Contractor employee’s employment.

9. Upon contract completion or termination.

The Contracting Officer may delay final payment under a contract if the Contractor fails to comply with these requirements. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph, in all subcontracts when the subcontractor’s employees are required to have routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility and/or routine access to a Federally-controlled information system. It shall be the responsibility of the prime Contractor to return such identification to the issuing agency in accordance with the terms set forth in of this section, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. The company will return all issued U.S. Government Common Access Cards, installation badges, and/or access passes to the COR when the contract is completed or when a contractor employee no longer requires access to the installation or facility. Contractor personnel will obtain a vehicle pass for access to the military installation and Common Access Cards (CAC) for computer access, if applicable.

Security and privacy requirements for all Department of Defense- Tobyhanna (TYAD) information technology (IT) procurements.

Applicability: The requirements established in this document apply to all employees, contractors, and users authorized to participate in the TYAD IT procurement process. Further, the requirements established herein apply as the entire contract or order (hereafter referred to as a “contract”), or any portion thereof, includes either or both of the following:

• Access (Physical or Logical) to Government Information: Physical and Logical Access refers to when contractor personnel (and/or any subcontractor) are expected to have (1) routine physical access to an TYAD-controlled facility; (2) logical access to an TYAD-controlled information system; (3) access to government information, whether in an TYAD-controlled information system or in hard copy; or (4) any combination of circumstances (1) through (3) as per OMB M-05-24, Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 – Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors.

• Operate a Federal System Containing Information: A Contractor (and/or any subcontractor) employee will operate a federal system and information technology containing data that supports the TYAD mission. In addition to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 2.1 definition of “information technology” (IT), the term as used in this section includes computers, ancillary equipment (including imaging peripherals, input, output, and storage devices necessary for security and surveillance), peripheral equipment designed to be controlled by the central processing unit of a computer, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including support services), and related resources.

Requirements: Safeguarding Information and Information Systems In accordance with the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, the Contractor (and/or any subcontractor) shall:

a. Protect Government information and information systems in order to ensure:

12. Confidentiality, which means preserving authorized restrictions on access and disclosure, based on the security terms found in this contract, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information.

13. Integrity, which means guarding against improper information modification or destruction, and ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity.

14. Availability, which means ensuring timely and reliable access to and use of information.

17. Provide security for any Contractor systems, and information contained therein, connected to a TYAD network or operated by the Contractor on behalf of TYAD regardless of location. In addition, if new or unanticipated threats or hazards are discovered by either the agency or contractor, or if existing safeguards have ceased to function, the discoverer shall immediately, within sixty (60) minutes or less, bring the situation to the attention of the other party.

18. Adopt and implement policies, procedures, controls, and standards that are in effect at the time of contract solicitation and required by the TYAD Information Security Program to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of government information and government information systems for which the Contractor is responsible under this contract or to which the Contractor may otherwise have access under this contract. Obtain the TYAD Information Security Program security requirements based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) “Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.” The framework contains the five (5) core functions to “Identify,” “Protect,” “Detect,” “Respond (to),” and “Recover (from)” any cybersecurity event.

19. Comply with the Privacy Act requirements and with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) and with the OMB memo M-17-12, Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information, Contractor Employee Personnel Security Screenings documents, and FAR clauses as applicable and incorporated into this solicitation/contract. Personally Identifiable Information is defined as below.

Per Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is “information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.” Examples of PII include, but are Security and Privacy Requirements for Information Technology Procurements not limited to the following:

social security number, date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, biometric records, etc.

Per TYAD, sensitive PII is PII that if released improperly could result in harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to the individual whose name or identity is linked to the information. Context must be accounted for in order to determine whether PII is sensitive. Some PII is always sensitive, and some is only sensitive when it is used in a particular context. For example, a list of people subscribing to a government newsletter is generally not sensitive PII; a list of people receiving treatment for substance abuse would always be considered sensitive PII.

The list below is not exhaustive. Context must be accounted for in order to determine whether PII is sensitive. The following types of information are always considered sensitive:

23. Social Security Numbers (including using just the last 4 digits of the SSN)

24. Date of birth

25. Mother’s maiden name

26. Biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprint, iris scan, voice print)

27. Personal financial information, credit card and purchase card account numbers

28. Citizenship and immigration status

29. Criminal history • Computer access passwords and security questions

30. Medical records

25. Mandatory Training for All Contractor Staff - All contractor (and/or any subcontractor) employees assigned to work on this contract shall complete the applicable TYAD Cybersecurity and Privacy Awareness training (provided upon contract award) before performing any work under this contract (this training is available to new contractors, even if they do not have a PIV card). Thereafter, the employees shall complete the TYAD Cybersecurity and Privacy Awareness training at least annually, during the life of this contract. All provided training shall be compliant with TYAD training policies. Contractor Employees Who Require Access to Government Information Systems. All contractor employees with access to a government information system must be registered in the Army Training Certification Tracking System (ATCTS) at commencement of services and must successfully complete the DOD Information Assurance (IA) Awareness prior to access to the information system and then annually thereafter.

26. Training Records - The contractor (and/or any subcontractor) shall maintain training records for all its employees working under this contract in accordance with TYAD policy. A copy of the training records shall be provided to the COR within 30 days after contract award and annually thereafter, or upon request.

Information assurance (IA)/information technology (IT) training. All contractor employees and associated sub-contractor employees must complete the DoD IA awareness training before issuance of network access and annually thereafter. All contractor employees working IA/IT functions must comply with DoD and Army training requirements in DoDD 8570.01, DoD 8570.01-M and AR 25-2 within six months of employment.

Information assurance (IA)/information technology (IT) certification. Per DoD 8570.01-M , DFARS 252.239.7001 and AR 25-2, the contractor employees supporting IA/IT functions shall be appropriately certified upon contract award. The baseline certification as stipulated in DoD 8570.01-M must be completed upon contract award.

Acceptable Use Policy: Users who require TYAD Network access are required annually to digitally sign an Acceptable Use Policy. (AUP) The Acceptable Use Policy is intended to outline expected behavior in regards to the use of Government information technology (IT) resources and to delineate between authorized and unauthorized operating practices. The Acceptable Use Policy also provides an overview of IT system security policies mandated by TYAD. All Government IT resources, including but not limited to, hardware, software, storage media, and computer and network accounts, provided by TYAD are the property of TYAD. They are to be used for business purposes in serving the interests of the Government and TYAD customers in the course of normal operations. Use of Government IT resources for purposes other than those identified within this policy are strictly prohibited and could negate the security of TYAD IT systems. Effective security is a team effort involving the participation and support of everyone who deals with information and/or information systems. It is the responsibility of everyone to know these guidelines, and to conduct their activities accordingly.

The policy represents the commitment of TYAD to ensure that system and information integrity policy is appropriately defined and implemented, in order to protect TYAD systems from intentional or unintentional acts that may negatively impact system security.
