The government sponsor is responsible to ensure the security identification badges are returned to the Visitor Control Center, Bldg 232, upon expiration or termination of the contract relationship with the contract employee. Failure to comply with the requirements in this paragraph may be grounds for withholding any funds due the contractor until completion of the requirement, notwithstanding any other clause or requirements in the contract. Failure to comply may also be taken into account by the government in evaluating the contractor’s past performance on future acquisitions.

4) Badge Guidance.

a) All contractor employees, while on the premises at the Detroit Arsenal, shall continually wear the badge, which shall be visible at all times between the neck and waist of the individual.

b) The identification badge or pass issued to contractor employee(s) is for their own use only. Misuse of badge or pass, such as permitting others to use it can result in criminal charges under Title 18 USC 499 and 701, and barring the employee from the Detroit Arsenal property.

c) If the contractor obtains a new or follow-on contract that again requires physical access to the Detroit Arsenal property, he shall obtain new badges for his employees, indicating the new or follow-on contract number. The security policies described in this clause apply to any contractor employee on base in connection with any contract with TACOM-Warren.

He/she must state the Contractor's name and address, and state the name of all other companies or persons that (a) currently employ him, or (b) that he currently represents.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options.

Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause. Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:
