TRIOSS TASK ORDER 1: MEDICAL MODELING AND SIMULATION TRAINING (MMAST) APPENDIX C

15 February 2018

Background Investigation

1. Medical Contractor Access to Federally Controlled Facilities and/or Unclassified Sensitive Information or Unclassified IT Systems (DEC 2011).

This below mentioned requirement applies to NMMAST contractor employees requiring physical access to any area of a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to Privacy Act information on a DoD computer/network. It is the responsibility of the command/facility where the work is performed to ensure compliance.

Each contract health care worker providing services at a Navy command under this contract is required to obtain a Common Access Card. Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, that contract health care worker will also require a successful investigation as detailed below.

CONTRACTOR’S REPRESENTATIVE

The contractor shall designate an employee to serve as the Contractor’s Representative. Within three work days after contract award, the contractor shall provide to the Navy Command’s Security Manager and the Contracting Officer, in writing, the name, title, address and phone number for the Contractor’s Representative. The Contractor’s Representative shall be the primary point of contact on any security matter. The Contractor’s Representative shall not be replaced or removed without prior notice to the Contracting Officer.

ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES

Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The Deputy Secretary of Defense Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-006 – “DoD Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 12 (HSPD-12)” dated November 26, 2008 (or its subsequent DoD instruction) and Navy implementing memorandum dated May 28, 2010 direct implementation of HSPD-12. This clause is in accordance with HSPD-12 and its implementing directives. Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contract health care workers working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a Common Access Card.

ACCESS TO DOD SYSTEMS

In accordance with SECNAV M-5510.30, contractors who require access to DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. This clause applies to contractors who require IT-II privileged access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network; the IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). All contract health care worker positions under this contract require access to Privacy Act protected information and are therefore categorized as no lower than IT-II.

PROCEDURES

To obtain a favorable determination, each contractor employee must have a favorably completed National Agency Check with Local Credit Checks (NACLC) which consists of a NACI including a FBI fingerprint check plus credit and law enforcement checks. Each contractor employee is required to complete:

Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date. To maintain continuing authorization for an employee to access Privacy Act information on a DoD unclassified computer/network, the contractor shall ensure that the individual employee has a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall be responsible for initiating reinvestigations as required and ensuring that background investigations remain current (not older than 10 years) throughout the contract performance period.

When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee’s duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy Command’s Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual’s performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Navy Command’s Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual’s start date shall result in delaying the individual’s start date.

When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

The Contractor’s Security Representative shall ensure that each individual employee pending assignment shall accurately complete the required forms for submission to the Navy Command Security Manager. The Contractor’s Security Representative shall screen the investigative questionnaires for completeness and accuracy and for potential suitability/security issues prior to submitting the request to the Navy Command’s Security Manager. Forms and fingerprint cards may be obtained from the Navy Command’s Security Manager. These required items, shall be forwarded to the Navy Command's Security Manager for processing at least 30 days prior to the individual employee’s anticipated date for reporting for duty. The Navy Command’s Security Manager will review the submitted documentation for completeness and accuracy prior to submitting it to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Suitability/security issues identified by the Navy may render the contract employee ineligible for the assignment. An unfavorable determination made by the Navy is final (subject to SF 86 appeal procedures) and such a determination does not relieve the contractor from meeting any contractual obligation under the contract. If contractor employees already possess a current favorably adjudicated investigation, the Navy Command’s Security Manager will use the Visit Authorization Request (VAR) via the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS). The contractor shall include the IT Position Category per SECNAV M-5510.30 for each employee designated on a VAR. The VAR requires annual renewal for the duration of the employee’s performance under the contract.

The Navy Command’s Security Manager will forward the required forms to OPM for processing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded by OPM to the DON Central Adjudication Facility (CAF) for an eligibility determination.

DENIAL OF ACCESS

The potential consequences of any requirements under this clause including denial of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have physical access to a federally controlled facility and/or access to a federally-controlled information system/network and/or access to government information.

INTERIM ACCESS

The Navy Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a CAC card and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the SF-86 questionnaire and advance fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, contractor employees working on the contract under interim access shall be removed immediately and will no longer be authorized to work on the contract.

2. The contractor employees shall report to the task order primary POC on the first day of contract performance. The COR shall provide direction for a proper check-in and any additional documentation or instructions that may be necessary for contract performance. The contractor employees shall return the completed check-in sheet to the task order primary POC within ten (10) business days.

3. Upon receipt of an adjudicated Federal background investigation or at a minimum advanced fingerprint results, the Command Trusted Agent will enter contract employee into the Contractor Verification System (CVS). The contractor employee is responsible for completing the CVS application for requesting issuance of a Common Access Card (CAC).

4. Sixty (60) days prior to performance of services under this contract, the contractor’s Security Representative shall submit to the Military Training Facility (MTF) Security Manager via the task order primary POC the necessary documents to obtain the appropriate Federal background investigation.
