52.0000-4408 INSTALLATION SECURITY

The Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) is currently operating on a heightened state of security awareness and enforcement due to possible terrorist threats. Due to this heightened state of security, it is imperative that no unauthorized materials of any type be brought onto or left unattended on the installation. For this reason the Contractor must have a process in place to receive and store materials and have visibility of the location of those materials at all times while on ANAD. This includes construction materials, equipment, and miscellaneous items.

This visibility/accountability of materials applies to the Contractor, its subcontractors, and its material suppliers.

Further, all Contractor, subcontractor, and material supplier employees are prohibited from bringing personal belongings of any nature onto the installation if such items are to be left unattended at any time.

The Contractor is further required to have a plan of action for implementing these procedures and must submit it to the Contracting Officer upon request. This plan of action must include a provision for informing all employees and subcontractors of these procedures. The plan of action must also address monitoring and procedures the Contractor has in place to ensure compliance with this contractual provision.

Should the Contractor fail to comply with this mandatory contractual provision, the Contractor may be held responsible for all direct and indirect cost incurred by the Government in identifying, securing, segregating, removing, and otherwise properly disposing of improper or abandoned materials/equipment.
