The Contractor and all associated sub-contractor 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 government representative), in accordance with (IAW) status of forces agreements and other theater regulations.

1.5 In order to gain access to Fort Campbell, KY non-Federal Government and non-DoD issued Identification (ID) cardholders require identity proofing and vetting to determine fitness and eligibility for access. Specifically, a check of records through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Interstate Identification Index (III) is the Army's minimum background check for the entrance onto Army installations for non-Common Access Card (CAC) holders, to include entrance of visitors.

Fort Campbell applies the following non-Federal Government cardholder criteria to determine the authorized type of access control credentials:

g. Privatized Business Partners: Air Assault Card

(The following are Privatized Business Partners: IHG, Campbell Crossing, and University/College faculty, Fort Campbell Credit Union, Bank of America and Home Health Care)

1.6 Contractor Common Access Card (CAC) Eligibility: Authorized contractor personnel requiring access to two (2) or more DoD-controlled installations/facilities on a recurring basis for a period of six (6) months or more; OR an individual requiring both access to a DoD-controlled installation/facility and onsite/remote access to DoD or Army controlled information networks on behalf of the Army REQUIRE a favorable NACI background investigation. Buildings or activities where special security measures (i.e., Controlled Access Areas) are employed may be considered a “separate facility” from the installation, IAW the determination of the command leadership for the particular building/activity.

a. Initial issuance of a CAC requires the completion of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint check with favorable results and the successful submission of a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) (equivalent or higher) background investigation to the Army’s investigative service provider, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), via the U.S. Army Personnel Security Investigation Center of Excellence.

i. To process the NACI, a Background Investigation Worksheet, (FC FM 255), and proof of citizenship is required. The following are the only documents allowed for citizenship verification: birth certificate, certificate of citizenship-INS, certificate of naturalization, certification of birth-Form DS-1350, certification of birth-Form FS-545, passport and the report of birth abroad-Form FS-240.

ii. The COR is responsible for completion and submission of the “Initiation Packet” consisting of each individuals completed FC FM 255 and citizenship documentation.

iii. The COR submits the completed packet to the DPTMS Security & Intelligence Division (SID) for review. Following review by the SID, the COR will be contacted by the SID to have the individual make an appointment for fingerprinting. At the appointment, the SID representative will verify the information provided by the individual, take and submit digital fingerprints, and explain the remaining process.

b. After the contractor's appointment with SID, Fort Campbell Installation Access Control will issue the individual a 30 day installation pass to allow for processing of the NACI background investigation. The NCIC III must be favorable prior to issuance of the 30 day pass.

1.7 Contractor personnel who are ineligible for a Common Access card (CAC) will be required to either obtain daily visitors pass or participate in the RAPIDGate Program. RAPIDGate is a voluntary program due to associated costs.

RAPIDGate Credential Holders

Vendors, suppliers, contractors, sub-contractors and service providers with RAPIDGate credentials may enter the installation operating single rear axle small to medium vehicles through any Access Control Point (ACP). Single axle trailers may be towed by RAPIDGate ID card holders that are operating small to medium vehicles through the above mentioned ACPs. RAPIDGate credential holders operating large multiple rear axle commercial vehicles or towing multiple axle trailers of any type are required to access the installation through ACP 7 or ACP 10. A large commercial vehicle is generally greater than 27 feet in length (cab and cargo area), generally has multiple rear axles and is designed for large load transportation and delivery. Examples include, but are not limited to: semi-trailers, delivery trucks, heavy equipment movers and other vehicles of similar size, shape or design.

Non-RAPIDGate Credential Holders

Vendors, suppliers, contractors, sub-contractors and service providers operating small to medium single rear axle privately owned passenger type vehicles may obtain a one day pass at the Gate 4 or Gate 7 Visitor Control Center. Hours of operation are 0500-2100, seven (7) days a week. Personnel operating the abovementioned vehicles may use the one (1) day pass for access at any ACP. All occupants of the vehicle must have either a one (1) day pass or an installation approved DoD issued identification card. All visitors and contractors will be vetted with an NCIC III check.

Vendors, suppliers, contractors, sub-contractors and service providers operating commercial vehicles or towing trailers of any type may obtain a one (1) day pass at the Gate 7 Commercial Vehicle Inspection checkpoint. The Gate 7 Commercial Vehicle Inspection checkpoint is operational 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Personnel operating the abovementioned vehicles may only enter the installation at the Gate 7 Commercial Vehicle Inspection checkpoint. All occupants of the vehicle must have either a one (1) day pass or an installation approved DoD issued identification card.

Access procedures for all personnel may change at any time due to installation security requirements.

1.8 iWATCH Training. The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall brief all employees on the local iWATCH program (training standards provided by the requiring activity Anti-Terrorism Training Officer (ATO)). This local developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 30 calendar days after contract award.

1.9 Eligibility Verification for Employment. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working to stop unauthorized employment. By using E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility of their employees, companies become part of the solution in addressing this problem. All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual and record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. E-Verify is mandatory for employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause.
