When contractor employees require access to a Government computer, the contractor employee shall be required to obtain a Common Access Card. To do so, the contractor employee shall request a CAC Card through the COR. NOTE: The Government issued CAC is the property of the U.S. Government and shall be returned to the COR upon expiration of the contract, replacement or termination of the contract employee (CAC card must be turned in to the COR on contractor employee's last day of employment). Unauthorized possession of the CAC can be prosecuted criminally under section 701, title 18, United States Code. All contractor employees shall conduct official communication using Government-owned or provided e-mail, networks, websites, systems, and devices. The use of commercial ISP e-mail accounts or personal e-mail accounts to conduct official communication is prohibited. Remote access / telework technology may be leveraged to ensure compliance with these requirements. Contractor employees are prohibited from using Army-assigned, AKO, and other official e-mail addresses for unofficial business affiliations. Personnel shall not provide official e-mail addresses to businesses, affiliated organizations, or online retailers; unless those entities are known by personnel to be legitimately engaging in official business.

1.6.7.15. 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.

16.7.16 Physical Security: The contractor shall be responsible for safeguarding all Government equipment, information and property provided for contractor use. At the close of each work period, Government facilities, equipment, and materials shall be secured.

1.6.7.17 Key Control: The Contractor shall establish and implement methods of making sure all keys/key cards issued to the Contractor by the Government are not lost or misplaced and are not used by unauthorized persons.

NOTE: All references to keys include key cards. No keys issued to the Contractor by the Government shall be duplicated. The Contractor shall develop procedures covering key control that shall be included in the Quality Control Plan. Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. The Contractor shall immediately report any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys/key cards to the Contracting Officer.

In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Contracting Officer, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the replacement of locks or re-keying is performed by the Government, the total cost of re-keying or the replacement of the lock or locks shall be deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system shall be replaced by the Government and the total cost deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor.

The Contractor shall prohibit the use of Government issued keys/key cards by any persons other than the Contractor’s employees. The Contractor shall prohibit the opening of locked areas by Contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than Contractor employees engaged in the performance of assigned work in those areas, or personnel authorized entrance by the Contracting Officer.

1.6.7.18 Lock Combinations: The Contractor shall establish and implement methods of ensuring that all lock combinations are not revealed to unauthorized persons. The Contractor shall ensure that lock combinations are changed when personnel having access to the combinations no longer have a need to know such combinations.

These procedures shall be included in the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan.

1.6.8 Staffing and Personnel Qualifications: The contractor is responsible for the overall management and oversight of this contract. It is the contractor’s responsibility to staff and deploy qualified contractor personnel to meet all of the PWS requirements. The Government’s class load data is provided under Technical Exhibit 4.
