Civilian personnel requesting access must have a valid reason to be on the federal installation, be sponsored by a Dod Civilian/military card holder, and be favorably vetted against the FBI's database. Once these conditions have been met, we will issue credentials in the form of either a pass or DOD identification card from the DBIDS System that we currently have in place.

National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) Criteria for Denial.

Army Senior Commanders will, in the absence of an approved waiver, deny uncleared individuals unescorted access to the installation based on the results of the NCIC-III and TSDB checks that contain credible derogatory information indicating that the individual may present a threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation. Such derogatory information includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. The NCIC-III contains criminal arrest information about the individual that causes the senior commander to determine that the individual presents a potential threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation.

2. The installation is unable to verify the individuals claimed identity based on the reasonable belief that the individual has submitted fraudulent information concerning his or her identity in the attempt to gain access.

3. The individual has a current arrest warrant in NCIC, regardless of the offense or violation.

4. The individual is currently barred from entry or access to a federal installation or facility.

5. The individual has been convicted of crimes encompassing sexual assault, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, production or possession of child pornography, trafficking humans, drug possession with the intent to sell or drug distribution.

DBIDS information required to issue passes/cards.

Stateside license, Personal data Ht/Wt/, Who the sponsor is, finger print/photo.

Before issuing ID cards to new employees or contractors, the standard requires agencies to conduct a background investigation of employees and contractors "who require long-term access to federally controlled facilities and/or information systems." This investigation would include agency initiation of the National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or a similar type of national security investigation. In the event credentials are issued without a completed NACI, the ID must be electronically distinguishable from those issued to individuals for whom the investigation has been completed.

c. Fort Jackson Directorate of Emergency Services (DES).

(1) Establish a program to vet contract personnel on Fort Jackson who are not authorized a DoD common access card under the CVS program.

(2) Establish a process to verify contractor employee vital information required to confirm their identity (enclosure 4).

(3) The DES Vetting Office will contact the prime contractor POC as listed on the contract data by e-mail when verification process has been completed to schedule a date and time for badges to be issued. If no e-mail address is listed for the prime contractor, the COR will be notified.

(4) Maintain a current list of all prime and subcontractors currently performing work on Fort Jackson.

(5) Provide a fixed site vetting processing capability located in Bldg 4394.

d. Contractors.

(1) All prime contractors must provide a letter requesting contactor badges (enclosure 3 & 4) signed by a designated representative from the company listing all employees who require access to Fort Jackson. A separate letter will be submitted for each sub contractor. The letters will be provided to the Government Contracting Officer (COR) of their contract that is responsible for providing this information to the DES Vetting Office. Requested contract data is to be e-mailed to_________,or faxed to________with a cover sheet indicating it was sent from the COR. The letter will list the last name, first name, middle initial, social security number of the employee, and have as attachments the E-Verify status and criminal check. Badge request will be kept on file for 90 days from the date the request is received. A new request will be required for any individual that has not received their badge within ninety days.

(2) The contractor is responsible for collecting badges from employees and returning those to the DES Vetting Office once the employee ceases to work on the contract. The contractor will notify the DES Vetting Office when a badge is lost or cannot be recovered from the employee. In the event a badge is lost, the prime contractor will provide a request for replacement badge (enclosure 5) to the DES Vetting Office by e-mail or fax. It is understood this is difficult, but the contractor will make a best effort to obtain the badge and provide a document of his efforts to the COR and the Vetting Office.

(3) It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide arm bands or other special means to display ID badge so that the badge would not interfere with safety or the performance of duty.

(4) Contractors are required to verify all social security numbers for their employees prior to submitting the letter to the government COR. One recommended system for social security number verification is the Social Security Administration web based system at: http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv/htm. Refer to the step-by-step instructions for registering.

e. Badges.

f. Legal Hiring by Individuals. Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (enclosure 6) provides detailed procedural requirements employers must follow before hiring any individual. All employers, regardless of the size of their respective business, must verify the identity and work authorization of every new hire, citizen, or alien. This includes reviewing documents which establish the employee’s legal identity and his/her eligibility to be employed in the United States. If the employee is being hired for three or fewer days, verification must be done immediately when employment commences.

g. Non-compliance. Contractor employees found without badges can be escorted to post boundaries, and referred to the COR. Violations could form the basis for adverse contract action under the rights and remedies of the contract term and conditions.

Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) Mutual Agreement between Government and Employer (IMAGE) Program

1. It is highly desired all prime and subcontractors working on Fort Jackson join the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) Program and become IMAGE certified. A known vulnerability on Fort Jackson has been the presence of unauthorized aliens (undocumented workers) who have secured jobs by fraudulent means, including presentation of false documents, completion of fraudulent benefit applications, and theft of identities. To combat unlawful employment and reduce vulnerabilities that help illegal aliens gain employment, the Department of Homeland security (DHS) recently introduced the ICE Mutual Agreement between the Government and Employers (IMAGE) program. The goal is to assist employers in targeted sectors to develop a more secure and stable workforce and enhance fraudulent documentation awareness through education and training. The website for IMAGE is http:/www.ice.gov/partners/opaimage/

2. Upon enrollment and implementation of the DHS’s best hiring practices program participants will be deemed “IMAGE Certified”—a distinction DHS believes will become an industry standard.

3. All IMAGE participants gain membership to DHS’s Basic Pilot Employment Verification Program administrated by USCIS. Though this employee authorization verification program, employers can verify newly hired employees are eligible to work in the United States. The internet-based system is available in all 50 states and is currently free to employers. It provides an automated link to the Social Security Administration database and DHS immigration records. To sign up for participation in the Basic Pilot Employment Verification Program, visit the registration Web site http://www.is-dhs.com/EmployerRegistration/
