Common Access Card (CAC): Each Contractor employee will be required to obtain a CAC issued by the Government. Each Contractor employees' name, social security number, date of birth and email address will be entered into a database (by the COR) called the Contractor Verification System (CVS). CVS is an automated system to allow Contractors' personal information to be verified when applying for a new or renewal Government identification card referred to as the CAC. Once the Contractor employee's information is registered, the COR will electronically forward the form to the individual Contractor. Each Contractor employee is required to electronically fill out the CAC request form. Once the form is properly filled out, the COR will verify that they are authorized and required to have a CAC. The Contractor employee will be directed to go to the designated in-processing facility and obtain the CAC. All prescribed identification shall immediately be delivered to the COR for cancellation upon the release of any employee.

The Contractor shall be responsible for furnishing to each employee, and for requiring each employee to display or possess appropriate identification. The Contractor shall provide each employee an identification (ID) badge on contract start date or on employment start date.

Additionally, the Contractor shall obtain a Common Access Card (CAC) for those employees whose functions require access to systems or facilities controlled by the Common Access Card. All Contractor employees shall obtain CAC at DEERS/RAPIDS terminal when application is approved by the Government.

Should an employee leave prior to the contract expiration, the Contractor is responsible for ensuring the employee turns-in their CAC at that time.

Display of ID Badges: Contractor personnel shall wear the ID badge at all times unless it presents a safety hazard.

ID badges will be worn when performing work under this contract to include attending Government meetings and conferences. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, each Contractor employee shall wear the ID badge in a conspicuous place on the front of exterior clothing and above the waist except when safety or health reasons prohibit such placement.

Common Access Card (CAC) Badges: Employee CAC badges shall be issued prior to any employee performing work under this contract. FAR 52.204-9 implements Homeland Security Presidential Directive -12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-2 (FIPS PUB 201-2), which mandates that all federal employees and Contractor personnel with routine physical access to a Federally-controlled facility be issued a common identification with specific security, registration and identity proofing objectives.
