Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Policy

(a) Definitions. As used in this policy –

“Sexual Assault” means –

A crime defined as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, physical threat or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent. Sexual assault includes rape, nonconsensual sodomy (oral or anal sex), indecent assault (unwanted, inappropriate sexual contact or fondling), or attempts to commit these acts. Sexual assault can occur without regard to gender or spousal relationship or age of victim. “Consent” will not be deemed or construed to mean the failure by the victim to offer physical resistance. Consent is not given when a person uses force, threat of force, or coercion or when the victim is asleep, incapacitated, or unconscious.

“Sexual Harassment” means –

Gender discrimination that involves unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature between the same or opposite sex genders when such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Categories of sexual harassment are:

(1) Verbal – Examples include telling sexual jokes; using sexually explicit profanity, threats, sexually oriented cadences, or sexual comments; whistling in a sexually suggestive manner; and describing certain attributes of one’s physical appearance in a sexual manner.

(2) Nonverbal – Examples include staring at someone, blowing kisses, winking, or licking one’s lips in a suggestive manner. The term may also include printed material (for example, displaying sexually oriented pictures or cartoons); using sexually oriented screen savers on one’s computer; or sending sexually oriented notes, letters, faxes or email.

(3) Physical Contact – Examples include touching, patting, pinching, bumping, grabbing, cornering, or blocking a passageway; kissing; and providing unsolicited back or neck rubs.

(b) Policy. The Department of Defense has adopted a policy to prevent sexual assault and sexual harassment. Contractors and contractor employees in the Army Central Command (ARCENT) Area of Responsibility (AOR) shall not –

(1) Commit acts of sexual assault against any person on any camp, post, installation, or other United States enclave within the ARCENT AOR; or

(2) Sexually harass any person on any camp, post, installation, or other United States enclave within the ARCENT AOR.

(c) Contractor requirements. The Contractor shall –

(1) Notify its employees of –

(i) The Department of Defenses’ policy described in paragraph (b); and

(ii) The actions that will be taken against employees for violations of this policy. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, removal from the contract, reduction in benefits, or termination of employment;

(2) Take appropriate action, up to and including termination, against employees or subcontractors that violate the policy in paragraph (b); and

(3) Annually train all employees to prevent sexual assault and sexual harassment. This training must, at a minimum, ensure that all contractor employees understanding the definitions outlined in paragraph (a) and the policy in paragraph (b). Each employee’s compliance with this training requirement shall be reported to the Contracting Officer’s Representative prior to the employee being allowed access to the worksite.

(d) Notification. The Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer immediately of –

(1) Any information it receives from any source (including host country law enforcement) that alleges a Contractor employee, subcontractor, or subcontractor employee has engaged in conduct that violates this policy; and

(2) Any actions taken against Contractor employees, subcontractors, or subcontractor employees pursuant to this policy.

(e) Remedies. In addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contractor's failure to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c), (d), or (f) of this policy may result in –

(1) Requiring the Contractor to remove a Contractor employee or employees from the performance of the contract;

(2) Requiring the Contractor to terminate a subcontract;

(3) Suspension of contract payments;

(4) Loss of award fee, consistent with the award fee plan, for the performance period in which the Government determined Contractor non-compliance;

(5) Termination of the contract for default or cause, in accordance with the termination clause of this contract; or

(6) Suspension or debarment.

(f) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this policy, including this paragraph (f), in all subcontracts.

(g) Mitigating Factor. The Contracting Officer may consider whether the Contactor had a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training program at the time of the violation as a mitigating factor when determining remedies. Additional information about Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training programs can be found at the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Home Page, http://www.sapr.mil.
