The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts.

The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative.

Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures --this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

b. Antiterrorism (AT) Level I training: Please use the revised wording below instead of the Proposed Language because it provides more detailed guidance to access the training: Please use the revised wording below instead of the Proposed Language because it provides more detailed guidance to access the training: All contractor and subcontractor employees, requiring access to Army installations, facilities, controlled access areas, or require network access, shall complete AT Level I Awareness Training within 30 calendar days after contract start date. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each applicable contract employee and subcontractor employee, to the Contracting Officer (COR), within 5 calendar days after completion of training.

The contractor shall provide the District Security Office with any/all requested information which may be required for background screenings, checks and/or investigations to meet installation/facility access requirements. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DOD, HQDA and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any installation or facility change, the

Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes. Since this is a delivery and/or supply only, there are no investigation requirements.

However, the Contractor(s) will be escorted at all times inside the restricted area.”

d. Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity. The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall receive training on the local Suspicious Activity Reporting Program. This training identifies behavioral indicators and provides guidance reporting suspicious activity. 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 5 calendar days after the completion of the training. The iWatch training for contractors is available at: https://www.dvidshub.net/video/871898/iwatch-army-2023-public-service-announcement

a. File Size Limitations: Offerors are advised to follow the PIEE instructions for uploading files. PIEE supports delivery of up to 1.9GB per file, with no limit on the number of files, as well as multiple file formats. If needed, Offerors are advised to break the files down into smaller sections in order to upload them into the system. In such cases, please divide the sections as logically as possible and be sure to clearly name the files as specified below.

b. File Description: To ensure your submission is received and processed appropriately, it is important that interested parties CAREFULLY ensure their electronic files adhere to the following naming convention.
