Contract personnel shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements specified in installation/facility policies and procedures. Contract personnel who do not meet requirements for unescorted access to USACE facilities shall coordinate escorted access with the Government representative, as needed. Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property shall comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

4. Contract personnel requiring a common access card (CAC): Contract personnel will be issued a common access card (CAC) only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access to DoD information systems or networks; (2) remote access to a DoD information system or network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. Before CAC issuance, contract personnel must have, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 investigation or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with applicable Army regulations and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). At the discretion of the RA, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of a fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation with the National Background Investigations Bureau. The RA provides contract personnel with additional information and forms to initiate the CAC issuance process, and/or to initiate background investigations, when required. Contract personnel shall complete these processes within established timelines to avoid delays.

5. Security requirements for contract performance outside the US: For contract performance requirements that involve services or delivery in a foreign country, the Contractor shall comply with the requirements of DFARS clause 252.225-7043, as applicable.

6. 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.

8. Threat Awareness Reporting Program: All contract personnel who maintain an active security clearance shall receive initial and annual refresher training on the Threat Awareness and Reporting Program (commonly referred to as “TARP”), provided by a Counterintelligence Agent. As determined by the servicing Counterintelligence Agent for the RA, contract personnel may complete web-based TARP training.

9. Escorting in classified and/or sensitive areas: In accordance with applicable regulations, all contract personnel who do not possess the appropriate security clearance or access privileges will be escorted in areas where they may be exposed to classified information or operations, sensitive information or activities, or restricted areas.
