1.4.4 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services between the hours of 0730-1630 WED thru SUN, except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. Performance shall be at Range Control Building, Camp Smith Training Site, Cortlandt Manor, New York 10567.

The contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate work force for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility/installation is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential.

1.4.4.1 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Personnel may occur at any time, causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.4.4.2 The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation; including fire, traffic, safety and security regulations while on the installation.

Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times.

The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation which may affect performance.

1.4.4.3 The contractor is cautioned that if off-duty active military personnel are hired under this contract, they may be subject to permanent change of station, change in duty hours, or deployment. Military Reservists and National Guard members may be subject to recall to active duty. The absence of such employees shall not constitute an excuse for nonperformance under this contract.

1.4.5 Security Requirements. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from the Contracting

1.4.5.1 COMSEC/IT Security. All communications with DOD organizations are subject to communications security (COMSEC) review. All telephone communications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. DOD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from, or terminating at, DOD organizations. Therefore, the contractor is advised that any time contractor place or receive a call they are subject to COMSEC procedures.

Doing so facilitates fraud and identity impersonation.

1.4.5.2 Use of Government Information Systems (IS) and access to Government networks is a revocable privilege, not a right. Users are the foundation of the DoD strategy and their actions affect the most vulnerable portion of the AEI. Contractor employees shall have a favorable background investigation or hold a security clearance and access approvals commensurate with the level of information processed or available on the system.

1.4.5.3 Protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The contractor shall protect all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) encountered in the performance of services in accordance with DFARS 224.103 and DoDD 5400.11, Department of Defense Privacy Program, and DoD 5400.11-R.

In accordance with Directive Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-003, December 1, 2008, incorporating Change 5, October 8, 2013, Initial issuance of a CAC requires at a minimum, the completion of FBI fingerprint check with favorable results reflecting "No Record" and submission of a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), or a DoD-determined equivalent investigation. The issuance of a CAC will be based on four criteria; (a) eligibility for a CAC; (b) verification of DoD affiliation from an authoritative data source; (c) completion of background vetting requirements according to the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-1, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, March 2006, and DOD Regulation 5200.2-R, Department of Defense Personnel Security Program, January 1987, and (d) verification of a claimed identity. CAC eligible personnel shall be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) through either an authoritative personnel data feed from the appropriate Service or Agency or Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS).

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at attachment (TBD), at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward to the NGB Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages;

the first will confirm that the request has been received by the Office of Personnel Management, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the BI will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system are complied with immediately. The contractor is cautioned that the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from 2-6 weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process. The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.

1.4.5.4.ii. Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS): The contractor is responsible for processing applications for Common Access Cards (CAC) for every contractor employee who deploys with the military force OR who has need to access any government computer network in accordance with FAR 52.204-9, "Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel."

The norm is at least ten calendar days advance notice to the Trusted Agent (TA), unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer.

The contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a government computer network. This can be done by going to: http://www.us.army.mil and register as an "Army Guest," with the sponsor being the COR or a COR designated individual if the COR is ineligible to Serve as an AKO Sponsor. Note: If an employee of a contractor loses the Privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore it is critical that contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

It is recommend that a "Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) be designated to serve as your firm's single point of contact for Background Investigation (BI), the TASS application process and other CAC and security related matters. If a FSO is not established, each contractor employee requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications.

CAC applications shall be processed through the TASS.

The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at: https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/.
