- Description
- This amendment is to provide an update to a Department of Interior Clause which shall be incorporated to contract award and required for the incumbent to provide for implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 12 (HSPD-12). DOI Clause 144807-12 reads as follows: CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL CLEARANCE AND IDENTITY CREDENTIALS SEPTEMBER 2006 (a) FWS rules regarding physical security and personnel security apply to all personnel in FWS facilities. FWS Human Resources Division is responsible for maintaining these rules and procedures. (b) Each contractor (or subcontractor) employee requiring recurring access to FWS facilities and/or information systems will be required to submit to a background investigation in accordance with FWS procedures. The type of background investigation required is based on the risk/sensitivity level designation, as described in the Statement of Work. For most facilities, this clearance is required to obtain a DOI-issued identification credential (badge), but the investigation is required whether or not the facility has a badging/credential policy. This clearance/credential requirement does not apply if the contractor does not have any unsupervised IT system access and will only need building access for less than 6 months or only occasional building access (such as for periodic equipment maintenance). In those cases, building procedures for visitors will be applied. (c) The contractor will provide a listing to the COR/Government Point of Contact (POC) at least 2 weeks before starting work (or as otherwise specified in the contract) identifying contractor and subcontractor employees requiring access to FWS facilities or systems for performance of work hereunder. (d) The Contractor employees are required to complete the applicable clearance request forms by the COR/Government POC. The following forms, or their equivalent may be used to initiate the credentialing process: SF 85 or SF 85-P (which includes authorization for credit check), SF 86, OF-306, and/or other forms designated for this purpose by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Federal Protective Service, or other federal agency in whose space work will be performed under this contract. The SF 86 must be completed on-line at http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/ and printed out by the employee. Contractor employees must present themselves for fingerprinting, together with the printed SF 86, other completed forms, at least 14 calendar days before starting work under this contract. If fewer than 14 days remain before the scheduled start of contract performance, the contractor employee may be allowed temporary, supervised access but must complete this application process as soon as practicable, normally within a day of his or her first arrival at the facility. An employee's refusal to provide or authorize provision of information may constitute grounds for denial or revocation of credentials. Government personnel may contact the contractor/subcontractor employee being screened or investigated in person, by telephone or in writing, and the contractor agrees to make them available for such contact. If a contractor employee already holds a credential issued by a Federal agency after clearance through OPM, provide documentation supporting this status to the COR/Government POC. FWS Human Resources officials will determine if the existing clearance can be accepted without further investigation. (e) Badges/credentials issued upon satisfactory completion of a preliminary National Agency Check (NAC) may be revoked if the subsequent NAC with Inquiries (NACI) investigation produces an unfavorable determination. Individuals who do not pass the background investigation cannot be permitted to hold a building pass, allowed entry into the building for contract work, or permitted access to FWS systems (whether remote or on-site). In such cases, the Contractor will be required to sign (or have their subcontractor sign) a notification form indicating that their employee has been informed of the results of the background check. The Government will be the final authority in determining access privileges. The Government's exercise of its right to grant or revoke the access of particular individual(s) to its facilities, systems, or parts thereof shall not constitute a breach or change to the Contract, regardless of its impact on any individual's ability to perform work under the Contract. (f) During all operations on Government premises, contractor personnel shall comply with the rules and regulations governing the conduct of personnel and the operation of the facility. Government-issued identity credential must be worn upon entry and displayed at all times on Federally controlled property, unless otherwise instructed by the COR/Government POC. (g) The Government reserves the right to require a re-submission of clearance forms and a new background investigation at any time. Failure to provide the documents within the specified time period will result in removal of the employee until such time that the documents are submitted and clearance granted. Should removal be necessary, salary/wages and other costs associated with the removed employee are not allowable or allocable under this contract. If removal would result in understaffing or non-performance of contract requirements, the Contractor shall provide a qualified and cleared replacement. Failure to do so will entitle the Government to a downward adjustment in price reflecting the reduced level of performance. (h) When any of their personnel leaves the company's employment, is reassigned to other work, or otherwise no longer requires access to FWS facilities or FWS computer systems, the contractor shall immediately advise the COR/Government POC so that those user accounts and credentials can be cancelled. The contractor will ensure that the ID badge and keys (if any) are retrieved and promptly returned to the COR/Government POC, who will forward them to the issuing FWS HR official. The COR/Government POC must be notified in advance of any potentially unfriendly termination of an employee or subcontractor. (i) The contractor will report any lost keys or badges to the COR/Government POC within 24 hours. The COR/Government POC will relay the information to the responsible HR official. All badges and keys shall be returned to the COR/Government POC at the completion of the contract. (j) The requirement of this clause must be included in any subcontracts in which subcontract workers will need building or unsupervised system access as described in paragraph (b).
