Although these contracts may not be classified, contractor employees are required to have obtained a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Local Agency and Credit Checks (NACLC) determination at a minimum. The Department of the Defense (DoD) has determined that all DoD Information systems are sensitive regardless of whether the information is classified or unclassified. A contractor whose work involves access to sensitive unclassified information warrants a judgment of an employee's trustworthiness. Therefore, all personnel accessing DoD Computer systems must undergo investigation for a position of trust to verify their trustworthiness. Also, Commands will include Facility Access Determination (FAD) program requirements in the contract specifications when determinations for facility access only will be required on the contractor employees. The following addresses those requirements for Security. NO FOREIGN NATIONAL WILL BE EMPLOYED ON THIS GOVERNMENT CONTRACT. This clause does not apply to employees hired overseas In accordance with Status of Forces Agreements, Diplomatic (memorandums) of understanding or other Host Nation Agreements. Employees hired under these agreements are subject to local pre-employment checks. "Each contractor employee shall comply with the HSPD-12 E-Verify Federal Acquisition Regulations FAR Clause 52.222-54 Employment Eligibility Verification" All contractors, working within DoD Spaces must be entered into the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS), and then owned by their contracting company facility security officer (FSO). The receiving command Security Manager will then service those individuals in JPAS for tracking and monitoring of their investigation status. If no previous investigation exists the contractor personnel shall complete the requirement for a NACLC. NACLC's for positions of trust will be processed through the receiving command Security Manager. Investigative requirements for DoD Contractor personnel requiring access to classified information are managed under the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). Requests for investigation of contractor personnel for security clearance eligibility are processed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and adjudicated by Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO). The Contractor shall ensure that a complete security package, (SF-85, SF-85P, SF-86 and FD258 2 copies) are submitted to the Command Security Officer receiving the contracted services in order for the Security Officer to conduct a suitability review of the submitted investigative forms. The Contractor FSO or security representative shall ensure that individuals assigned to the command are U.S. citizens and will ensure completion of the SF-85P or SF-86. The SF-85P or SF-86 along with the original signed release statements and two applicant fingerprint cards (FD 258) will be forwarded to the receiving command Security Manager at least one week prior to reporting for duty. Personnel cannot be properly processed and provided system access prior to their reporting date without receiving the investigative paperwork one week prior. For contracts requiring a position of trust the Command Security Officer will submit the forms for a position of trust. For classified contracts the contractor FSO will submit the SF-86 to OPM for processing and eventual adjudication by DISCO. The completed SF-85P or SF-86 will be reviewed by the receiving command Security Manager for completeness, accuracy and suitability prior to the submission. If the contractor appears suitable after the questionnaire has been reviewed, the request will be forwarded to OPM. The completed SF-85P or SF-86 along with attachments will be forwarded to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) who will conduct the NACI investigation or equivalent. All contract personnel will in-process with the receiving command Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the command and will out-process prior to their departure. Please note: When processing a Questionnaire for National Security Positions, the applicants can only access the e-QIP system if they have been instructed to do so by an appropriate official at sponsoring agency. Individuals cannot pre-apply for a security clearance, nor update their security questionnaire, unless granted access by an appropriate agency official. The e-QIP software can be accessed at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) website http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/index.asp or http://www.dss.mil the contractor shall provide the completed Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions, or Questionnaire for National Security Positions with the original signed release statements and two applicant fingerprint cards (FD 258) to the receiving command Security Manager for suitability determination. The receiving command Security Manager will review the form for completeness, accuracy and suitability issues, and forward to OPM as detailed on the OPM website. Applicants can obtain an SF-86 or SF-85P by visiting the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) website located at: http://www.opm.gov/forms/html/sf.asp. The responsibility for providing the fingerprint cards rests with the contractor. The Department of the Army will provide the completed investigation to the receiving command Security Manager for the determination in cases where a favorable determination cannot be reached due to the discovery of potentially derogatory information. The command will provide written notification to the contractor advising whether or not the contractor employee will be admitted to command areas or be provided access to unclassified but sensitive business information. Determinations are the sole prerogative of the commanding officer of the sponsor activity. If the commanding officer determines, upon review of the investigation, that allowing a person to perform certain duties or access to certain areas, would pose an unacceptable risk, that decision is final. No due process procedures are required. The contractor employee shall take all lawful steps available to ensure that information provided or generated pursuant to this arrangement is protected from further disclosure unless the agency provides written consent to such disclosure. Security clearance requirements are defined in the DD-254 of the basic contract for those contracts that will require employees to handle classified information. The FSO will ensure that the SAAR-N is forwarded to the receiving command Security Manager for receipt at least one week prior to the start date for the individual. "ALL AUTHORIZED USERS OF DoD INFORMATION SYSTEMS SHALL RECEIVE INITIAL INFORMATION ASSURANCE IA ORIENTATION AS A CONDITION OF ACCESS AND THEREAFTER MUST COMPLETE ANNUAL IA REFRESHER AWARENESS TRAINING TO MAINTAIN AN ACTIVE USER ACCOUNT." Pre-employment Clearance Action: Employees requiring access to classified information, upon reporting to their position, will be read into access by the local command security representative. A local classified material handling indoctrination will take place at that time. The I-9 form lists acceptable forms of identification that can be provided to prove U.S. citizenship. Dual citizens are required to renounce their secondary citizenship in order to work for the U.S. government. Citizenship can be renounced by turning in the foreign national passport to a government security officer for destruction or to the originating embassy of the passport. Individuals should request a signed affidavit from their embassy recognizing the renouncing of their citizenship. 11.1 Acceptable Proof of Citizenship a.
