for]{.underline} [Sensitive Duties (MAY 2006) FM1416]{.underline}**

\(a\) GENERAL

\(1\) Risk Level Designation. If the services provided by contractor or
subcontractor personnel are classified as sensitive or involve access to
FMS automated information systems or staff-like access to FMS occupied
facilities, the Performance Work Statement is given a

risk designation level by the FMS Security Branch. The risk designation
is the same risk designation applicable to Federal employees performing
similar tasks. The risk designation level determines the level of
background investigation necessary to clear the contractor or
subcontractor personnel for work on the contract.

\(2\) Citizenship Requirements. All personnel working on this contract
will require a security/background investigation, and shall be U.S.
citizens, or have lawful permanent resident status. There is no waiver
policy regarding non-citizens.

\(b\) DESIGNATED SECURITY LEVEL/CATEGORIES OF PERSONNEL REQUIRING
INVESTIGATION

The FMS Security Office has designated the contractor services as
described in the Performance Work Statement for this task order at the
LOW risk level.

The awardee's project manager and alternate project manager will require
a background investigation for the low risk level prior to beginning
work on this task order.

(c)REQUESTING THE INVESTIGATION/SUBMITTING SECURITY FORMS

Each contractor employee requiring a background investigation is
required to complete a security questionnaire, e.g., SF 85, SF 85P or SF
86 and OF 306 and the supplemental documents. In addition, Fingerprints
and Authority for Release of Information forms are also required.
Hereafter, the above forms will be referred to as Security Forms.
Failure of a contractor employee to submit the Security Forms within
seven working days from receiving the forms will be grounds for removal
from the contract.

The Contracting Officer and/or COTR will provide the contractors'
designated representative Security Forms for each of the personnel
requiring an investigation.

The contractor shall submit the completed Security Forms, in sealed
envelopes, to the Contracting Officer or COTR within seven days of
receipt of the forms. Security Forms will be returned to the employee if
necessary data is missing or incomplete. An employee may be requested to
make corrections or amendments to Security Forms in person in the FMS
Personnel Security Office. When a cleared employee transferred,
terminated, or will otherwise no longer be working on the contract, the
contractor shall notify the FMS Personnel Security Office within three
calendar days of such action.

\(d\) INTERIM APPROVALS. Interim approvals may be granted upon receipt
and review of the Security Forms, or after preliminary security checks
have been conducted, if determined by the Security Officer to be
warranted. Final approval for appropriate access to perform the duties
may be granted upon completion of the investigation and a suitability
determination has been made.

\(e\) PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS. Investigations
conduced previously by other Federal agencies may be used in lieu of
conducting a new investigation, if the investigation meets current
Office of Personnel Management and FMS requirements. A determination on
the suitability of a previous investigation will be made by the FMS
Security Officer after receipt of an updated SF 86 with a current
signature not older than thirty days.

[Contractor Responsibilities.]{.underline} The Contractor shall ensure
its employees fully cooperate and participate in any and all
training/meetings/ gatherings/announcements called or made by FMS
management and determined to be of relevance to all on-site personnel,
including but not limited to matters concerning public health, emergency
preparedness, IT security, and the Privacy Act. The Contractor's project
management shall ensure all on-site employees are informed of such
announcements and attend said training/ meetings/gatherings and complete
any accompanying certifications evidencing attendance of same.
Contractor project management shall ensure that such certifications are
completed timely by its on-site employees and provided to the COTR or
other appropriate point of contact for collection.

[Government Responsibilities.]{.underline} The Government will provide
advanced notice, whenever practicable, of any and all
training/meetings/gatherings/announcements called or made by FMS
management and determined to be of relevance to all on-site personnel,
including but not limited to matters concerning public health, emergency
preparedness, IT security, and the Privacy Act. The Government will make
available to on-site Contractor employees the same resources
(educational materials in electronic and hardcopy format,
speakers/trainers, and meeting space) offered to federal employees in
furtherance of informing/educating all on-site personnel of matters
deemed by FMS senior management to be of such significance and
applicability to on-site contractor employees.

[Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement.]{.underline} The
Contractor shall save and hold harmless and indemnify the Government
against any and all liability, claims, and costs of whatever kind and
nature for injury to or death of any person or persons and for loss or
damage to any property occurring in connection with, or in any way under
the terms of this contract, resulting in whole or in part from the
negligent act or omissions of the Contractor.

[Clearances.]{.underline} The Contractor is responsible for providing
personnel who are capable of obtaining a Government clearance. Security
packages will be issued within three (3) working days of contract award.
Designated contractor staff shall begin security processing immediately
upon contract award. When and if an interim clearance is suitable, and
is granted, the individual involved will be required to begin work at
that time on FMS' premises. Contractor personnel shall protect privacy
data, passwords, access codes, and other data needed in performance of
work under this contract. Contractor personnel found to violate
Government Security regulations and procedures shall be immediately
removed from the contract.

[Status.]{.underline} In accordance with Treasury Directive 71-10,
contractors hired for work within the U.S., or its territories and
possessions, who require access to Treasury owned or controlled
facilities, information systems, security systems, or products and/or
sensitive but unclassified information shall either be a U.S. Citizen or
have Lawful Permanent Resident status.

**6.6 [Personnel Identification and Verification (PIV
Compliance)]{.underline}**

verification procedures that implement HSPD-12, OMB guidance memorandum
M-05-24 and FIPS Pub 201. To ensure that we are in compliance with the
Treasury Directives, provide the name, social security number, and
anticipated physical location of each Contractor or subcontractor
employee immediately after security processing is requested. If the
