**KSC 52.204-96 SECURITY CONTROLS FOR KSC AND CCAFS (NOV 2006)**

A.  [Identification of Employees]{.underline}

    1.  Badging

        i.  Kennedy Space Center (KSC) badging is mandatory for all
            Contractor personnel (e.g. administrative, technical,
            Architect and Engineering, supervisory, construction crafts,
            etc.) who require access into KSC or Cape Canaveral Air
            Force Station (CCAFS). The contractor shall require each
            employee, and each subcontractor employee who require access
            to KSC or CCAFS to obtain identification badges, and special
            controlled area access badges, as necessary. Identification
            and badging of employees must be completed prior to issuance
            of a Notice to Proceed by the Contracting Officer, if
            applicable, or commencement of activities by unbadged
            employees.

        ii. Prior to proceeding with performance, the contractor shall
            submit the following information to the contracting officer,
            who will certify it and pass the information on to the
            Badging office:

            a.  Contract number and location of work site(s);

            b.  Contract commencement and completion dates;

            c.  Status as prime or subcontractor; and,

            d.  Name of the Contractor designated security/badging
                official. (Designated badging officials must receive a
                badging briefing, identifying badging
                requirements/restrictions, prior to being authorized as
                badging officials.)

        iii. During performance of this contract, issued badges shall be
             worn by contractor employees and prominently displayed at
             all times while on KSC or CCAFS property, unless wearing
             the badge creates a safety hazard. Upon termination of an
             employee, or completion/termination of the contract, the
             contractor shall immediately deliver such employee's
             identification and access badge(s) to the Security Badging
             office, either at a Pass and Identification Station (PIDS)
             or in the Visitor Records Center, Room 1470, KSC
             Headquarters Building. NASA Identification badges remain
             the property of NASA and the Government reserves the right
             to invalidate/confiscate such badges at any time.

        iv. To ensure timely and efficient issuance of identification
            and special access badges to contractor personnel,
            immediately after contract award but prior to notice to
            proceed or work on-site, the contractor shall designate in
            writing to the Contracting Officer a security/badging
            official for the contract/contractor. Concurrently, the
            designated security/badging official shall submit to the
            Contracting Officer a KSC Form 20-162 (Request for KSC
            Picture Badge) for each employee requiring access to KSC or
            CCAFS. This is the minimum paperwork required for each
            employee (and subcontractor employee) for issuance of
            identification badges only.

    2.  Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, Federal
        Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 201, and
        Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M-05-24
        Compliance

        i.  In compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive
            (HSPD) 12, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
            Publication 201, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
            Guidance M-05-24, all persons who will have access to
            government controlled facilities or access to a Federal
            information system for a period of in excess of 180 days
            must have a favorably completed National Agency Check with
            Written Inquiries (NACI). To accomplish this, the forms
            listed below need to be submitted to the Personnel Security
            Support Office, Room 1503, KSC Headquarters Building. FIPS
            Pub 201 requires identification verification be accomplished
            by the applicant (person to be badged) providing two items
            of identification listed in Department of Homeland Security
            (DHS) Form I-9.

            a.  KSC Form 20 -- 87, NASA PRP Investigation and
                Qualification Data Request;

            b.  FD Form 258, Fingerprint Card

            c.  Standard Form 85, Questionaire for Non-Sensitive
                Positions; and,

            d.  Optional Form 306, Declaration for Federal Position
                Employment.

B.  [Badging Restrictions/Categories]{.underline}

    1.  White Temporary Pass (WTP). Under current KSC security
        restrictions, an "Unescorted" White Temporary Pass (WTP) is
        required for unescorted entry through the KSC perimeter gates.
        (Permanent picture badges are no longer required.) The
        Contractor's designated security/badging official is authorized
        to request issuance of WTPs (or consent to retain existing WTPs)
        for those individuals that he/she can "vouch" for, based upon
        verification of U.S. citizenship and demonstrated work history.
        The contractor security/badging official is responsible for
        ensuring the integrity of this system, will be held accountable
        for issuance of a WTP to any unauthorized individual, and is
        responsible for the behavior of anyone for whom s/he authorizes
        a badge.

    2.  Pink Temporary Pass (PTP) Any individual for whom the designated
        security/badging official cannot "vouch" in accordance with the
        above criteria will be issued a "To Be Escorted" Pink Temporary
        Pass (PTP). All persons with PTPs, including vendors, must be
        signed in at the perimeter gate and escorted to and from the job
        site. The escort must maintain visual contact with their
        escortee(s) at all times and shall escort them off KSC property
        at the conclusion of their on-site work.

    3.  Green Temporary Pass (GTP). Persons who are not a United States
        citizen or are an employee of a foreign government, company, or
        other foreign entity must be so identified by being issued a
        green temporary pass. Each such employee must obtain individual
        prior approval for entry from the KSC International Visits
        Coordinator (IVC) in the NASA Protective Services Office (TA-G).

    4.  Access to Controlled Areas within KSC.

        i.  Certain areas within KSC have been designated as Controlled
            Areas. These are normally surrounded by fencing and have an
            entrance gate monitored by a security officer or a
            monitoring device. Access into such areas is classified as
            either "escorted" or "unescorted" access. For unescorted
            access into these areas, for each employee, the contractor
            must submit to the Contracting Officer's Technical
            Representative (COTR), in addition to the NACI forms listed
            above in paragraph A.3.a-d, a NASA Form 1730, Request for
            Unescorted Access/Personnel Reliability Program.

        ii. The NASA Protective Services Office, or its designee, the
            Personnel Security Support Office (PSSO), will determine
            whether the person is eligible for unescorted access within
            14 working days after the receipt of the properly completed
            forms and so inform the COTR. The COTR will notify the
            contractor of the NASA Protective Services Office's
            approval/disapproval. Access to controlled areas is granted
            when the requisite safety training has been successfully
            completed.

        iii. All contractor employees utilized on the job site will not
             require unescorted access. However, it is the contractor's
             responsibility to designate and submit the required
             information on a sufficient number to provide escort
             service to those not cleared for unescorted access. The
             contractor escort will be required to meet the work crew at
             the security area gate at the beginning of the Contractor's
             workday/shift and escort them as a group to the job site.
             The escort will keep the crews within site until they are
             escorted back to the area gate at the end of the workday.
             No authorized personnel will leave the immediate work area
             without an appropriately badged escort.

        iv. The Government will provide, at no cost to the contractor,
            investigative services for a designated number of
            employees/workers escorts. If, through attrition or
            personnel turnover, the contractor requires additional
            employees to be investigated for unescorted access, the
            contract price shall be reduced by \$100.00 per person in
            excess of the designated number. If, because of varying
            mobilization approaches, the contractor desires unescorted
            access for more than the stated quantity, the contractor may
            request additional clearances at a reduction in contract
            price of \$100.00 per person.

        v.  The prime contractor is responsible for providing escort
            services for any of his employees and/or any subcontractor
            employees who are not eligible for unescorted access. The
            Government will not provide escort service under this
            contract. The contractor shall be responsible for all delays
            and costs caused by its failure to provide for unescorted
            access. All requests for unescorted access by subcontractors
            will be submitted through the prime contractor to the COTR
            for processing by the NASA Protective Services Office, or
            its designee, the PSSO.

        vi. One or more on-site training classes may be required for
            admittance to the work area and for inclusion on the Job
            Site Access List for Controlled-access Areas. The total
            training will not exceed four hours. Contractors may
            schedule any required training for their employees by
            contacting the COTR. The Contractor shall maintain a record
            of employees receiving the training.

        vii. This project is to be performed in a limited access area.
             The designated number of employees for whom interim
             unescorted access investigations will be performed at no
             cost to the contractor is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (fill in
             quantity).
