of 90 days after the order is delivered to the Contractor, and for any further period to 

which the parties may agree. The order shall be specifically identified as a stop-work 

order issued under this clause. Upon receipt of the order, the Contractor shall

Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule, the estimated cost, 

the fee, or a combination thereof, and in any other terms of the contract that may be 

affected, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if -

Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this 

contract; and 

(2) The Contractor asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end 

of the period of work stoppage; provided that, if the Contracting Officer decides 

the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the 

claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.

terminated for the convenience of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall allow 

reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order in arriving at the termination 

settlement.

terminated for default, the Contracting Officer shall allow, by equitable adjustment or 

otherwise, reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order.

receiving dock, at the expense of the Contractor. The Government shall not be 

liable for any delivery, storage, demurrage, accessorial, or other charges 

involved before the actual delivery (or constructive placement as defined in 

carrier tariffs) of the supplies to the destination, unless such charges are caused 

by an act or order of the Government acting in its contractual capacity. If rail 

carrier is used, supplies shall be delivered to the specified unloading platform of 

the consignee. If motor carrier (including piggyback) is used, supplies shall be 

delivered to truck tailgate at the unloading platform of the consignee, except

Motor Freight Classification for heavy or bulky freight. When supplies meeting the 

requirements of the referenced Item 568 are delivered, unloading (including 

movement to the tailgate) shall be performed by the consignee, with assistance 

from the truck driver, if requested. If the contractor uses rail carrier or freight 

forwarded for less than carload shipments, the contractor shall ensure that the 

carrier will furnish tailgate delivery, when required, if transfer to truck is required 

to complete delivery to consignee. 

 (b) The Contractor shall - 

(1)(i) Pack and mark the shipment to comply with contract specifications; or 

 (ii) In the absence of specifications, prepare the shipment in conformance with

planned purchases or NASA Form 533 (NF 533 Contractor Financial Management 

Report) cost estimates. It should be supported and documented by historical experience 

or other corroborating evidence, and be retained in accordance with FAR Subpart 4.7, 

Contractor Records Retention. Contractors shall validate the reasonableness of the 

estimates and associated methodology by comparing them to the actual activity once 

that data is available, and adjust them accordingly. In addition, differences between the 

estimated cost and actual cost must be adjusted during the next reporting period. 

Contractors shall have formal policies and procedures, which address the validation of 

NF 1018 data, including data from subcontractors, and the identification and timely 

reporting of errors. The objective of this validation is to ensure that information reported 

is accurate and in compliance with the NASA FAR Supplement. If errors are discovered 

on NF 1018 after submission, the contractor shall contact the cognizant NASA Center 

Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 30 days after discovery of the error to discuss 

corrective action. 

 (2) The Contracting Officer may, in NASA’s interest, withhold payment until a 

reserve not exceeding $25,000 or 5 percent of the amount of the contract, whichever is 

less, has been set aside, if the Contractor fails to submit annual NF 1018 reports in 

accordance with NFS subpart 1845.71 and any supplemental instructions for the current 

reporting period issued by NASA. Such reserve shall be withheld until the Contracting 

Officer has determined that NASA has received the required reports. The withholding of 

any amount or the subsequent payment thereof shall not be construed as a waiver of 

any Government right. 

 

 (d) A final report shall be submitted within 30 days after disposition of all property 

subject to reporting when the contract performance period is complete in accordance 

with paragraph (b)(1) through (3) of this clause.

final (in which instance the Government will thereafter have the right to cancel or ignore 

the markings at any time and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure 

prohibitions), or by final disposition of the matter by court decision if suit is filed.

submitted by the Contractor under this contract. By submitting this proposal or 

performing this contract, the Contractor agrees that NASA may release to its 

service providers, their subcontractors, and their individual employees, sensitive 

information submitted during the course of this procurement, subject to the 

enumerated protections mandated by the clause at 1852.237-72, Access to 

Sensitive Information. 

(c) (1) The Contractor shall identify any sensitive information submitted in support 

of this proposal or in performing this contract. For purposes of identifying 

sensitive information, the Contractor may, in addition to any other notice or 

legend otherwise required, use a notice similar to the following: 

Mark the title page with the following legend: 

This proposal or document includes sensitive information that NASA shall not 

disclose outside the Agency and its service providers that support management 

activities and administrative functions. To gain access to this sensitive 

information, a service provider's contract must contain the clause at NFS 

1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. Consistent with this clause, the 

service provider shall not duplicate, use, or disclose the information in whole or in 

part for any purpose other than to perform the services specified in its contract. 

This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use this information if it is 

obtained from another source without restriction. The information subject to this 

restriction is contained in pages [insert page numbers or other identification of 

pages]. Mark each page of sensitive information the Contractor wishes to restrict 

with the following legend: 

Use or disclosure of sensitive information contained on this page is subject to the 

restriction on the title page of this proposal or document. 

(2) The Contracting Officer shall evaluate the facts supporting any claim 

that particular information is "sensitive." This evaluation shall consider the 

time and resources necessary to protect the information in accordance 

with the detailed safeguards mandated by the clause at 1852.237-72, 

Access to Sensitive Information. However, unless the Contracting Officer 

decides, with the advice of Center counsel, that reasonable grounds exist 

to challenge the Contractor's claim that particular information is sensitive,

NASA and its service providers and their employees shall comply with all 

of the safeguards contained in paragraph (d) of this clause. 

(d) To receive access to sensitive information needed to assist NASA in 

accomplishing management activities and administrative functions, the service 

provider must be operating under a contract that contains the clause at 

1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. This clause obligates the service 

provider to do the following: 

(1) Comply with all specified procedures and obligations, including the 

Organizational Conflicts of Interest Avoidance Plan, which the contract 

has incorporated as a compliance document. 

(2) Utilize any sensitive information coming into its possession only for the 

purpose of performing the services specified in its contract. 

(3) Safeguard sensitive information coming into its possession from 

unauthorized use and disclosure. 

(4) Allow access to sensitive information only to those employees that 

need it to perform services under its contract. 

(5) Preclude access and disclosure of sensitive information to persons and 

entities outside of the service provider's organization. 

(6) Train employees who may require access to sensitive information 

about their obligations to utilize it only to perform the services specified in 

its contract and to safeguard it from unauthorized use and disclosure. 

(7) Obtain a written affirmation from each employee that he/she has 

received and will comply with training on the authorized uses and 

mandatory protections of sensitive information needed in performing this 

contract. 

(8) Administer a monitoring process to ensure that employees comply with 

all reasonable security procedures, report any breaches to the Contracting 

Officer, and implement any necessary corrective actions. 

(e) When the service provider will have primary responsibility for operating an 

information technology system for NASA that contains sensitive information, the 

service provider's contract shall include the clause at 1852.204-76, Security 

Requirements for Unclassified Information Technology Resources. The Security 

Requirements clause requires the service provider to implement an Information

PIV Card Issuance Procedures in accordance with FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity 

Verification of Contractor Personnel

FIPS 201 Appendix A graphically displays the following procedure for the issuance of a PIV credential. 

Figure A-1, FIPS 201, Appendix A 

The following steps describe the procedures for the NASA Personal Identity Verification Card Issuance 

(PCI) of a PIV credential: 

Step 1: 

The Contractor’s Corporate Security Officer (CSO), Program Manager (PM), or Facility Security Officer 

(FSO) submits a formal letter that provides a list of contract employees (applicant) names requesting 

access to the NASA Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). In the case of a foreign 

national applicant, approval through the NASA Foreign National Management System (NFNMS) must be 

obtained for the visit or assignment before any processing for a PIV credential can take place. Further, if 

the foreign national is not under a contract where a COTR has been officially designated, the foreign 

national will provide the information directly to their visit/assignment host, and the host sponsor will 

fulfill the duties of the COTR mentioned herein. In each case, the letter shall provide notification of the 

contract or foreign national employee’s (hereafter the “applicant”) full name (first, middle and last), social 

security number (SSN) or NASA Foreign National Management System Visitor Number if the foreign 

national does not have a SSN, and date of birth. If the contract employee has a current satisfactorily 

completed National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher degree of 

background investigation, the letter shall indicate the type of investigation, the agency completing the 

investigation, and date the investigation was completed. Also, the letter must specify the risk/sensitivity 

level associated with the position in which each applicant will be working (NPR 1600.1, §4.5 is germane) 
Contract NNG15CR65C 

Attachment I 

3 

(06/2014) 

Further, the letter shall also acknowledge that contract employees may be denied access to NASA 

information or information systems based on an unsatisfactory background investigation/adjudication. . 

After reviewing the letter for completeness and concurring with the risk/sensitivity levels, the COTR/host 

must forward the letter to the Center Chief of Security (CCS). The CCS shall review the OPM databases 

(e.g., DCII, PIP, et al.), and take appropriate steps to validate the applicant’s investigation status. 

Requirements for a NACI or other investigation shall be initiated only if necessary. 

Applicants who do not currently possess the required level of background investigation shall be directed 

to the e-QIP web site to complete the necessary background investigation forms online. The CCS shall 

provide to the COTR/host information and instructions on how to access the e-QIP for each contract or 

foreign national employee requiring access 

Step 2:

Upon acceptance of the letter/background information, the applicant will be advised that in order to 

complete the investigative process, he or she must appear in-person before the authorized PIV registrar 

and submit two forms of identity source documents in original form. The identity source documents must 

come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, 

one which must be a Federal1or State issued picture identification. Fingerprints will be taken at this time. 

The applicant must appear no later than the entry on duty date. 

When the applicant appears, the registrar will electronically scan the submitted documents; any document 

that appears invalid will be rejected by the registrar. The registrar will capture electronically both a facial 

image and fingerprints of the applicant. The information submitted by the applicant will be used to create 

or update the applicant identity record in the Identity Management System (IDMS). 

Step 3: 

Upon the applicant’s completion of the investigative document, the CCS reviews the information, and 

resolves discrepancies with the applicant as necessary. When the applicant has appeared in person and 

completed fingerprints, the package is electronically submitted to initiate the NACI. The CCS includes a 

request for feedback on the NAC portion of the NACI at the time the request is submitted. 

Step 4: 

Prior to authorizing physical access of a contractor employee to a federally-controlled facility or access to 

a Federal information system, the CCS will ensure that a check has been performed with the National 

Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Interstate Identification Index. In the case of a foreign national, 

a national check of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE) database will be 

performed for each applicant. If this process yields negative information, the CCS will immediately notify 

the COTR/host of the determination regarding access made by the CCS. 

Step 5: 

Upon receipt of the completed NAC, the CCS will update IDMS from the NAC portion of the NACI and 

indicate the result of the suitability determination. If an unsatisfactory suitability determination is

Attachment I

(06/2014) 

rendered, the COTR will advise the contractor that the employee is being denied physical access to all 

federally-controlled facilities and Federal information systems. 

Based on a favorable NAC and NCIC/III or BICE check, the CCS will authorize the issuance of a PIV 

federal credential in the Physical Access Control System (PACS) database. The CCS, based on 

information provided by the COTR/host, will determine what physical access the applicant should be 

granted once the PIV issues the credential. 

Step 6: 

Using the information provided by the applicant during his or her in-person appearance, the PIV card 

production facility creates and instantiates the approved PIV card for the applicant with an activation date 

commensurate with the applicant’s start date.

Step 7: 

The applicant proceeds to the credential issuance facility to begin processing for receipt of his/her federal 

credential. 

The applicant provides to the credential issuing operator proof of identity with documentation that meets 

the requirements of FIPS 201 (DHS Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) documents. These 

documents must be the same documents submitted for registration. 

The credential issuing operator will verify that the facial image, and optionally reference finger print, 

matches the enrollment data used to produce the card. Upon verification of identity, the operator will 

locate the employee’s record in the PACS database, and modify the record to indicate the PIV card has 

been issued. The applicant will select a PIN for use with his or her new PIV card. Although root data is 

inaccessible to the operator, certain fields (hair color, eye color, et al.) may be modified to more 

accurately record the employee’s information.

The applicant proceeds to a kiosk or other workstation to complete activation of the PIV card using the 

initial PIN entered at card issuance. 
Contract NNG15CR65C 

Attachment I

(06/2014) 

ALTERNATIVE FOR APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETED AND 

ADJUDICATED NAC AT THE TIME OF ENTRANCE ON DUTY 

Steps 1 through 4 shall be accomplished for all applicants in accordance with the process described above. 

If the applicant is unable to appear in person until the time of entry on duty, or does not, for any other 

reason, have a completed and adjudicated NAC portion of the NACI at the time of entrance on duty, the 

following interim procedures shall apply. 

1. If the documents required to submit the NACI have not been completed prior to EOD, the 

applicant will be instructed to complete all remaining requirements for submission of the 

investigation request. This includes presentation of I-9 documents and completion of fingerprints, 

if not already accomplished. If the applicant fails to complete these activities as prescribed in 

NPR 1600.1 (Chapters 3 & 4), it may be considered as failure to meet the conditions required for 

physical access to a federally-controlled facility or access to a Federal information system, and 

result in denial of such access. 

2. Based on favorable results of the NCIC, the applicant shall be issued a temporary NASA 

identification card for a period not-to-exceed six months. If at the end of the six month period the 

NAC results have not been returned, the agency will at that time make a determination if an 

additional extension will be granted for the temporary identification card. 

3. Upon return of the completed NAC, the process will continue from Step 5.
