DSCR I16D: SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

I16D      52.204-9G03     SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
AND                       DSCR (JUL 2003)
I04F30


   (a) This clause applies to the extent that this 
contract requires contractor personnel to perform work
using sensitive automated information systems (AIS). 

   (b) The Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) requires
that all contractor personnel assigned to perform work 
under this contract must have attained a positive outcome 
to the designated Automatic Data Processing (ADP) 
investigative requirement assigned to each labor 
classification as specified under the contract.

   (c) DoD 5200.2-R, DoD Personnel Security Program, 
requires DoD military and civilian personnel, as well as
DoD consultants and contractor personnel, who perform work
on sensitive AISs, to be assigned to positions which are 
designated at one of three sensitivity levels, ADP-I,
ADP-II, or ADP-III. These designations equate to Critical 
Sensitive, Non-critical Sensitive, and Non-sensitive. DLA
has implemented the DoD policy in paragraph 3-101 of DLAR
5200.11, DLA Personnel Security Program. The titles and 
associated ADP sensitivity levels for contractor employees
shall be as specified in the contract or delivery order 
schedule. The Contractor shall assure that individuals 
assigned to sensitive AIS positions, as specified, have
submitted the appropriate forms and have a positive 
outcome to the investigations as outlined herein.  As a
minimum, each contractor employee will require a 
favorable National Agency Check (NAC) to be completed prior
to starting work at DSCR.

   (d) Required forms

       (1) SF-85P Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions
 - completed through the Electronic Personnel Security 
Questionnaire (EPSQ):  The EPSQ is readily accessible to 
download from the Defense Security Service (DSS) Web Site 
at http://www.dss.mil. When submitting the electronic 
version, the Contractor shall submit a .zdb file on 
diskette, a printed and signed copy of the SF-85P and a
validation report. The diskette shall be labeled with the
file name, employee's social security number, and password.

       (2) FD-258 Fingerprint Card  

       (3) Birth Certificate or Naturalization Certificate

   (e) Forms are to be submitted directly to the Command 
Security Officer, DSCR-SF, Emergency Services Building, at 
the Defense Supply Center Richmond, 8000 Jefferson Davis 
Highway, Richmond, VA 23297.

   (f) When approved by the Contracting Officer, personnel
occupying ADP-III positions may be assigned to work prior 
to completion of the investigation. For ADP-III personnel, 
the contractor shall submit the forms at (d) a minimum of
seven (7) working days prior to commencement of work. 
Concurrent with submission, the contractor shall notify the 
Contracting Officer of the employee(s) name, DSCR assigned 
position(s), and request that the employee(s) be allowed to
work pending the outcome of the investigation. DSCR-SF will
initiate the NAC. If the result of the subsequent 
investigation is other than positive, the employee(s) may
be subject to removal as specified at paragraph (j).  No
individual shall be permitted to work on the installation 
without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer.
The Contracting Officer's approval shall be based on the 
advice of the DSCR Security Officer.

   (g) For ADP-II positions, the required investigation 
(NAC) shall be initiated by DSCR-SF and completed, if 
possible, prior to the assignment of individuals to 
sensitive AIS duties associated with the position. If it 
is not feasible to wait until the investigation is 
completed, DSCR-SF will determine if the individual can be
granted a waiver.  If so, a waiver letter will be submitted
for signature of the DSCR Commander.  If the result of the
subsequent investigation is other than positive, the 
employee(s) may be subject to removal as specified at 
paragraph (j).  

   (h) For ADP-I positions, the required investigation 
shall be completed prior to the assignment of individuals 
to critical sensitive AIS duties associated with the 
position.  ADP-I positions are rare and require 
corresponding Top Secret clearance, which shall be obtained
through the contractor's security officer from DSS.  
DSCR-SF does not initiate security clearances.  The 
contractor is not required to pay monetary charges for
either background checks (NAC) or security clearances.

   (i) The requirements outlined above apply to the prime
contractor and any subcontractors the prime contractor may
employ during the course of this contract.  

   (j) The Contracting Officer retains the right to require
removal of contractor personnel, regardless of prior 
clearance or adjudication status, whose actions, while 
assigned to this contract, clearly conflict with the 
interests of the Government. The reason for removal shall
be fully documented in writing by the Contracting Officer.
When such removal occurs, the Contracting Officer and 
Contractor shall mutually agree upon an expedient timeframe
for assigning qualified replacement personnel to any 
resulting vacancy(ies).

   (k) The Contractor shall comply with all security 
requirements pursuant to DLA Regulation 5200.17, Security
Requirements for Automated Information and 
Telecommunications Systems.
