GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 SECTION C - Description/Specifications C.1 Background The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for the protection of the public health and safety in the civilian use of nuclear power and nuclear materials. The Office of Administration (ADM) provides centralized services in the areas of acquisitions, facilities and security, property management, and administrative services including agency directives support, transportation, parking, translations, audiovisual, food services, mail distribution, labor services, furniture, supplies, NUREG publications, graphics, and printing. Currently, ADM handles many activities to support these services using ARCHIBUS 24.1, a commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) in conjunction with Autodesk AutoCAD and AutoCAD Revit for the agency-wide Space Planning and Property Management System (SPMS) / Visitor Access Registration (VARS) and Parking Management (PM).
The ARCHIBUS software has been configured into four modules with many workflows, views, reports and configuration of the COTS software to work seamlessly for the end users. The configuration has been accomplished using ARCHIBUS, Autodesk AutoCAD, Apache Tomcat, Microsoft IIS, Java and Microsoft SQL Server on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 virtual machines.
The purpose of this contract is to award work associated with routine maintenance, application releases modifying configuration created by a certified ARCHIBUS software engineer agreed upon by the SPMS multiple change control boards, application troubleshooting, additional ARCHIBUS modules and software updates to SPMS.
Depending on the module involved, there are up to 6000 users for SPMS.
SPMS currently includes the following four modules:
Module 1 - Property Management The following types of transactions are tracked under Property: equipment and furniture.
The ultimate goal of the Property Module is to ensure that all property monitored by NRC, owned or capitalized, is managed appropriately with the sufficient level of safeguard to prevent waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. The Property Module is used for the official property audits by the Office of Inspector General for the NRC and is the official record for the NRC. The property management module includes hardware scanners that work with ARCHIBUS to scan and process property.
Module 2 - Space Planning and Facilities Management The space design process entails considering each offices current allocation of office space against their current and projected organizational and functional requirements in order to plan appropriate adjustments to their space allocation and/or configuration.
ADM works with the designated representatives for each office to obtain information updates on current space configurations and space occupancy. These office representatives have online access to SPMS to review SPMS data and provide ADM with proposed information updates. The space planning module works seamlessly with AutoCAD to assist the space staff with CAD designs.

GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 Module 3 - Visitor Access Registration System (VARS)
All headquarters and regional visitors must be registered in VARS. Visitor parking for headquarters can also be requested through VARS. The Facilities and Security group including the security guards utilize the module to monitor and track visitor access to NRC facilities. VARS also contains a special BOLO listing for visitors who may be barred from the NRC facilities. Any employees who have forgotten their official PIV badge for the day are processed through VARS to receive a temporary pass for the day to gain access to the NRC buildings.
Module 4 - Parking Management The fourth module, parking management, was added to SPMS to modernize the application from the retired Service Request System. Parking management contains the NRC parking program for employees for headquarters buildings OWFN/TWFN and 3WFN parking spaces. The module handles the quarterly reshuffle for parking as well as the parking information and verification of existing single parkers and carpools.
C.2 Objective The objective of this contract/order is to obtain Contractor support for the SPMS modules to operate, maintain, upgrade, and enhance the ARCHIBUS application that encompasses the current and future modules. The Contractor shall abide by all Management Directive guidance for property management and security as well as applicable federal laws.
C.3 Scope of Work The scope of services includes the following tasks:
- 1) ARCHIBUS Software-Specific Work The Contractor shall implement system development and configuration changes to the ARCHIBUS (SPMS) commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software in accordance with approved application releases. These customizations shall work seamlessly with the AutoCAD software utilized by the space team. The system administration support of the SPMS servers will require a minimum of maintaining an ARA account with the NRC as well as minimum ARCHIBUS certifications listed in this SOW. The contractor shall take all training required to maintain the general IT work and the system administration work that includes utilizing the ARA account. The contractor shall work with the NRC database administrators and data center staff in conjunction with working directly with the servers. The NRC data center only provides support and patching for the operating system software on the servers. The Contractor will be required to provide all application support for any non-operating system software including ARCHIBUS, AutoCAD, Apache Tomcat, Microsoft IIS, Java, Microsoft SQL Server and certificate installation.
The changes to ARCHIBUS (SPMS) shall also meet standards related to the following Federal or NRC specific guidelines: Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP), National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Record Retention policies, NRC Record Retention 5
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 Policies, policies on Personal Identity Information (PII), and functional specific Federal and NRC regulatory requirements. The Contractor shall review the server vulnerability scans and provide expert advice and will work with the COR and NRC technical support contacts to resolve any issues.
Maintenance and upgrades, as required for ARCHIBUS (SPMS) for all servers and software, shall be completed in a way that ensures compliance with NRC standards and the Contractor shall ensure that all functionality included in the older version will move forward into the new version. The requested changes to SPMS will adhere to Federal Management Regulation and NRC Management Directives for NRC property that will help with audits.
The contractor shall use a configuration management solution available to the contractor at their site. The appropriate version control procedures are prescribed within the Configuration Management Plan. In addition, all final deliverables and release packages will be made available to the COR via file uploads to BOX to be stored within Atlassian Confluence at the NRC. Documents will be available within five workdays after final approval.
Future Planned Work Several new modules are planned for SPMS during this contract period of performance that include, but are not limited to, automation workflows for current forms, RFID implementation within the NRC parking garage, a FixIt/CleanIt module for daily building maintenance, web-based enhancements such as locator maps on multiple floors, enhancements to utilize web-based interfaces for managers and end users, conference room scheduling to interface with the current NRC system, warehouse inventory, supply store inventory, and a Workspace of the Future module that includes conference room scheduling assistance module.
- 2) Provide Release Tracking and Maintenance Services The Contractor shall provide Space Planning and Property Management System (SPMS) software release and maintenance services.
This support will involve routine operation and maintenance activities and includes responding to user inquiries, performing routine account updates, performing routine system maintenance, resolving system errors, unlocking records, and creating adhoc reports through the View Definition Wizard. The Contractor shall document all email or phone maintenance requests in writing when received.
This ARCHIBUS work requires that the contractor be an ARCHIBUS Business Partner and also hold ARCHIBUS certifications to ensure that the best practices are followed for the application (listed under Key Personnel and Qualifications Requirements section).
When end users or the COR submit application change requests via email, the Contractor shall gather system requirements into a release for the requested update. A 6
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 consolidated list of change requests will be available in a configuration management tool at the Contractor site. The Contractor may use their own tool but the files will also be made available to the COR via NRCs BOX file transfer tool. The Contractor shall ensure that all critical and non-critical requirements are marked clearly using the SMART criteria: specific, manageable, attainable, relevant and timely.
Each software release requires agency Change Control Board (CCB) approval for both pre-production and production releases, which exist on separate web and database servers. The Contractor shall provide the needed language for the release to the COR and the COR will request the CRQs to be created. The release work shall be implemented only after the Contractor and the COR reach agreement that the release is ready and CCB approval has been granted.
Each release shall first be implemented in the pre-production environment and the end users will use the provided test plans to test the release. All issues found during the testing will be corrected and then the testing will occur again. After successful testing and approval from the COR, the release may be placed in the production environment after CCB approval and then testing will be completed utilizing the same test plans. If issues are found in production, the testing cycle will begin again until the release is approved by the COR.
- 3) Provide Application Documentation Updates The Contractor shall create or make updates to the documents listed in section C.5.
The following deliverables are required for each software release:

20
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 A contractor who has access to NRC owned or controlled PII, whether provided to the contractor by the NRC or developed, maintained, collected, used, or disseminated by the contractor during the course of contract performance, must comply with the following requirements:
(1) General. In addition to implementing the specific requirements set forth in this clause, the contractor must adhere to all other applicable NRC guidance, policy and requirements for the handling and protection of NRC owned or controlled PII. The contractor is responsible for making sure that it has an adequate understanding of such guidance, policy and requirements.
(2) Use, Ownership, and Nondisclosure. A contractor may use NRC owned or controlled PII solely for purposes of this contract, and may not collect or use such PII for any purpose outside the contract without the prior written approval of the NRC Contracting Officer. The contractor must restrict access to such information to only those contractor employees who need the information to perform work under this contract, and must ensure that each such contractor employee (including subcontractors' employees) signs a nondisclosure agreement, in a form suitable to the NRC Contracting Officer, prior to being granted access to the information. The NRC retains sole ownership and rights to its PII. Unless the contract states otherwise, upon completion of the contract, the contractor must turn over all PII in its possession to the NRC, and must certify in writing that it has not retained any NRC owned or controlled PII except as otherwise authorized in writing by the NRC Contracting Officer.
(3) Security Plan. When applicable, and unless waived in writing by the NRC Contracting Officer, the contractor must work with the NRC to develop and implement a security plan setting forth adequate procedures for the protection of NRC owned or controlled PII as well as the procedures which the contractor must follow for notifying the NRC in the event of any security breach.

GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 H.6 RULES OF BEHAVIOR FOR AUTHORIZED COMPUTER USE In accordance with Appendix III, "Security of Federal Automated Information Resources," to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, "Management of Federal Information Resources," NRC has established rules of behavior for individual users who access all IT computing resources maintained and operated by the NRC or on behalf of the NRC. In response to the direction from OMB, NRC has issued the "Agency-wide Rules of Behavior for Authorized Computer Use" policy, hereafter referred to as the rules of behavior. The rules of behavior for authorized computer use will be provided to NRC computer users, including contractor personnel, as part of the annual computer security awareness course.
The rules of behavior apply to all NRC employees, contractors, vendors, and agents (users) who have access to any system operated by the NRC or by a contractor or outside entity on behalf of the NRC. This policy does not apply to licensees. The next revision of Management Directive 12.5, "NRC Automated Information Security Program,"
will include this policy. The rules of behavior can be viewed at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/CSO/documents/ROB.pdf or use NRCs external Web-based ADAMS at http://wba.nrc.gov:8080/ves/ (Under Advanced Search, type ML082190730 in the Query box).
The rules of behavior are effective immediately upon acknowledgement of them by the person who is informed of the requirements contained in those rules of behavior. All current contractor users are required to review and acknowledge the rules of behavior as part of the annual computer security awareness course completion. All new NRC contractor personnel will be required to acknowledge the rules of behavior within one week of commencing work under this contract and then acknowledge as current users thereafter. The acknowledgement statement can be viewed at http://www.internal.nrc.gov/CSO/documents/ROB_Ack.pdf or use NRCs external Web-based ADAMS at http://wba.nrc.gov:8080/ves/ (Under Advanced Search, type ML082190730 in the Query box).
The NRC Computer Security Office will review and update the rules of behavior annually beginning in FY 2011 by December 31st of each year. Contractors shall ensure that their personnel to which this requirement applies acknowledge the rules of behavior before beginning contract performance and, if the period of performance for the contract lasts more than one year, annually thereafter. Training on the meaning and purpose of the rules of behavior can be provided for contractors upon written request to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR).
The contractor shall flow down this clause into all subcontracts and other agreements that relate to performance of this contract/order if such subcontracts/agreements will authorize access to NRC electronic and information technology (EIT) as that term is defined in FAR 2.101.
(End of Clause)

(e) The contractor's Project Director shall first consult the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) before releasing on-site personnel in situations which do not impose an immediate safety or health threat to employees (e.g., special holidays). That same day, the contractor must then alert the Contracting Officer of the NRC Contracting Officers Representatives (COR) direction. The contractor shall continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform the requirements of essential tasks as defined in the Statement of Work which already are in operation or are scheduled.
(End of Clause)
H.8 ANNUAL AND FINAL CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS Annual and final evaluations of contractor performance under this contract will be prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.15, "Contractor Performance Information,"
normally at or near the time the contractor is notified of the NRC's intent to exercise the contract option. If the multi-year contract does not have option years, then an annual evaluation will be prepared []. Final evaluations of contractor performance will be prepared at the expiration of the contract during the contract closeout process.
The Contracting Officer will transmit the NRC Contracting Officers Representatives (COR) annual and final contractor performance evaluations to the contractor's Project Manager, unless otherwise instructed by the contractor. The contractor will be permitted thirty days to review the document and submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information.
Where a contractor concurs with, or takes no exception to an annual performance evaluation, the Contracting Officer will consider such evaluation final and releasable for source selection purposes. Disagreements between the parties regarding a performance evaluation will be referred to an individual one level above the Contracting Officer, whose decision will be final.
The Contracting Officer will send a copy of the completed evaluation report, marked "Source Selection Information, to the contractor's Project Manager for their records as soon as practicable after it has been finalized. The completed evaluation report also will 25
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 be used as a tool to improve communications between the NRC and the contractor and to improve contract performance.
The completed annual performance evaluation will be used to support future award decisions in accordance with FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503. During the period the information is being used to provide source selection information, the completed annual performance evaluation will be released to only two parties - the Federal government personnel performing the source selection evaluation and the contractor under evaluation if the contractor does not have a copy of the report already.
(End of Clause)
H.9 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LEVEL I OR LEVEL II ACCESS APPROVAL (JUL 2016)
The contractor must identify all individuals selected to work under this contract. The NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) shall make the final determination of the level, if any, of IT access approval required for all individuals working under this contract/order using the following guidance. The Government shall have full and complete control and discretion over granting, denying, withholding, or terminating IT access approvals for contractor personnel performing work under this contract/order.
The contractor shall conduct a preliminary security interview or review for each employee requiring IT level I or II access and submit to the Government only the names of candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of IT access approval for which the employee has been proposed. The contractor shall pre-screen its applicants for the following:
(a) felony arrest in the last seven (7) years; (b) alcohol related arrest within the last five (5) years; (c) record of any military courts-martial convictions in the past ten (10) years; (d) illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances possession in the past year, or illegal purchase, production, transfer, or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances in the last seven (7) years; and (e) delinquency on any federal debts or bankruptcy in the last seven (7) years.
The contractor shall make a written record of its pre-screening interview or review (including any information to mitigate the responses to items listed in (a) - (e)), and have the employee verify the pre-screening record or review, sign and date it. The contractor shall supply two (2) copies of the signed contractor's pre-screening record or review to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR), who will then provide them to the NRC Office of Administration, Division of Facilities and Security, Personnel Security Branch with the employees completed IT access application package.
The contractor shall further ensure that its personnel complete all IT access approval security applications required by this clause within fourteen (14) calendar days of notification by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) of initiation of the application process. Timely receipt of properly completed records of the pre-screening record and IT access approval applications (submitted for candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of security assurance necessary for access to NRC's IT systems/data) is a requirement of this contract/order. Failure of the contractor to comply with this requirement may be a basis to terminate the contract/order 26
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 for cause, or to offset from the contract's invoiced cost or price the NRC's incurred costs or delays as a result of inadequate pre-screening by the contractor.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR IT LEVEL I Performance under this contract/order will involve contractor personnel who perform services requiring direct access to or operation of agency sensitive information technology systems or data (IT Level I). The IT Level I involves responsibility for: (a) the planning, direction, and implementation of a computer security program; (b) major responsibility for the direction, planning, and design of a computer system, including hardware and software; (c) the capability to access a computer system during its operation or maintenance in such a way that could cause or that has a relatively high risk of causing grave damage; or (d) the capability to realize a significant personal gain from computer access.
Contractor personnel shall not have access to sensitive information technology systems or data until they are approved by DFS/PSB and they have been so informed in writing by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Temporary IT access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorable review or adjudication of their security forms and checks. Final IT access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorably review or adjudication of a completed background investigation. However, temporary access authorization approval will be revoked and the employee may subsequently be denied IT access in the event the employees investigation cannot be favorably adjudicated. Such an employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract/order requiring IT access without the approval of DFS/PSB, as communicated in writing to the contractor by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Where temporary access authorization has been revoked or denied by DFS/PSB, the contractor shall assign another contractor employee to perform the necessary work under this contract/order without delay to the contract/order performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract/order. When an individual receives final IT access approval from DFS/PSB, the individual will be subject to a reinvestigation every ten (10) years thereafter (assuming continuous performance under contracts/orders at NRC) or more frequently in the event of noncontinuous performance under contracts/orders at NRC.
CORs are responsible for submitting the completed access/clearance request package as well as other documentation that is necessary to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall submit a completed security forms packet, including the OPM Standard Form (SF) 86 (online Questionnaire for National Security Positions), two (2) copies of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record, and two (2) FD 258 fingerprint charts, to DFS/PSB for review and adjudication, prior to the individual being authorized to perform work under this contract/order requiring access to sensitive information technology systems or data.
Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any applicant with less than seven (7) years residency in the U.S. will not be approved for IT Level I access. The Contractor shall submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall ensure that all forms are accurate, complete, and legible. Based on DFS/PSB review of the contractor employees security forms and/or the receipt of adverse information by NRC, the contractor individual may be 27
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 denied access to NRC facilities and sensitive information technology systems or data until a final determination is made by DFS/PSB. The contractor individuals clearance status will thereafter be communicated to the contractor by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) regarding the contractor persons eligibility.
In accordance with NRCAR 2052.204-70 "Security," IT Level I contractors shall be subject to the attached NRC Form 187 and SF-86. Together, these furnish the basis for providing security requirements to contractors that have or may have an NRC contractual relationship which requires access to or operation of agency sensitive information technology systems, remote development and/or analysis of sensitive information technology systems or data, or other access to such systems and data; access on a continuing basis (in excess more than 30 calendar days) to NRC buildings; or otherwise requires issuance of an unescorted NRC badge.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR IT LEVEL II Performance under this contract/order will involve contractor personnel that develop and/or analyze sensitive information technology systems or data or otherwise have access to such systems or data (IT Level II).
The IT Level II involves responsibility for the planning, design, operation, or maintenance of a computer system and all other computer or IT positions.
Contractor personnel shall not have access to sensitive information technology systems or data until they are approved by DFS/PSB and they have been so informed in writing by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Temporary access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorable review of their security forms and checks.
Final IT access may be approved by DFS/PSB based on a favorably adjudication.
However, temporary access authorization approval will be revoked and the contractor employee may subsequently be denied IT access in the event the employee's investigation cannot be favorably adjudicated. Such an employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract/order requiring IT access without the approval of DFS/PSB, as communicated in writing to the contractor by the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR). Where temporary access authorization has been revoked or denied by DFS/PSB, the contractor is responsible for assigning another contractor employee to perform the necessary work under this contract/order without delay to the contract/order performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract/order. When a contractor employee receives final IT access approval from DFS/PSB, the individual will be subject to a review or reinvestigation every ten (10) years (assuming continuous performance under contract/order at NRC) or more frequently in the event of noncontinuous performance under contract/order at NRC.
CORs are responsible for submitting the completed access/clearance request package as well as other documentation that is necessary to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall submit a completed security forms packet, including the OPM Standard Form (SF) 86 (online Questionnaire for National Security Positions), two (2) copies of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record and two (2) FD 258 fingerprint charts, to DFS/PSB for review and adjudication, prior to the contractor employee being authorized to perform work under this contract/order. Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official 28
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any applicant with less than seven (7) years residency in the U.S. will not be approved for IT Level II access. The Contractor shall submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB. The contractor shall ensure that all forms are accurate, complete, and legible. Based on DFS/PSB review of the contractor employees security forms and/or the receipt of adverse information by NRC, the contractor employee may be denied access to NRC facilities, sensitive information technology systems or data until a final determination is made by DFS/PSB regarding the contractor persons eligibility.
In accordance with NRCAR 2052.204-70 "Security," IT Level II contractors shall be subject to the attached NRC Form 187, SF-86, and contractor's record of the pre-screening. Together, these furnish the basis for providing security requirements to contractors that have or may have an NRC contractual relationship which requires access to or operation of agency sensitive information technology systems, remote development and/or analysis of sensitive information technology systems or data, or other access to such systems or data; access on a continuing basis (in excess of more than 30 calendar days) to NRC buildings; or otherwise requires issuance of an unescorted NRC badge.
CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF IT ACCESS/REQUEST When a request for IT access is to be withdrawn or canceled, the contractor shall immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) by telephone so that the access review may be promptly discontinued. The notification shall contain the full name of the contractor employee and the date of the request. Telephone notifications must be promptly confirmed by the contractor in writing to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR), who will forward the confirmation to DFS/PSB. Additionally, the contractor shall immediately notify the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) in writing, who will in turn notify DFS/PSB, when a contractor employee no longer requires access to NRC sensitive automated information technology systems or data, including the voluntary or involuntary separation of employment of a contractor employee who has been approved for or is being processed for IT access.
The contractor shall flow the requirements of this clause down into all subcontracts and agreements with consultants for work that requires them to access NRC IT resources.
(End of Clause)

GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 (a) felony arrest in the last seven (7) years; (b) alcohol related arrest within the last five (5) years; (c) record of any military courts-martial convictions in the past ten (10) years; (d) illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances possession in the past year, or illegal purchase, production, transfer, or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances in the last seven (7) years; and (e) delinquency on any federal debts or bankruptcy in the last seven (7) years.
The Contractor shall make a written record of its pre-screening interview or review (including any information to mitigate the responses to items listed in (a) - (e)), and have the applicant verify the pre-screening record or review, sign and date it. Two (2) copies of the pre-screening signed record or review shall be supplied to the Division of Facilities and Security, Personnel Security Branch (DFS/PSB) with the Contractor employee's completed building access application package.
The Contractor shall further ensure that its employees, any subcontractor employees and consultants complete all building access security applications required by this clause within fourteen (14) calendar days of notification by DFS/PSB of initiation of the application process. Timely receipt of properly completed records of the Contractor's signed pre-screening record or review and building access security applications (submitted for candidates that have a reasonable probability of obtaining the level of access authorization necessary for access to NRC's facilities) is a contract requirement.
Failure of the Contractor to comply with this contract administration requirement may be a basis to cancel the award, or terminate the contract for default, or offset from the contract's invoiced cost or price the NRC's incurred costs or delays as a result of inadequate pre-screening by the Contractor. In the event of cancellation or termination, the NRC may select another firm for contract award.
A Contractor, subcontractor employee or consultant shall not have access to NRC facilities until he/she is approved by DFS/PSB. Temporary access may be approved based on a favorable NRC review and discretionary determination of their building access security forms. Final building access will be approved based on favorably adjudicated checks by the Government. However, temporary access approval will be revoked and the Contractor's employee may subsequently be denied access in the event the employee's investigation cannot be favorably determined by the NRC. Such employee will not be authorized to work under any NRC contract requiring building access without the approval of DFS/PSB. When an individual receives final access, the individual will be subject to a review or reinvestigation every five (5) or ten (10) years, depending on their job responsibilities at the NRC.
The Government shall have and exercise full and complete control and discretion over granting, denying, withholding, or terminating building access approvals for individuals performing work under this contract. Individuals performing work under this contract at NRC facilities for a period of more than 30 calendar days shall be required to complete and submit to the Contractor representative an acceptable OPM Standard Form 85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions), and two (2) FD 258 (Fingerprint Charts).
Non-U.S. citizens must provide official documentation to the DFS/PSB, as proof of their legal residency. This documentation can be a Permanent Resident Card, Temporary Work Visa, Employment Authorization Card, or other official documentation issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Any applicant with less than five (5) years residency in the U.S. will not be approved for building access. The Contractor shall 30
GS00Q17GWD2230/31310020F0152 submit the documents to the NRC Contracting Officers Representative (COR) who will give them to DFS/PSB.
DFS/PSB may, among other things, grant or deny temporary unescorted building access approval to an individual based upon its review of the information contained in the OPM Standard Form 85 and the Contractor's pre-screening record. Also, in the exercise of its authority, the Government may, among other things, grant or deny permanent building access approval based on the results of its review or investigation. This submittal requirement also applies to the officers of the firm who, for any reason, may visit the NRC work sites for an extended period of time during the term of the contract. In the event that DFS/PSB are unable to grant a temporary or permanent building access approval, to any individual performing work under this contract, the Contractor is responsible for assigning another individual to perform the necessary function without any delay in the contract's performance schedule, or without adverse impact to any other terms or conditions of the contract. The Contractor is responsible for informing those affected by this procedure of the required building access approval process (i.e.,
temporary and permanent determinations), and the possibility that individuals may be required to wait until permanent building access approvals are granted before beginning work in NRC's buildings.
CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF BUILDING ACCESS/ REQUEST The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR when a Contractor or subcontractor employee or consultant's need for NRC building access approval is withdrawn or the need by the Contractor employee's for building access terminates. The COR will immediately notify DFS/PSB (via e-mail) when a Contractor employee no longer requires building access. The Contractor shall be required to return any NRC issued badges to the COR for return to DFS/FSB (Facilities Security Branch) within three (3) days after their termination.

The certification must identify the items and types or categories of matter retained, the conditions governing the retention of the matter and their period of retention, if known. If the retention is approved by the contracting officer, the security provisions of the contract continue to be applicable to the matter retained.
(c) In connection with the performance of the work under this contract, the contractor may be furnished, or may develop or acquire, safeguards information, or confidential or privileged technical, business, or financial information, including Commission plans, policies, reports, financial plans, internal data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub.
