The Contractor shall comply with, and in the instance of contractor/sub-contractor employees, shall ensure compliance with the following instructions when access to the Fort Leonard Wood installation/facilities are required for contract performance. These local instructions are incorporated in this contract, in order to implement local installation antiterrorism/operations security policies and procedures, and to supplement Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.204-9, which, if applicable to this contract, is located in Section I. In the event of conflict between any portion of this supplement and/or FAR 52.204-9; and any other provision within the SOW, PWS, or specifications; clause 52.204-9 (if listed in Section I) shall take precedence. In the event of conflict between this supplement and any other provision within the SOW, PWS, or specifications, this supplement shall take precedence. a. An uncleared contractor is an individual who falls into one of two categories: (1) CAC-eligible; and (2) Non-CAC eligible. The Common Access Card (CAC) is the DoD federal personal identity verification credential. CAC Eligibility is defined in Army Directive 2014-05, dated March 7, 2014. b. Army Directive 2014-05 provides that all contractor and/or subcontractor personnel who do not possess a CAC, another Federal personal identity verification card, or other authorized DoD identification card and who require unescorted access to Army installations must have a validated need for such access and undergo a vetting process to determine their fitness for access. Accordingly, non-CAC eligible, uncleared contractor and/or sub-contractor personnel requiring access to the Fort Leonard Wood installation and facilities, to perform under this contract, will submit personal identity information through the Fort Leonard Wood Installation Pass implementation system detailed in subparagraph (1) below. There is no charge to the Contractor or employees for this pass. Request for pass must be submitted a minimum of ten working days prior to date access is planned. (1) The requesting Contractor personnel and sub-contractor's personnel shall submit their requests for installation pass to their sponsor via the web based Fort Leonard Wood Installation Pass Application IM3500 Secure Webportal, located at the following web link: https://vcc1.icmvcc.com/im3500/. The minimum information required to complete the pass application at the Fort Leonard Wood Installation Pass Application IM3500 Secure Webportal listed in paragraph b, above, is as follows: 1. Point of Contact Email (Valid sponsor's email address). A valid sponsor is the COR, COTR, or other Government employee designated in writing by the Contracting Officer (KO) at time of contract award, post award conference, or pre-construction conference; or the KO if no other designation is made. 2. Visitor's email address; 3. ID Number (Visitor's Driver's License Number); 4. ID Jurisdiction (State that issued the visitor driver's license); 5. Visit Start Date (The first date of visitor's visit); 6. Visit End Date (The last date of visitor's visit, not to exceed the length of the contract or one year, whichever is shorter); 7. Visitor's Name (Last name, First name, Middle name & suffix); 8. Phone Number and Address; 9. Date of Birth; 10. Eye Color; 11. Hair Color; 12. Sponsoring Organization and Applicant's Company Name. Additionally, vehicle information may be required (Vehicle VIN Number, Plate Number, Plate Jurisdiction, Vehicle Year of Manufacture, Vehicle Make, Vehicle Model, Vehicle Color, and Vehicle Type) (2) The information collected at this website will be used by the government to query, at a minimum, the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) to determine if the person requesting unescorted access presents a potential threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation. Army Directive 2014-05, enclosure 2, establishes Army policy for adjudication and screening standards to control the access of unescorted uncleared contractors (contractor and subcontractor personnel) to Army installations and facilities. (3) Uncleared contractor personnel will, in the absence of an approved waiver, be denied unescorted access to Fort Leonard Wood should the above mentioned checks contain credible derogatory information indicating that the individual may present a threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation. Such derogatory information includes, but is not limited to that provided within Enclosure 2, Army Directive 2014-05 (Policy and Implementation Procedures for Common Access Card Credentialing and Installation Access for Uncleared Contractors), which is available to the public at the following website: http://www.apd.army.mil/ . (4) Access Denial Waiver Process. An explanation of the waiver process for individual denials of access is provided in Army Directive 2014-05. The denial of unescorted entry onto the military installation of one or several of the contractor's or subcontractor's personnel shall not be considered an excuse for nonperformance of contract requirements. Nor is the Government responsible for providing escorts for individuals denied unescorted access to the Installation. c. All contractor and subcontractor personnel performing tasks on this contract shall at all times comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures provided herein and otherwise provided to the Contractor by an authorized Government representative. Contractors are warned that Installation area access control plans may require increased vigilance and restrictions on access to military installations in the case of heightened Force Protection Condition (FPCON) levels. If task completion is hampered by temporary Government limitations on access to the Installation, the Contractor and Contracting Officer shall negotiate any extensions on delivery necessitated by emergency situations. In addition, if heightened security requires the submission of additional security information and/or the implementation of additional security measures the Contractor shall fully cooperate with Government security procedures and requests for information.
