The Air Force routinely investigates environmental violations and cooperates fully with civil authorities to secure remedies and discourage future violations. Failure to comply with environmental statutes and regulations can subject the contractor to criminal and civil penalties and/or contractual sanctions including, but not limited to, termination, suspension, and debarment, and adverse past performance assessment. Contractors can obtain specific information regarding environmental compliance mandates in 316 WG/CC Memo "Andrews AFB Environmental Standards" dated 19 Oct 2006.

NCIC checks will verify if a person is wanted by local, state, and federal agencies. All contractor personnel must consent to NCIC background checks. Contractor personnel who do not consent to an NCIC check will be denied access to the installation. Information required to conduct an NCIC check includes: full name, driver's license number/state issued/expiration date, social security number, and date of birth of the person entering the installation and shall be submitted in conjunction with the contractor's request for vehicle passes.
