The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a law-enforcement organization within the United States’ (U.S.’)
Department of Justice (DOJ). ATF’s unique responsibilities consist of reducing violent crime, collecting revenue, and protecting the
public. ATF enforces federal laws and regulations relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and arson by working directly
and in cooperation with other government agencies to:
a. Suppress and prevent crime and violence through enforcement, regulation and community outreach;
b. Ensure fair and proper revenue collection;
c. Provide fair and effective industry regulation;
d. Support and assist federal, state, local, and international law-enforcement agencies/organizations;

17.0 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

15A00024Q00000056 Page 15 of 97
Notwithstanding the contractor's responsibility for total-management during the performance of this contract/order, the administration
of such shall require maximum coordination among the CS, CO, COR, and contractor. The CS, CO, and COR shall be the
Government’s POCs during performance of this PWS:
The CS is responsible for drafting and reviewing supporting documentation for the contract file, as well as contractual documents
(i.e., including determinations, memos, modifications, etc.). Additionally, the CS performs similar duties as the CO, yet without any
signatory authority.
The CO is the only person authorized to approve changes in the terms, conditions, delivery/installation schedules, technical
requirements, or price, as set forth in the contract. Any changes not made expressly by the CO will be considered to have been
without authority. In such cases, the contractor is operating at its own risk because no adjustment will be made in the contract, price or
otherwise to cover any increase in charges incurred as a result thereof. During any absence of the CO identified for this contract, other
warranted COs from ATF may authorize work under the contract/order.
The CO will designate the COR in writing to represent him/her. The COR has the authority to monitor all technical aspects and
assist in administering the contract. Said individual shall ensure the contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract
by: performing, or causing to be performed, inspections necessary in connection with performance of the contract; maintaining both
written and oral communications with the contractor concerning the aspects of the contract within his/her purview; monitoring and
assessing the contractor's performance under the contract and notifying the contractor and CO of any deficiencies observed; receiving
and approving/rejecting deliverables, invoices and certain-other requests as mentioned in a previous Section(s); also coordinating GFP
availability and providing for site entry of contractor personnel, if required.
The COR will forward a copy of his/her signed, COR-Appointment Memo to the contractor. Said memo will include the
responsibilities and limitations of the COR and clarify to all parties the responsibilities that would result in a modification to change:
the scope of work; cost or price totals/estimates; delivery/installation dates/schedule; and/or any other mutually agreed upon term or
provision of the contract.
The contractor is responsible for carrying out its obligations under this contracting vehicle, which includes controlling the quality
of supplies and/or services, tendering to the Government for acceptance, ensuring vendors/suppliers meet QC standards, and
maintaining substantiating evidence of compliance as required. The contractor is also responsible for performing all inspections and
tests as required and may consider implementing a quality-management system consistent with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 9001-2000, Quality Management Systems Requirements, if it doesn’t already have such in place.
18.0 REPORTS
18.1 Submit mid-year and annual Status-Work Reports that meet the following criteria:

victims assisted, case-action assistance provided, other services provided trainings and meetings attended, and trainings
provided.
b. Reports shall include actual progress, deliverables submitted during the period, problem areas, work planned and/or in progress,
and deliverables planned and/or in progress.
c. Mid-Year Status-Work Report is estimated to be due every April. Annual Status-work Report is due when assigned by the

a. Complete said reports by deadline assigned by the OVC and the OJP and determine effectiveness through response to
participant evaluations and feedback from the field.
b. Provide recommendations and revisions to redesign or restructure aspects of the program.
19.0 BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
The contractor (both CVSs) must conduct preliminary inquiries/checks AND analyze the below areas prior to submitting a candidate
for ATF’s consideration:
A. Drug Activities: Contractors currently involved in illegal drug activities or substance abuse are ineligible for hiring. Past
involvement in illegal drug activities or substance abuse may disqualify the candidate if activities were more than minimal and
limited.
B. Financial Interests in Regulated Industries: The contractor, his/her spouse, or his/her minor child, who has a financial interest in a
firearms or explosives entity may have to be willing to surrender the license/permit and/or the financial interest in the business prior to
the contractor entering on duty.
C. Financial Responsibilities: A contractor who is currently delinquent more than 120 days with any debt must provide to the
evidence of resolution by timely submitting proof of payment, proof of participation in or compliance with a payment plan, or proof of
a legal remedy. A contractor who declines to provide evidence of resolution will be disqualified from eligibility consideration.
D. Prohibited Persons: Federal law states it is unlawful for a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic
violence or has a qualifying order of protection against him/her to possess a firearm or ammunition. Federal law prohibits the
possession of firearms, ammunition, and explosives by a person who: has been convicted of a crime punishable by a term of
imprisonment exceeding one (1) year; is a fugitive from justice; is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance; has
been adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution; is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the U.S.; is an alien
who has been admitted to the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa (with certain exceptions); has been discharged from the military under
dishonorable conditions; or has renounced his/her U.S. citizenship. Federal law prohibits the receipt of firearms and ammunition
and the receipt or possession of explosives by a person who is under indictment for a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment
exceeding one (1) year; is a fugitive from justice; is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance; has been adjudicated
as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution; is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the U.S.; is an alien who has been
admitted to the U.S. under a nonimmigrant visa (with certain exceptions); has been discharged from the military under dishonorable
conditions; or has renounced his/her U.S. citizenship. Federal law prohibits the receipt of firearms and ammunition and the receipt or
possession of explosives by a person who is under indictment for a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one (1)
year.
E. Residency and Citizenship Requirements: For three (3) of the last five (5) years, the contractor must have either resided in the U.S.,
worked for the U.S. in a foreign country in a federal or military capacity, and/or been a dependent of a federal or military employee in
a foreign country. (The years do not need to be consecutive and may be cumulative.)
15A00024Q00000056 Page 17 of 97
F. Selective Service: All male U.S. citizens born after December 31, 1959, who are 18 years old, but not yet 26 years old, must register
with the Selective Service.
G. E-Verify Program: Verify the Candidate’s U.S. employment eligibility, regardless of the Candidate’s citizenship status.
If the contractor determines its personnel/candidate is not in compliance with one (1) or more of the above requirements, the
contractor shall not submit the individual/candidate for consideration.
Contractors must undergo and receive a favorably-adjudicated, Federal-background investigation (BI) as determined by the position’s
sensitivity designation prior to commencing work performance. The BI is to determine the contractor’s suitability to access ATF
information, information technology (IT) systems and/or unescorted access to facilities.
This investigation will be conducted by or under the auspices of the ATF, Personnel Security Division (PSD) and be performed under
such standards PSD may establish. If a contractor has a current BI with another agency, PSD will follow reciprocity procedures
for security; however, ATF will still conduct a review to determine the contractor’s compliance with all ATF agency specific
requirements will be conducted prior to authorizing access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to facilities.
Failure to adhere to ATF’s conduct and integrity guidelines and/or follow DOJ’s and/or ATF’s agency-specific qualifications may
result in immediate disqualification of the contractor. Additionally, failure to complete the required personnel security forms and have
a BI favorably adjudicated will result in disqualification.
The Contractor may be authorized access to ATF information, IT systems and/or unescorted access to facilities with an approved
temporary eligibility (TE) while awaiting the completion of the full BI. The ATF COR may request a TE only after advising and
gaining the concurrence of the contractor. Should, at any time, suitability or security issues are developed that cannot be resolved or
mitigated, the contractor will no longer be granted continued access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to any
ATF facility and will be removed from the contract/task order. (See ATF-04 clause also).
20.0 INVOICING AND PAYMENT
The contractor shall submit proper invoices to Finance.Branch@ATF.gov per ATF clause #ATF-14 IAW FAR 32.9, Prompt
Payment. Payment for all goods and/or services shall be made upon Government acceptance IAW FAR clause 52.232-1, Payments,
and 52.232-8, Discounts.
21.0 CLOSEOUT
The contractor shall submit a final invoice within 45-calendar days after the end of the performance period. Within 15-calendar days
of receiving the final payment, the contractor shall furnish a completed and signed Release of Claims to the CO; such may be in the
form of a Closeout-modification to the contract.

Section 2 - Contract Clauses
2852.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions, Commercial Items (FAR Deviation) (NOV 2020)
When a commercial item is contemplated (using FAR part 12 procedures or otherwise) and the contract will include FAR
52.212-4, the following replaces subparagraph (g)(2); paragraph (h); subparagraph (i)(2); paragraph (s); and paragraph
(u), Unauthorized Obligations, of the basic FAR clause, and adds paragraph (w), as follows:
(g)(2) Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) prompt payment act regulations at 5 CFR part 1315, as modified by subparagraph (i)(2), Prompt
payment, of this clause.
*****
(h) Patent indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Government and its respective affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Indemnities”) from and against any and all liability
and losses incurred by the Indemnities that are (i) included in any settlement and/or (ii) awarded by a court of competent
jurisdiction arising from or in connection with any third party claim of infringement made against Indemnities asserting that
any product or service supplied under this contract constitutes infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service
mark, trade name or other proprietary or intellectual right. This indemnity shall not apply unless Contractor shall have
been informed within a reasonable time by the Government of the claim or action alleging such infringement and shall
have been given such opportunity as is afforded by applicable laws, rules, or regulations to participate in its defense. This
indemnity also shall not apply to any claim unreasonably settled by the Government which obligates Contractor to make
any admission or pay any amount without written consent signed by an authorized officer of Contractor, unless required
by final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
*****
(i)(2) Prompt payment. The Government will make payment in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C.
3903) and prompt payment regulations (5 CFR part 1315), with the following modification regarding the due date: For the
sole purpose of computing an interest penalty due the Contractor, the Government agrees to inspect and determine the
acceptability of any supply delivered or service performed specified in the invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt of a
proper invoice from the Contractor, after which time, if no affirmative action has been taken by the Government to accept
such supply or service, the supply or service will be deemed accepted and payment due thirty (30) days from the date of
deemed acceptance. If the Government makes the determination that the item delivered or service performed is deficient
or otherwise unacceptable, or the invoice is otherwise determined not to be a proper invoice, the terms and conditions of
this paragraph regarding prompt payment will apply to the date the Contractor corrects the deficiency in the item delivered
or service performed or submits a proper invoice. If actual acceptance occurs within the constructive acceptance period,
the Government will base the determination of an interest penalty on the actual date of acceptance. The constructive
acceptance requirement does not, however, compel Government officials to accept supplies or services, perform contract
administration functions, or make payment prior to fulfilling their responsibilities.
*****
(s) Order of precedence. Any inconsistencies in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by giving precedence in the
following order:
(1) The schedule of supplies/services.
(2) The Assignments, Payments, Invoice, Other Compliances, and Compliance with Laws Unique to Government
Contracts provisions of the basic FAR clause at 52.212-4, and the Unauthorized Obligations and Contractor's Commercial
Supplier Agreements—Unenforceable Clauses provisions of JAR 2852.212-4.
(3) FAR 52.212-5.
(4) Other paragraphs of the basic FAR clause at 52.212-4, with the exception of paragraph (o), Warranty, and those
paragraphs identified in this deviation of 52.212-4.
(5) Addenda to this solicitation, contract, or order, including contractor's Commercial supplier agreements incorporated
into the contract.
(6) Solicitation provisions if this is a solicitation.
(7) Paragraph (o), Warranty, of the basic FAR clause at 52.212-4.
(8) The Standard Form 1449.
(9) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments.
(10) The specification.
*****
(u) Unauthorized obligations.
(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract or order is
subject to any Commercial supplier agreement that includes any language, provision, or clause requiring the Government
15A00024Q00000056 Page 19 of 97
to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create
an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (see 31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:
(i) Any such language, provision, or clause is unenforceable against the Government.
(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by
virtue of it appearing in the commercial supplier agreement. If the commercial supplier agreement is invoked through an
“I agree” click box or other similar mechanism ( e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind
the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.
(iii) Any such language, provision, or clause is deemed to be stricken from the commercial supplier agreement and have
no effect.
(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by
statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.
*****
(w) Commercial supplier agreements—unenforceable clauses. When any supply or service acquired under this contract
or order is subject to a contractor's commercial supplier agreement, the following shall be deemed incorporated into such
agreement and modifies and replaces any similar language, provision, or clause in such agreement. As used herein, “this
agreement” means any contractor commercial supplier agreement:
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, when the end user is an agency or instrumentality of the U.S.
Government, the following shall apply:
(i) Applicability. This agreement is a part of a contract between commercial supplier and the U.S. Government for the
acquisition of the supply or service that necessitates a license or other similar legal instrument (including all contracts,
task orders, and delivery orders under FAR part 12).
(ii) End user. This agreement shall bind the Government as end user but shall not operate to bind the Government
employee or person acting on behalf of the Government in his or her personal capacity.
(iii) Law and disputes. This agreement is governed by Federal law.
(A) Any language, provision, or clause purporting to subject the U.S. Government to the laws of any U.S. state, territory,
district, or municipality, or the laws of a foreign nation, except where Federal law expressly provides for the application of
such laws, is hereby deleted and shall have no effect.
(B) Any language, provision, or clause requiring dispute resolution in a specific forum or venue that is different from that
prescribed by applicable Federal law is hereby deleted and shall have no effect.
(C) Any language, provision, or clause prescribing a different time period for bringing an action than that prescribed by
applicable Federal law in relation to a dispute is hereby deleted and shall have no effect.
(iv) Continued performance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement, if the Contractor believes the
Government to be in breach of this contract, order, or agreement, it shall pursue its rights under the Contract Disputes
Act or other applicable Federal statute while continuing performance as set forth in subparagraph (d), Disputes, of FAR
52.212-4.
(v) Arbitration; equitable or injunctive relief. In the event of a claim or dispute arising under or relating to the contract,
order, or this agreement, (A) binding arbitration shall not be used unless otherwise specifically authorized by agency
guidance, and (B) equitable or injunctive relief, including the award of attorney fees, costs or interest, may be awarded
against the Government only when explicitly provided by statute.
(vi) Updating terms.
(A) After award, the contractor may unilaterally revise terms if they are not material. Material terms are defined as:
(1) Terms that change Government rights or obligations;
(2) Terms that increase Government prices;
(3) Terms that decrease the overall level of service; or
(4) Terms that limit any other Government right addressed elsewhere in this contract.
(B) For revisions that materially change the terms of the contract, the revised commercial supplier agreement must be
incorporated into the contract using a bilateral modification.
(C) Any agreement terms or conditions unilaterally revised subsequent to award that are inconsistent with any material
term or provisions of this contract shall not be enforceable against the Government, and the Government shall not be
deemed to have consented to them.
(vii) Order of precedence. Any Order of Precedence clause in any commercial supplier agreement is not enforceable
against the Government. The applicable Order of Precedence for this contract, order, or agreement is FAR 52.212-4(s),
as revised by JAR 2812.302 and 2852.212-4(s).
(viii) No automatic renewals. If any license or service tied to period payment is provided under this agreement (e.g.,
annual software maintenance or annual lease term), such license or service shall not renew automatically upon expiration
of its current term without prior express consent by a properly warranted contracting officer, and any provision or term of
any license or service purporting to provide for automatic renewal is unenforceable against the Government.
(ix) Indemnification by the Government or end-user. Any language, provision, or clause of this commercial supplier
agreement requiring the Government or End-user to indemnify the commercial supplier or licensor is not enforceable
against the Government.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 20 of 97
(x) Indemnification by the commercial supplier or licensor. Any clause of this agreement requiring or permitting the
commercial supplier or licensor to defend the Government as a condition of indemnifying the Government for any claim of
infringement is hereby amended to provide that the U.S. Department of Justice has the sole right to represent the United
States in any such action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. 516.
(xi) Audits. Any language, provision, or clause of this commercial supplier agreement permitting Contractor to audit the
end user's compliance with this agreement is not enforceable against the Government. To the extent any language,
provision or clause of this agreement permits Contractor to audit the Government's compliance under this contract, order,
or agreement, such language, provision, or clause of this agreement is hereby stricken and replaced as follows:
“(A) If Contractor reasonably believes that the Government has violated the terms of this agreement with regard to the
restrictions on authorized use and/or the number of authorized users, upon written request from Contractor, including an
explanation of the basis for the request, DOJ will provide a redacted version of the Government's most recent Security
Assessment and Authorization package (SAA) to Contractor on a confidential basis, so that Contractor may reasonably
verify the Government's compliance with its obligations under this agreement. Contractor understands and agrees that
the Government will remove or redact any information from the SAA that it reasonably believes may compromise (a) the
security of the Government's information technology environment; (b) the confidentiality of any third-party proprietary
or confidential information; (c) any confidential, sensitive law enforcement information; and (d) any other information
that the Government believes may compromise a past, current, or prospective investigation, prosecution, or litigation.
Notwithstanding the preceding, and subject to the Government's policies and procedures for such review, including but
not limited to complying with all Government security requirements prior to being granted access to the Government's
facilities, including the execution of appropriate confidentiality and/or non-disclosure agreements, the Government will
arrange, upon Contractor's written request, for Contractor to view an un-redacted version of the SAA on Government
premises. Contractor understands that Contractor will be provided a copy of the un-redacted SAA on Government
premises only and that no un-redacted copy of the SAA, or any medium containing information relating to it, will be
permitted to be removed from Government premises.
(B) The Contractor also understands and agrees that the Contractor shall make a request under this paragraph no more
than on an annual basis and only during the period of the contract, and that any activities performed by Contractor under
this clause will be performed at Contractor's expense, without reimbursement by the Government.
(C) Discrepancies found with regard to the restrictions on authorized use and/or the number of authorized users may
result in a charge by Contractor to the Government. Any resulting invoice must comply with the proper invoicing and
payment requirements specified in the contract. This charge, if disputed by the Government, will be resolved through the
Disputes clause at 52.212-4(d); no payment obligation shall arise on the part of the Government until the conclusion of the
dispute process.”
(xii) Taxes or surcharges. Any taxes or surcharges which the Contractor seeks to pass along to the Government as end
user will be governed by the terms of the underlying Government contract and, in any event, must be submitted to the
Contracting Officer for a determination of applicability prior to invoicing unless specifically agreed to otherwise in the
Government contract.
(xiii) Non-assignment. This agreement may not be assigned, nor may any rights or obligations thereunder be delegated,
without the Government's prior approval, except as expressly permitted under FAR 52.212-4 (b), Assignment.
(xiv) Confidential information.
(A) During the term of this contract or order, either party may identify information as “confidential information,” and
there shall be no disclosure, dissemination, or publication of any such information except to the extent required for the
performance of this contract or order and otherwise provided in this clause or by statute or regulation. Specifically, the
parties agree that the party receiving confidential information may only disclose such information to its employees and
contractors on a “need-to-know” basis to carry out the obligations of this contract or order, and that subcontractors
performing under this Agreement are subject to the same stipulations provided in this provision. The parties also agree
that this provision shall survive the termination of this contract or order, and any confidential information obtained or
received which comes within these restrictions shall remain confidential, provided that the obligation to treat information
as confidential shall not apply to information which is or becomes publicly available through no improper action of the
receiving party; is or comes to be in the receiving party's possession independent of its relationship with the disclosing
party; is developed by or becomes known to the receiving party without use of any confidential information of the
disclosing party; or is obtained rightfully from a third party not bound by an obligation of confidentiality. Additionally,
nothing in this contract or order shall restrict disclosure by the receiving party pursuant to any applicable law, including
but not limited to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, et seq., or an order of any court of competent jurisdiction,
provided that in either such case the receiving party gives prompt notice to the disclosing party to allow the disclosing
party to interpose an objection to such disclosure, take action to assure confidential handling of the confidential
information, or take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect its confidential information.
(B) The Government considers and hereby identifies as confidential any and all information related to any inquiries and/
or searches performed by the Government or by contractor at the Government's direction under this contract or order,
including the subject of any such inquiry or search and any and all search terms, regardless of whether provided in writing
or orally to Contractor, and Contractor agrees that it may only disclose such information to its employees and contractors
15A00024Q00000056 Page 21 of 97
on a “need-to-know” basis to carry out the obligations of this contract or order and that it will not share, reveal, divulge,
disclose, disseminate, or publicize any such information to any third party except as provided in this provision without
the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer. Contractor also understands and agrees that any subcontractors
performing under this contract or order are subject to the same stipulations and that Contractor may be held responsible
for any violations of confidentiality by a subcontractor.
(C) These provisions are consistent with and do not supersede, conflict with, or otherwise alter an employee's obligations,
rights, or liabilities created by existing statute or Executive order relating to (1) classified information, (2) communications
to Congress, (3) the reporting to an Inspector General of a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or mismanagement, a
gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or (4) any other
whistleblower protection. The definitions, requirements, obligations, rights, sanctions, and liabilities created by Executive
orders and statutory provisions relating to whistleblower protection are incorporated into this contract and are controlling.
(D) The Government may share the terms, conditions and prices set forth in this Order with, and provide a copy of the
Order to, other Executive branch agencies of the U.S. Government, provided that the Government shall ensure that other
Executive branch agencies to which it provides such information will be required to treat all such information consistent

ATF-04 Personnel Security Requirements (FEB 2024)
PERSONNEL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (FEB 2024)
Candidate Screening
A. The Contractor shall ensure that all potential Contractor employees (Candidates) assigned hereunder undergo
ATF’s personnel security process to determine their eligibility for access to ATF information, information technology (IT)
systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities.
B. The personnel security process will be conducted by or under the auspices of the Personnel Security Division (PSD),
Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF). The Contractor is responsible for providing a Personnel Security Package to the Candidate to complete. Once
completed, the Candidate must return the Package to the Contractor so that the Candidate may be screened by the
Contractor.
C. The Contractor will conduct the Candidate screening by reviewing each completed form submitted by the Candidate.
The Contractor will make a preliminary determination whether the Candidate possesses a personal history that complies
with ATF’s Agency Specific Qualifications (ASQs).
1. If the Contractor has questions or concerns regarding the Candidate’s responses to questions on any of the
forms, the Contractor must discuss the responses with ATF’s assigned Contracting Officer (CO)/Contracting
Officer’s Representative (COR) to determine whether ATF will accept the Candidate’s Personnel Security
Package for processing.
2. If the Contractor believes that the Candidate’s responses are/will not be in compliance with one or more
ASQs, the Contractor will remove the Candidate from consideration and, if warranted, identify a replacement
Candidate.
D. Agency-Specific Qualifications (ASQs). ASQs are requirements established by Federal mandates, Department of
Justice (DOJ) regulations or policies, and/or ATF regulations or policies that Candidates must be in compliance with prior
to being granted access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities. ASQs include:
1. Drug Policy. ATF applies a specific policy to the Candidate’s past and present illegal drug activities
to determine whether the Candidate is in compliance with this ASQ. This internal policy is applied to the
Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.12, Drug Activity Questionnaire, completed as part of the Personnel
Security Package.
a) Candidates currently involved in illegal drug activities or substance abuse may be ineligible for hiring.
b) Past involvement in illegal drug activities or substance abuse may disqualify the Candidate if
activities were more than minimal and limited.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 25 of 97
2. Financial Interests in Regulated Industries. Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 3801.107 states,
“…no employee of the ATF, or spouse or minor child of an ATF employee, shall have, directly or indirectly,
any financial interest, including compensated employment, in the alcohol, tobacco, firearms or explosives
industries." (This includes being listed as a responsible person on a Firearms License or an Explosives License
or Permit.) This regulation is applied to the Candidate’s responses on ATF F 8620.44, Licensing Questionnaire,
completed as part of the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package, and ATF licensing records to determine if the
Candidate complies with this ASQ.
a) The Candidate, his/her spouse, or his/her minor child with a financial interest in a firearms or
explosives entity may have to surrender the license/permit and/or the financial interest in the business
before the Candidate enters duty.
b) A determination by ATF’s Office of Chief Counsel will be made regarding financial interest held by
the Candidate, his/her spouse, or his/her minor child in the alcohol and tobacco industries prior to the
Candidate entering on duty.
3. Financial Responsibilities. The DOJ provides specific regulations and policies relating to a Candidate’s
financial obligations and delinquent debts. These regulations and policies are applied to the Candidate’s
responses on ATF F 8620.28, Financial History Questionnaire (completed as part of the Personnel Security
Package), credit reports/financial data obtained by ATF, and the sensitivity level of the position for which the
Candidate is being considered to determine if the Candidate complies with this ASQ.
a) A Candidate who is currently delinquent more than 120 days with any debt must provide to the
Contractor evidence of resolution by timely submitting proof of payment, confirmation of participation in
or compliance with a payment plan, or proof of a legal remedy.
b) A Candidate who declines to provide evidence of resolution will disqualify the Candidate from
eligibility consideration.
4. Prohibited Persons. ATF applies a specific policy to Candidates relating to an individual’s prohibition from
possessing or receiving firearms, explosives, and/or ammunition. This policy, based on the prohibitions outlined
in the Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C. Chapter 44) and Importation, Manufacture, Distribution, and Storage of
Explosives Materials (18 U.S.C. Chapter 40), is applied to the Candidate’s responses to ATF F 8620.57,
Prohibited Persons Questionnaire (completed as part of the Personnel Security Package). ATF will conduct law
enforcement and court record checks to determine whether the Candidate complies with this ASQ.
a) Federal law states that it is unlawful for a person convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic
violence or has a qualifying order of protection against them to possess a firearm or ammunition. The
law prohibits these persons from shipping, transporting, or receiving firearms them ammunition.
b) Federal law prohibits the possession of firearms, ammunition, and explosives by a person convicted
of a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year; is a fugitive from justice; is an
unlawful user of, or addicted to, a controlled substance; has been adjudicated as a mental defective or
committed to a mental institution; is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States; is an alien who
has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (with certain exceptions); has been
discharged from the military under dishonorable conditions; or has renounced them U.S. citizenship.
c) Federal law prohibits the receipt of firearms and ammunition and the receipt or possession of
explosives by a person under indictment for a crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding
one year.
5. Residency and Citizenship Requirements. The DOJ has specific requirements relating to a Candidate’s
residency status and citizenship, including that non-U.S. citizens shall not be authorized access to IT systems.
Compliance with this ASQ is determined by identifying the Candidate’s residency status and citizenship through
a review of the Candidate’s responses to ATF F 8620.58, Residency and Citizenship (completed as part of the
Personnel Security Package); review of the Candidate’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII); determination
regarding the type of position applied for by the Candidate; and verification whether the Candidate requires
computer access.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 26 of 97
a) Residency Requirements. For 3 of the last 5 years, the Candidate must have either resided in the
United States, worked for the United States in a foreign country in a Federal or military capacity, and/
or been a dependent of a Federal or military employee in a foreign country. (The 3 years need not be
consecutive; they may be cumulative during the past 5 years.)
b) Citizenship Requirements. The Candidate must be able to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or
proof that they are a foreign national legally permitted to reside in the U.S. in order to work on an ATF
contract and gain access to ATF information and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities. (Acceptable
Department of Homeland Security Credentials to prove immigrant status or employment authorization
are listed on Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.)
1) Foreign nationals’ country of citizenship must be on the approved countries list as defined
by the Federal Personnel Vetting Investigative Standards or superseding regulations.
2) Candidates who are non-U.S. citizens may not be authorized access to or assist in the
development, operation, management or maintenance of ATF IT systems unless temporary
eligibility has been approved by the ATF Director, with the concurrence of the DOJ Chief
Information Officer and the Department Security Officer.
6. Selective Service. Although there are a few exceptions, the Military Selective Service Act requires all male
U.S. citizens born after December 31, 1959, who are 18 years old but not yet 26 years old to register with the
Selective Service. Male Candidates should access https://www.sss.gov/ to verify that they are registered with
the Selective Service. This requirement is applied to male Candidates’ responses on Optional Form (OF) 306,
Declaration for Federal Employment. ATF will also conduct a Selective Service query to determine whether the
Candidate complies with the Selective Service Laws and this ASQ.
7. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12). This Directive sets forth policy regarding the
completion of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) check prior to the Candidate being provided a federally-
issued identification card for a Federal building and access to Government IT systems.
a) When requested by an ATF representative, the Candidate must be able to present (in person
for viewing) two forms of original, unexpired government-issued identification in accordance with
HSPD-12 requirements (e.g., raised seal birth certificate or current passport, along with a current
driver’s license or state-issued photo identification card). Copies of the forms of identification and/or
unexpired documents are not acceptable.
b) The COR or other approved ATF representative must complete a PIV check form and submit it along
with the Personnel Security Package to the PSD.
c) The Contractor should advise the Candidate to locate the necessary forms of identification and/or
documents in advance to assist in timely completion of this part of the personnel security process.
E. Contractor’s Preliminary Determination of Employment Eligibility. The Contractor must make a preliminary
determination whether the Candidate complies with the ASQs after reviewing the Candidate’s completed Personnel
Security Package.
1. When a Contractor determines that a Candidate is not in compliance with one or more of the ASQs, the
Contractor should not submit the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package for personnel security processing and
should identify a new Candidate for consideration.
2. When a Contractor makes an initial determination that the Candidate complies with the ASQs, the
Contractor should follow the below guidance relating to the E-Verify Program, Tentative Employment Offer, and
Employment References. Once the Contractor completes these responsibilities, the Contractor shall submit the
Candidate’s Personnel Security Package to the CO/COR.
F. E-Verify Program. Once the Contractor makes a preliminary determination that the Candidate is in compliance
with ATF ASQs, the Contractor must access the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify Program to verify the
Candidate’s U.S. employment eligibility, regardless of the Candidate’s citizenship status. If the Contractor cannot verify
the Candidate’s employment eligibility, the Candidate’s Personnel Security Package shall not be forwarded to the CO/
COR.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 27 of 97
1. Contractors must register for access to the E-Verify Program on-line at https://www.vis-dhs.com/
employerregistration/. This website provides instructions to employers on completing a Memorandum of
Understanding required for official registration in the E-Verify Program.
2. Contractors requesting additional information about the Program can visit the E-Verify website at
www.dhs.gov/E-Verify or call the E-Verify Program office at 1-888-464-4218.
G. Notification of Candidate Employment Reference Checks. The Contractor shall inform the Candidate that before
being approved for access, ATF will conduct Supervisory Employment Reference Checks for all the Candidate’s
employments during the past 2 years if the Candidate is being submitted for a Temporary Eligibility determination. In
addition, Contractors shall advise Candidates that employment records may be reviewed for all employments during the
past 5 years if a background investigation (BI) is conducted.
H. Personnel Security Processing. Upon completion of the Candidate screening, the Contractor shall forward the
Personnel Security Package to the CO/COR. The CO/COR will review the entire Package for completeness. The CO/
COR will then electronically submit the Candidate along with all applicable personnel security forms to the PSD through
PSD’s Case Management System. The Candidate must submit his/her fingerprint cards to the PSD via commercial mail
carrier to 99 New York Avenue, Suite 1.E-300, Washington, DC 20226 for processing.
Note: The personnel security process will not begin until a full package is submitted to include fingerprint
cards.
1. Costs and fees associated with the Candidate screening (including fingerprinting) incurred by the Contractor or
Candidate will not be reimbursed by the Federal government.
2. If a full BI is required, it may be a lengthy process to complete, depending on the complexity of the BI.
3. To the extent practicable, the Contractor is encouraged to fill all positions with Candidates who have a current
favorably adjudicated Federal BI that meets or exceeds the level of investigation required for the position. This
may allow reciprocity of the Candidate’s prior BI which could expedite the personnel security process.
I. Pre-Employment Screening (PES). The PSD will conduct a pre-employment screening (PES) on all Candidates,
including those being considered for reciprocity. This screening is a thorough review, and expanded analysis, if
necessary, of the Candidate’s compliance with the Federal requirements and ASQs.
1. A favorable PES determination must be made to continue with the personnel security process.
2. If an unfavorable PES determination is made, the personnel security process will be terminated; the CO/COR
will be notified; and the Contractor may be requested to submit another Candidate for consideration.
J. Adjudication of the Candidate’s BI. Once the BI has been completed, the PSD will adjudicate the BI by applying the
suitability standards under 5 CFR, Part 731, Federal adjudicative guidelines and ASQs. The PSD will then make a
favorable or unfavorable adjudicative determination on whether to grant the Candidate access to ATF information, IT
systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities. The PSD will advise the CO/COR, who, in turn, will advise the
Contractor of ATF’s adjudicative determination.
K. Authorized Access to ATF Information, IT Systems, and/or Unescorted Access to ATF Facilities. A Candidate shall not
be granted access to unclassified sensitive ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities until a
favorable adjudicative determination has been made or temporary eligibility has been approved by the PSD.
Request for Temporary Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position
A. Conditions for Requesting Temporary Eligibility. To satisfy urgent ATF staffing needs, the CO/COR may request
temporary eligibility of the mandatory pre-employment BI for a Candidate requiring access to ATF information, IT systems,
and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities.
B. Submitting a Request for Temporary Eligibility. After justifying the need for temporary eligibility and obtaining all of the
necessary approvals, the CO/COR will prepare an ATF F 8620.69, Request for Temporary Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive
15A00024Q00000056 Page 28 of 97
Position and submit it along with the completed ATF Forms 8620.33, Employment Reference, for each of the Candidate’s
employments during the past 2 years. The CO/COR is responsible for conducting all reference checks unless a CO/COR
receives prior approval from the PSD to designate another individual to conduct the reference checks.
C. Advantages/Disadvantages of Obtaining Temporary Eligibility. An approved temporary eligibility will allow the
Candidate to begin the ATF assignment prior to the completion of the BI. However, if derogatory information develops
during the course of the Candidate’s BI, access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or unescorted access to ATF facilities
will be rescinded. The Contractor may submit another Candidate for consideration.
Reciprocity
A. Criteria for Applying Reciprocity. In accordance with Executive Order 13488, guidance from the Office of Personnel
Management and Security Executive Agent Directive 7 issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence,
ATF may apply reciprocity to a prior favorably adjudicated Federal BI. In order for reciprocity to be applicable, all of the
following criteria must be met:
1. The Candidate is a current ATF employee, an applicant for an ATF position, or being considered for a non-
ATF personnel position.
2. A favorably adjudicated BI was conducted and meets or exceeds the position sensitivity level of the
investigation required for the position.
3. If the Candidate is currently enrolled in a Continuous Evaluation/Continuous Vetting program, reciprocity can
be applied regardless of when the prior reciprocal BI was completed.
4. If the Candidate is not enrolled in a CE/CV program, the prior reciprocal investigation must have been
completed within the past 5 years; or
5. If the Candidate has an active security clearance (regardless of level), the investigation must have been
completed within the past 7 years.
6. The Candidate has not had a break in Federal service of in accordance with the Personnel Vetting – Transfer
of Trust scenario.
7. The favorable adjudication was based on the criteria in 5 CFR 731, or equivalent.
8. No new issues have been identified since the favorable adjudication.
9. Issues identified in the prior BI do not have a direct nexus with the core duties of the new position, suitability
standards, adjudicative guidelines, ASQs, and ATF’s mission.
B. Personnel Security Process When Applying Reciprocity. If reciprocity is applicable:
1. The Candidate’s Personnel Security Package must still be submitted to allow the PSD to conduct a pre-
employment screening/evaluation of ATF’s ASQs; and
2. A Request for Temporary Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position will not be processed.
Denial or Disapproval of Access to ATF Information, IT Systems, and/or Unescorted Access to Facilities
A. Notification to CO/COR. If a Candidate is denied or disapproved for access to ATF information, IT systems, and/or
unescorted access to ATF facilities due to issues found during the BI, the PSD will notify the CO/COR.
B. Notification to Contractor. The CO/COR will notify the Contractor when a Candidate’s access is denied or disapproved;
and the CO/COR may request that the Contractor provide another Candidate for consideration.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 29 of 97
Privacy Act Requests
A. Request for a Copy of a BI File. Once the PSD makes a favorable or unfavorable adjudicative determination, a
Candidate may receive a copy of his/her BI file by submitting a written Privacy Act request. The request must be
addressed to:
Disclosure Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

99 New York Avenue, NE, Suite 4E-301,
Washington, DC, 20226
B. Monetary Costs Associated with Privacy Act Request. The Candidate is responsible for assuming all monetary costs
associated with such request.
Escorted Access in ATF Facilities
A. Determination That Only Escorted Access in ATF Facilities is required. In those instances where the Contractor, CO
or COR believes that a Candidate will only require escorted access in ATF facilities and will not need unescorted access
to ATF facilities or access to any unclassified sensitive ATF information or IT systems, the PSD should be notified of
the initial assessment along with documentation with the reasons for the for the determination. The PSD, in consultation
with the CO/COR, will make the final determination on whether the personnel security process will be conducted on the
Candidate or if escorted procedures can be authorized.
Note: Escorted procedures are only permitted for intermittent access to ATF facilities, and when there will be no
access to ATF information or IT systems (i.e., Xerox mechanic, shredding company/vending machine personnel,
etc.)
B. Police Check Inquiries for Candidate’s with Escorted Access in ATF Facilities. When the PSD determines that the
Candidate will only require escorted access to ATF facilities and/or ATF construction sites, or will only be provided with
access to low-risk, non-sensitive ATF information (e.g., information that does not adversely affect the conduct of Federal
programs or the privacy to which individuals are entitled), the Candidate will undergo a criminal history check (police
check inquiry) in lieu of the personnel security process.
1. ATF’s Physical Security Programs Branch or the respective ATF field division/office is responsible for
conducting police check inquiries and making a favorable or unfavorable determination whether to grant the
Candidate escorted access to ATF facilities.
2. A police check inquiry is a separate procedure from the personnel security process and cannot be used as a
substitution for the process; or as a temporary measure to grant access before the completion of the personnel
security process.
Non-Disclosure Agreement for Access to Unclassified Sensitive Information
A. Agreement to Safeguard Unclassified Sensitive ATF Information, also referred to as Sensitive But Unclassified
information or Controlled Unclassified Information. All Candidates are required to formally acknowledge their obligation
to safeguard unclassified sensitive ATF information and their understanding of the penalties imposed for making an
unauthorized disclosure of such information.
B. Acknowledgement of Agreement. Candidates make this acknowledgement promptly after entering on duty by
completing a certification through ATF’s Justice Talent Management System (JTMS) or ATF F 8800.6, Non-Disclosure
Agreement for Access to Unclassified Sensitive Information.
Self-Reporting Requirements
A. All contractor employees must comply with DOJ Policy Statement 1700.04, Department Personnel Security Reporting
Requirements.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 30 of 97
B. All contractor employees must complete the Self-Reporting Requirements for All Contractor Personnel certification.
The PSD must retain a copy of this certification in the contractor employee’s security file.
C. Contractor employees must self-report all arrests and allegations of misconduct (on or off duty).

module. Contractor employees without access to iReport must use a hard copy reporting form provided by the COR or by
requesting a copy from the PSD.
E. Additional reporting requirements are applicable for contractor employees who have access to National Security
Information (NSI). See addendum A1, if applicable.
Reportable Activities of Other Covered Personnel
To ensure the protection of classified information or other information specifically prohibited by law from disclosure,
covered personnel who occupy national security positions or sensitive positions, regardless of whether a clearance has
been granted, must alert the PSD to reportable activities of other covered personnel that may be of potential security or
counterintelligence concerns. Those activities include:

F. Criminal conduct.
G. Any activity that raises doubts about whether another covered person’s continued eligibility is clearly consistent with
the interests of national security.
H. Any misuse of U.S. Government property or information systems.
Periodic Reinvestigations
A. Periodic Reinvestigation Requirement. Until such time as individuals occupying Public Trust positions are enrolled
into a CE/CV program, they must undergo periodic reinvestigations in accordance with the 2012 Federal Investigative
Standards and the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Contractor Security Requirements, DOJ 1700.01. Periodic background
reinvestigations are required at least every 5 years.
B. Notification When Periodic Reinvestigation is due. The PSD will contact Contractor personnel directly or through
the ATF CO/COR when they are due for reinvestigations. Contractor personnel must comply with all reinvestigation

remediation services shall include at least 18 months of credit monitoring and, for serious or large incidents
as determined by the Government, call center help desk services for the individuals whose PII was lost or
compromised. When DOJ requests notification, the Department Chief Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer and
SCOP will direct the Contractor on the method and content of such notification to be sent to individuals whose
PII was breached. By performing this work, the Contractor agrees to full cooperation in the event of a breach.
The Contractor should be self-insured to the extent necessary to handle any reasonably foreseeable breach,
with another source of income, to fully cover the costs of breach response, including but not limited to victim
remediation.
C. Government Records Training, Ownership, and Management
(1) Records Management Training and Compliance
(a) The Contractor must ensure that all employees and Subcontractors that have access to PII as well as to
those involved in the creation, use, dissemination and/or destruction of PII take the DOJ Records and Information
Training for New Employees (RIM) training course or another training approved by the Contracting Officer or COR.
This training will be provided at the outset of the Subcontractor’s/employee’s work on the contract and every year
thereafter. The Contractor shall maintain copies of certificates as a record of compliance and must submit an
email notification annually to the COR verifying that all employees working under this contract have completed the
required records management training.
(b) The Contractor agrees to comply with Federal and Agency records management policies, including those
policies associated with the safeguarding of records containing PII and those covered by the Privacy Act of
1974. These policies include the preservation of all records created or received regardless of format, mode of
transmission, or state of completion.
(2) Records Creation, Ownership, and Disposition
(a) The Contractor shall not create or maintain any records not specifically tied to or authorized by the contract
using Government IT equipment and/or Government records or that contain Government Agency information.
The Contractor shall certify, in writing, the appropriate disposition or return of all Government information at the
conclusion of the contract or at a time otherwise specified in the contract. In accordance with 36 CFR 1222.32,
the Contractor shall maintain and manage all Federal records created in the course of performing the contract in
accordance with Federal law. Records may not be removed from the legal custody of DOJ or destroyed except in
accordance with the provisions of the agency records schedules.
(b) Except as stated in the Performance Work Statement and, where applicable, the Contractor’s Commercial
License Agreement, the Government Agency owns the rights to all electronic information (electronic data,
electronic information systems or electronic databases and all supporting documentation and associated metadata
created as part of this contract. All deliverables (including all data and records) under the contract are the property
of the U.S. Government and may be considered federal records, for which the Agency shall have unlimited rights
to use, dispose of, or disclose such data contained therein. The Contractor must deliver sufficient technical
documentation with all data deliverables to permit the agency to use the data.
(c) The Contractor shall not retain, use, sell, disseminate, or dispose of any government data/records
or deliverables without the express written permission of the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s
Representative. The Agency and its contractors are responsible for preventing the alienation or unauthorized
15A00024Q00000056 Page 46 of 97
destruction of records, including all forms of mutilation. Willful and unlawful destruction, damage or alienation
of Federal records is subject to the fines and penalties imposed by 18 U.S.C. § 2701. Records may not be
removed from the legal custody of the Agency or destroyed without regard to the provisions of the Agency records
schedules.
D. Data Privacy and Oversight
(1) Restrictions on Testing or Training Using Real Data Containing PII

Contractor shall use synthetic or de-identified real data for testing or training whenever feasible.
(2) Requirements for Contractor IT Systems Hosting Government Data
The Contractor is required to obtain an Authority To Operate (ATO) for any IT environment owned or controlled
by the Contractor or any Subcontractor on which Government data shall reside for the purposes of IT system
development, design, data migration, testing, training, maintenance, use, or disposal.
(3) Requirement to Support Privacy Compliance
(a) If this contract requires the development, maintenance or administration of information technology[9], the
Contractor shall support the completion of the Initial Privacy Assessment (IPA) document, if requested by
Department personnel. An IPA is the first step in a process to identify potential privacy issues and mitigate privacy
risks. The IPA asks basic questions to help components assess whether additional privacy protections may be
needed in designing or implementing a project[10] to mitigate privacy risks, and whether compliance work may be
needed. Upon review of the IPA, the OPCL determines whether a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) document
and/or SORN, or modifications thereto, are required. The Contractor shall provide adequate support to complete
the applicable risk assessment and PIA document in a timely manner, and shall ensure that project management
plans and schedules include the IPA, PIA, and SORN (to the extent required) as milestones. Additional information
on the privacy compliance process at DOJ, including IPAs, PIAs, and SORNs, is located on the DOJ OPCL
website (https://dojnet.doj.gov/privacy/), including DOJ Order 0601, Privacy and Civil Liberties. The Privacy Impact
Assessment Guidance and Template outline the requirements and format for the PIA.
(b) If the contract involves an IT system build or substantial development or changes to an IT system that may
require privacy risk assessment and documentation, the Contractor shall provide adequate support to DOJ to
ensure DOJ can complete any required assessment, and IPA, PIA, SORN, or other supporting documentation to
support privacy compliance. The Contractor shall work with personnel from the program office, OPCL, the Office
of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), and the Office of Records Management and Policy to ensure that the
privacy assessments and documentation are kept on schedule, that the answers to questions in the documents are
thorough and complete, and that questions asked by the OPCL and other offices are answered in a timely fashion.
The Contractor must ensure the completion of required PIAs and documentation of privacy controls consistent with
federal law and standards, e.g. NIST 800-53, Rev. 5; and compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, E-Government
Act of 2002, Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, and key OMB guidelines, e.g., OMB Circular
A-130.
[1] “[T]he term ‘record’ means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an
agency, including, but not limited to, his education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment
history and that contains his name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the
individual, such as a finger or voice print or a photograph.” 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a)(4). “[T]he term ‘system of records’ means
a group of any records under the control of any agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or
by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual.” 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a)(5).
[2] As stated in FAR 52.224-3 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Managing Federal
Information as a Strategic Resource (2016), “’personally identifiable information’ means information that can be used to
distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable
to a specific individual.” Regarding “sensitive PII,” “[t]he sensitivity level of the PII will depend on the context, including
the purpose for which the PII is created, collected, used, processed, stored, maintained, disseminated, disclosed, or
disposed. For example, the sensitivity level of a list of individuals’ names may depend on the source of the information,
the other information associated with the list, the intended use of the information, the ways in which the information will be
processed and shared, and the ability to access the information.” OMB Circular A-130, at App. II-2.
[3] The DOJ OPCL Resources page is available at https://www.justice.gov/opcl/resources.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 47 of 97
[4] As stated in DOJ Instruction 0900, “Contractors must notify the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer’s
Representative, and JSOC (or component-level SOC) within 1 hour of discovering any incidents, including breaches,
consistent with this Instruction, guidance issued by the CPCLO, NIST standards and guidelines, and the US-CERT
notification guidelines.”
[5] https://www.justice.gov/file/4336/download
[6] As stated in DOJ Instruction 0900, the description should include the type of information that constitutes PII; purpose
for which PII is collected, maintained, and used; extent to which PII identifies a peculiarly vulnerable population; the
determination of whether the information was properly encrypted or rendered partially or completely inaccessible by other
means; format of PII (e.g., whether PII was structured or unstructured); length of time PII was exposed; any evidence
confirming that PII is being misused or that it was never accessed.
[7] As stated in DOJ Instruction 0900, the report should include the nature of the cyber threat (e.g., Advanced Persistent
Threat, Zero Day Threat, data exfiltration) for cyber incidents.
[8] As stated in DOJ Instruction 0900, the report should include analysis on whether the data is accessible, usable, and
intentionally targeted.
[9] As defined in 40 U.S.C. § 11101, the term “information technology” means any equipment or interconnected system
or subsystem of equipment, used in the automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management,
movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information by the executive
agency, if the equipment is used by the executive agency directly or is used by a contractor under a contract with
the executive agency that requires the use (i) of that equipment or (ii) of that equipment to a significant extent in the
performance of a service or the furnishing of a product; includes computers, ancillary equipment (including imaging
peripherals, input, output, and storage devices necessary for security and surveillance), peripheral equipment designed to
be controlled by the central processing unit of a computer, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including
support services), and related resources; but does not include any equipment acquired by a federal contractor incidental
to a federal contract.
[10] In this instance, the term “project” is used to scope the activities (e.g., creating, collecting, using, processing, storing,
maintaining, disseminating, disclosing, or disposing of information) covered by an IPA. A project is intended to be
technology-neutral, and may include an information system, a digital service, an information technology, a combination
thereof, or some other activity that may create potential privacy issues or privacy risks that would benefit from an IPA. The
scope of a project covered by an IPA is discretionary, but components should work with their SCOP and OPCL.

(End of Clause)
DOJ-03 Personnel Security Requirements For Contractor Employees (Nov 2021)
Work performed under this contract will involve any one or more of the following: access to DOJ Information, which may
include Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), i.e., unclassified, sensitive DOJ information, and/or access to DOJ
Information Technology (IT) systems, and/or unescorted access to DOJ space or facilities. Contractor employees will
occupy Public Trust Positions, unless clause alternates are applied.
1. General Requirements
(a) (1) All references to “contract(or) personnel” and “contract(or) employee” in this clause means all individuals, without
limitation, to include individuals employed by the contractor, team member, subcontractor, consultant, and/or independent
contractor, who will have access to information of the Department of Justice (DOJ) or information that is within the custody
and control of the DOJ, access to DOJ IT systems, and/or unescorted access to DOJ facilities/space in connection
with the performance of this contract. “Employment” as used herein does not create nor imply an employer/employee
relationship between the DOJ and contractor employees.
(b) (1) The type of security investigation required for each contractor employee will be governed by the type and
risk level of information made available to the contractor employee. The contractor will not be permitted to commence
performance under this contract until a sufficient number of its personnel, as determined by the Security Programs
Manager (SPM), in consultation with the Contracting Officer’s Representative if one is appointed, have received the
requisite security approval.
(c) Except where specifically noted otherwise, the federal government will be responsible for the cost and conduct of
the investigation.
(d) The contractor shall ensure that no contractor employee commences performance prior to receipt of a written
authorization from the contracting officer, COR, or the SPM that performance by the respective contractor employee is
authorized.
(e) The data and other information to which the contractor may have access as a result of this contract is the property
of, and/or within the custody and control of, the Department, and its disclosure to third parties is governed by various
statutes and regulations, the violation of which may subject the discloser to criminal penalties.
2. Citizenship and Residency Requirements

15A00024Q00000056 Page 56 of 97
(a) Residency Requirement. (1) Contractor employees in Public Trust positions, both U.S. citizens and non-U.S.
citizens, must meet the Department’s residency requirement if they will require access to DOJ information, IT systems, or
unescorted access to facilities. For three years (not necessarily consecutive years) out of the last five years immediately
prior to employment under the Department contract the contractor employee must have: (i) resided in the U.S.; (ii) worked
for the U.S. in a foreign country as either an employee or contractor in a federal civilian or military capacity; or, (iii) been
a dependent of a federal civilian or military employee or contractor working for the U.S. in a foreign country. At the
Department’s sole discretion, the residency requirement may be waived by the Department Security Officer (DSO) for
contractor employees on a case-by-case basis where justified by extenuating circumstances. The residency requirement
does not apply to contractor employees residing in foreign countries that are hired to work in American embassies/
consulates/missions located outside of the United States and who require access to DOJ information, IT systems, or
unescorted access provided that an adequate background investigation can be conducted, with favorable adjudication, as
determined by the DSO.
(b) Citizenship. (1) Aside from the specific exceptions set forth in Section 1.2(b)(2), for Public Trust positions, the DOJ
requires that contractor employees be U.S. citizens and nationals, or lawful permanent residents seeking U.S. citizenship.
Any prospective non-U.S. citizen contractor employee who requires access to DOJ information systems, DOJ information,
and/or unescorted facilities access must also have been granted a waiver as described below in paragraphs 1.2(d) and/or
(e). The contractor is responsible for verifying that the non-U.S. citizens working under this contract are lawful permanent
residents seeking U.S. citizenship.
(2) Exception for Certain Non-U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees: (i) Non-U.S. citizen expert witnesses,
litigative consultants, and interpreters in rare foreign languages are not required to be lawful permanent residents
seeking U.S. citizenship. However, they must be granted a waiver for access to unclassified DOJ information,
whether CUI or not, DOJ IT systems, and/or unescorted facility access, as described below in paragraph 1.2(d)
and (e), regardless of the duration of their duties. (ii) Non-U.S. Citizen contractor employees residing in foreign
countries who are hired to work for the Department of Justice in American embassies/consulates/missions
outside of the United States are not required to be lawful permanent residents seeking U.S. citizenship.
(c) Dual Citizenship. (1) U.S. citizens who hold dual citizenship with a foreign country are considered U.S. citizens
within the meaning of this clause, and may be considered for, but are not entitled to, contract employment as U.S. citizens
consistent with this clause. The means by which the contractor employee obtained or exercises his or her dual citizenship
status will be a consideration in the Public Trust Investigation (PTI) adjudication, and/or waiver approval processes
discussed in this clause.
(d) Access to DOJ Information Technology Systems. Non-U.S citizens are not authorized to access DOJ information
technology (IT) systems or assist in the development, operation, management, or maintenance of DOJ IT systems,
including providing IT system support, unless a waiver has been granted by the Head of the DOJ component or designee,
with the prior concurrence of both the DSO and the DOJ Chief Information Officer, allowing computer access by the non-
U.S. citizen. Such a waiver will be granted only in exceptional and unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis. It
should be noted that the Justice Consolidated Office Network (JCON) is a sensitive DOJ IT system and any contractor
employee who will need access to JCON must be a U.S. citizen or have received a waiver. In order for a waiver to be
considered for approval: (1) There must be a compelling reason for using this individual as opposed to a U.S. citizen; (2)
The type of personnel security vetting that has been conducted on the individual, and vetting results, that would mitigate
risk; and (3) The waiver must be in the best interest of the federal government.
(e) Access to Unclassified DOJ Information and Unescorted Access to DOJ Facilities or Space. (1) Except as provided
under 1.2(b)(2), non-U.S. citizens are not authorized to access DOJ information and/or unescorted access to DOJ
facilities or space, unless a waiver has been granted by the DSO, allowing access by the non-U.S. citizen. Such a waiver
will be granted on a case-by-case basis where justified at the discretion of the DSO.
3. Background Investigation Requirements
(a) (1) Unless otherwise stated below, all contractor personnel are subject to a Public Trust Investigation (PTI). The
SPM will determine the type of investigation for each contractor employee based on the risk category (i.e., the nature of
the position and degree of harm that could be caused by the individual in that position) and whether the position is long-
term or short-term. The PTI risk categories are listed below.
(i) High Risk Positions. The minimum background investigation required is a Tier 4 (T4) investigation, and the
five-year reinvestigation required is a Tier 4R (T4R) investigation. The 2017 version of the Standard Form (SF)
85P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions, is required.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 57 of 97
(ii) Moderate Risk Positions. The minimum background investigation required is a Tier 2 (T2) investigation. The
five-year reinvestigation required is a Tier 2R (T2R) investigation. The 2017 version of the SF-85P is required.
(iii) Low Risk/Non-Sensitive Positions. The minimum background investigation required for Low Risk/Non-
Sensitive positions is a Tier 1 (T1) investigation and the required five-year reinvestigation is also a Tier 1 (T1)
investigation. The SF 85, Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions, is required.
(b) Exception for Expert Witnesses. Expert Witnesses, litigative consultants, and interpreters in rare foreign
languages may not be subject to full background investigation requirements if alternative security requirements are
approved by the DSO.
(c) Short-Term U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees. Other than the exception in Section 1.3(b), short-term contractor
employees (6 months or less) who are U.S. citizens are not subject to a full background investigation, however, must
receive an approved pre-employment background investigation waiver. The required forms to complete and submit are
listed in Section 1.4(b) and (c)(2).
(d) Long-Term U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees. Other than the exception in Section 1.3(b), all long-term U.S.
citizen employees (longer than 6 months) are subject to a full background investigation in the risk category appropriate to
the position they will hold.
(e) Non-U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees. Other than the exception in 1.3(b), all non-U.S. citizen contractor
employees regardless of performance duration (short or long term) are subject to a full background investigation in the
risk category appropriate to the position they will hold.
(f) Reciprocity. (1) A Public Trust Investigation will be accepted under reciprocity if it meets the following guidelines:
(i) the investigation is current (investigations are considered current if completed within the last five years) and favorably
adjudicated, or the reinvestigation has been deferred; (ii) the investigation meets or exceeds the level of investigation
required for the DOJ contractual instrument; (iii) there has been no continuous (not cumulative) break in federal contract/
service employment of two years or more; (iv) there is no derogatory information since the favorable fitness determination
or adjudication that calls into question the individual’s fitness based on character or conduct; and (v) the investigative
record does not show conduct that is incompatible with the core duties of the new contract position. A “core duty” is a
continuing responsibility that is of particular importance to the relevant covered position or the achievement of an agency’s
mission. Core duties will vary from position to position.
4. Background Investigation Process
(a) e-QIP (or its successor). Public Trust background investigations/reinvestigations of contractor employees will
be performed by the DCSA. The investigative process requires contractor employees to complete the Electronic
Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) and provide additional information as specified in paragraph
1.4(b) below. Immediately after contract award, the contractor shall designate an employee as its “e-QIP Initiator” and
provide the name of this person to the SPM. The e-QIP Initiator must have, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated
Tier 1 investigation and the appropriate DOJ security approval before being given access to e-QIP. After the e-QIP
Initiator’s security approval is granted, the Contractor will be configured in e-QIP as a sub-agency to DOJ. The contractor
will then be responsible for initiating investigations for all contract personnel, whose previous investigation does not
meet reciprocity, in e-QIP for completion of the security questionnaire form and forwarding the electronic form with the
remainder of the security package to the SPM. Subject to the prior written approval of the SPM, the contractor may
designate an e-QIP Initiator for each subcontractor. Subcontractor e-QIP Initiators must have, at a minimum, a favorably
adjudicated Tier 1 investigation and the appropriate DOJ security approval before being provided access to e-QIP.
(b) Additional Documentation. (1) In addition to completing the e-QIP questionnaire (see 1.4(a), above), the contractor
shall ensure that each contractor employee occupying Public Trust Positions, including short-term employees, completes
and submits the following information through the contractor’s Corporate Security Officer:
(i) Digital Fingerprinting/FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Card. Two sets are required per applicant. The
contractor may schedule appointments with the SPM to be digitally fingerprinted; otherwise, fingerprinting by the
FBI or other law enforcement entity, as approved by the SPM, is required to ensure the identity of the person
being fingerprinted and for printing quality. All pertinent information must be completed by the individual taking
the fingerprints (FBI or other). Use of the physical FD-258 Applicant Fingerprint Card should only be used in
extenuating circumstances.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 58 of 97
(ii) DOJ-555 Fair Credit Reporting Act Disclosure. Authorizes DOJ to obtain one or more consumer/credit
reports on the individual. This form will be required if the Component SPM determines a credit check is
necessary for its Low Risk Level 1 contractor positions.
(iii) OF-306, Declaration for Federal Employment.
(iv) Foreign National Relatives or Associates Statement. This is only required if foreign national relatives or
associates were not disclosed on the security questionnaire form.
(v) Self-Reporting Requirements for All Contractor Personnel. This is an acknowledgement and acceptance
statement that every contractor must sign.
(vi) Additional information as may be required based on the review of the security questionnaire form.
The contractor shall review all forms/documents to ensure each is complete, accurate and meets all DOJ requirements,
including applicable residency and citizenship requirements. The contractor shall resolve any issues or discrepancies
with the contractor employee, including resubmission of corrected forms or documentation. Completed forms/documents
shall be submitted to the SPM (or designee, which may include the COR) within five (5) calendar days after being
finalized.
(c) Adjudication and Pre-Employment Background Investigation Waivers
(1) Except as set forth in this section, background investigations must be conducted and favorably adjudicated for
each contractor employee prior to commencing their work on this contract. Where programmatic needs do not permit
the federal government to wait for completion of the entire background investigation, a pre-employment background
investigation waiver for public trust contractors can be granted by the SPM, in consultation with the cognizant COR. Pre-
employment waivers cannot be used to circumvent delays in clearing classified contractors through the DCSA, if access
to classified information is required.
(2) As directed by the SPM, the contractor shall initiate pre-employment waivers for Public Trust Positions when
necessary. This may entail performing credit history checks and submission of these checks as part of the security
package, including satisfactory resolution of any issues prior to submission to the federal government. A waiver will be
disapproved if it develops derogatory information that cannot be resolved in the contractor employee’s favor. When a
waiver has been disapproved, the CO, in consultation with the SPM and COR, will determine (i) whether the contractor
employee will no longer be considered for work on a DOJ contract or (ii) whether to wait for the completion and favorable
adjudication of the background investigation before the contractor employee commences work on a Department contract.
The pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements include:
1. Verification of citizenship (copy of a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or U.S. passport);

2. Verification of compliance with the DOJ Residency Requirement of this Clause;
3. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
4. Favorable FBI fingerprint results;
5. Favorable credit report;
6. Favorable review of the OF-306 form, Declaration for Federal Employment;
7. Verification of the initiation of the appropriate background investigation (for long-term personnel); and
8. Receipt of the signed DOJ Self-Reporting Requirements for All Contractor Personnel (see Section 6,
below).
(3) The investigating agency (DCSA) will provide the SPM with the results of each proposed contractor employee’s
Public Trust investigation. Upon receipt of the investigation and any other pertinent documents from the investigating
agency, the SPM will determine whether each proposed contractor employee should be granted employment security
approval.
(4) The COR will notify the contractor of the results of Public Trust background investigations as they are completed
and adjudicated, including any individual who is found ineligible for employment security approval. For any individual
found ineligible for employment on a Department contract, the contractor shall propose a replacement and initiate the
background investigation process consistent with this clause.
5. Identity Proofing and Badging
(a) Access to DOJ Information, federally-controlled IT systems, and/or unescorted access to federally-controlled facilities
or space (regardless of whether the contractor employee will be issued a DOJ PIV card or building access badge) shall be
made available after each respective contractor employee has (1) met the identity proofing requirements outlined below,
and (2) completed all other security requirements stated elsewhere in this contract.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 59 of 97
(b) (1) Public Trust contractor employees must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official or an official of a
trusted contract company (i.e., has a facility security clearance) who is responsible for checking two forms of identification
in original form prior to commencement of work by the contractor employee and PIV card or building access badge
issuance (as applicable). Approval will be documented by the DOJ official or an official of a trusted contract company.
(Acceptable documents are listed in Form I 9, Employment Eligibility Verification, and at least one document must be a
valid state or federal government issued picture ID).
(c) [Reserved]
(d) All contractor employees requiring unescorted access to a DOJ controlled facility or space shall comply with the PIV
card or building access badge requirements outlined below:
(i) When any contractor employee enters a DOJ building for the first time, he/she shall allow one hour for security
processing and the creation and issuance of a building access badge. PIV cards require additional processing
time and will not likely be issued on the same day.
(ii) Building access badges shall be subject to periodic review by the contractor employee's supervisor and
checked against his/her personal identification. The contractor employees shall present themselves for the
issuance of renewed badges when required by the government as scheduled by the COR or his/her designee.
The contractor shall notify the COR when contractor employee badges are lost, and must immediately apply for
reissuance of a replacement badge. The contractor shall pay for reissued building access badges at no cost to
the government. It is the contractor employee's responsibility to return badges to the COR or his/her designee
when a contractor employee is dismissed, terminated or assigned to duties not within the scope of this contract.
6. Employee Reporting Requirements
(a) All contractor employees must sign the DOJ Self-Reporting Requirements for All Contractor Personnel statement
acknowledging and accepting the DOJ requirement that they immediately self-report certain information using the
Department’s iReport system. The COR or SPM will provide the Self-Reporting statement as well as a list of reportable
information, which varies by position sensitivity designation, to the contractor employee before commencing work under
the contract. If the contractor employee does not have access to the DOJ iReport System, the COR or SPM will provide a
fillable form for the contractor employee to complete and submit.
(b) The COR and SPM will review the written report and documentation and make a determination regarding continued
employment on a DOJ contract.
(c) DOJ reporting requirements are in addition to the DCSA reporting requirements and the contractor’s internal reporting
requirements.
7. Replacement Personnel
(a) The contractor shall make every effort to avoid costs to the government for security investigations for replacement of
contractor employees, and in so doing shall ensure that otherwise satisfactorily performing and physically able contractor
employees remain in contract performance for the duration of the contract. The contractor shall take all necessary steps
to ensure that contractor personnel who are selected for assignment to this contract are professionally qualified and
personally reliable, of reputable background and sound character, and able to meet all other requirements stipulated in
the contract.
(b) The fact that the government performs security investigations shall not in any manner relieve the contractor of its
responsibility to ensure that all contract personnel are reliable and of reputable background and sound character. Should
a security investigation conducted by the government and/or a contractor’s self-report or failure to self-report render
ineligible a contractor employee, the contracting officer will determine whether the contractor has violated this clause.
The contracting officer may direct the contractor, at its own expense, to remove and replace any contractor personnel who
fails to comply with or violates applicable requirements of this contract. Such action may be taken at the government’s
direction without prejudice to its rights under any other provision of this contract, including termination for default, and
the contractor may be held liable, at a minimum, for all reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the government to (i)
provide coverage (performance) through assignment of individuals employed by the government or third parties in those
cases where absence of contractor personnel would cause either a security threat or DOJ program disruption and (ii)
conduct security investigations in excess of those which would otherwise be required.
15A00024Q00000056 Page 60 of 97
(c) Nothing in this clause shall require the contractor to bear costs involved in the conduct of security investigations for
replacement of a contractor employee who separates from the contractor of his/her own accord, is incapacitated, or is
deceased.
(d) The contractor shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth under this clause and assumes all liability for
failure to comply. The rights and remedies conferred upon the government by this clause are in addition to all and other
rights and remedies pursuant to the contract and as established by law.
(End of Clause)
DOJ-07 Prohibition On Access By Non-U.S. Citizens To DOJ IT Systems (MAR 2002)
The Department of Justice does not permit the use of Non-U.S. citizens in the performance of this contract or commitment
for any position that involves access to or development of any DOJ IT system. By signing the contract or commitment
document, the contractor agrees to this restriction. In those instances where other non-IT requirements contained in the
contract or commitment can be met by using Non-U.S. citizens, those requirements shall be clearly described.

15A00024Q00000056 Page 69 of 97
1. General Requirements
(a) (1) All references to “contract(or) personnel” and “contract(or) employee” in this clause means all individuals, without
limitation, to include individuals employed by the contractor, team member, subcontractor, consultant, and/or independent
contractor, who will have access to information of the Department of Justice (DOJ) or information that is within the custody
and control of the DOJ, access to DOJ IT systems, and/or unescorted access to DOJ facilities/space in connection
with the performance of this contract. “Employment” as used herein does not create nor imply an employer/employee
relationship between the DOJ and contractor employees.
(Alt. I) [The following is added to the clause]: (2) Additionally, work performed under this contract will involve access to
classified information [National Security Information (NSI)].
(b) (1) The type of security investigation required for each contractor employee will be governed by the type and risk level
of information made available to the contractor employee. The contractor will not be permitted to commence performance
under this contract until a sufficient number of its personnel, as determined by the Security Programs Manager (SPM),
in consultation with the Contracting Officer’s Representative if one is appointed, have received the requisite security
approval.
(Alt. I) [The following is added to the Clause]: (2) All contractor employees requiring access to classified information will
be processed by Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) in accordance with the National Industrial
Security Program (NISP). The contractor will not be permitted to commence performance under this contract until a

(COR) if one is appointed, have received the requisite NSI Clearance.
(c) Except where specifically noted otherwise, the federal government will be responsible for the cost and conduct of the

(d) The contractor shall ensure that no contractor employee commences performance prior to receipt of a written
authorization from the contracting officer, COR, or the SPM that performance by the respective contractor employee is
authorized.
(e) The data and other information to which the contractor may have access as a result of this contract is the property of,
and/or within the custody and control of, the Department, and its disclosure to third parties is governed by various statutes
and regulations, the violation of which may subject the discloser to criminal penalties.
2. Citizenship and Residency Requirements
(a) Residency Requirement. (1) Contractor employees in Public Trust positions, both U.S. citizens and non-U.S.
citizens, must meet the Department’s residency requirement if they will require access to DOJ information, IT systems, or
unescorted access to facilities. For three years (not necessarily consecutive years) out of the last five years immediately
prior to employment under the Department contract the contractor employee must have: (i) resided in the U.S.; (ii) worked
for the U.S. in a foreign country as either an employee or contractor in a federal civilian or military capacity; or, (iii) been
a dependent of a federal civilian or military employee or contractor working for the U.S. in a foreign country. At the
Department’s sole discretion, the residency requirement may be waived by the Department Security Officer (DSO) for
contractor employees on a case-by-case basis where justified by extenuating circumstances. The residency requirement
does not apply to contractor employees residing in foreign countries that are hired to work in American embassies/
consulates/missions located outside of the United States and who require access to DOJ information, IT systems, or
unescorted access provided that an adequate background investigation can be conducted, with favorable adjudication, as
determined by the DSO.
(Alt. I) [The following is added to the clause]: (2) The residency requirement does not apply to contractor employees
working on the classified portion of this contract whose national security clearance has been processed by DCSA in
accordance with the NISP.
(b) Citizenship. (1) Aside from the specific exceptions set forth in Section 1.2(b)(2), for Public Trust positions, the DOJ
requires that contractor employees be U.S. citizens and nationals, or lawful permanent residents seeking U.S. citizenship.
Any prospective non-U.S. citizen contractor employee who requires access to DOJ information systems, DOJ information,
and/or unescorted facilities access must also have been granted a waiver as described below in paragraphs 1.2(d) and/or
15A00024Q00000056 Page 70 of 97
(e). The contractor is responsible for verifying that the non-U.S. citizens working under this contract are lawful permanent
residents seeking U.S. citizenship.
(2) Exception for Certain Non-U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees: (i) Non-U.S. citizen expert witnesses, litigative
consultants, and interpreters in rare foreign languages are not required to be lawful permanent residents seeking U.S.
citizenship. However, they must be granted a waiver for access to unclassified DOJ information, whether CUI or not,
DOJ IT systems, and/or unescorted facility access, as described below in paragraph 1.2(d) and (e), regardless of the
duration of their duties. (ii) Non-U.S. Citizen contractor employees residing in foreign countries who are hired to work for
the Department of Justice in American embassies/consulates/missions outside of the United States are not required to be
lawful permanent residents seeking U.S. citizenship.
(Alt. I) [The following is added to the Clause]: (3) Contractor employees requiring access to classified information will be
processed by DCSA in accordance with the NISP.
(c) Dual Citizenship. (1) U.S. citizens who hold dual citizenship with a foreign country are considered U.S. citizens within
the meaning of this clause, and may be considered for, but are not entitled to, contract employment as U.S. citizens
consistent with this clause. The means by which the contractor employee obtained or exercises his or her dual citizenship
status will be a consideration in the Public Trust Investigation (PTI) adjudication, and/or waiver approval processes
discussed in this clause.
(Alt. I) [The following is added to the clause]: (2) Contractor employees requiring access to classified information will be
(d) Access to DOJ Information Technology Systems. Non-U.S citizens are not authorized to access DOJ information
technology (IT) systems or assist in the development, operation, management, or maintenance of DOJ IT systems,
including providing IT system support, unless a waiver has been granted by the Head of the DOJ component or designee,
with the prior concurrence of both the DSO and the DOJ Chief Information Officer, allowing computer access by the non-
U.S. citizen. Such a waiver will be granted only in exceptional and unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis. It
should be noted that the Justice Consolidated Office Network (JCON) is a sensitive DOJ IT system and any contractor
employee who will need access to JCON must be a U.S. citizen or have received a waiver. In order for a waiver to be
considered for approval: (1) There must be a compelling reason for using this individual as opposed to a U.S. citizen; (2)
The type of personnel security vetting that has been conducted on the individual, and vetting results, that would mitigate
risk; and (3) The waiver must be in the best interest of the federal government.
(e) Access to Unclassified DOJ Information and Unescorted Access to DOJ Facilities or Space. (1) Except as provided
under 1.2(b)(2), non-U.S. citizens are not authorized to access DOJ information and/or unescorted access to DOJ
facilities or space, unless a waiver has been granted by the DSO, allowing access by the non-U.S. citizen. Such a waiver
will be granted on a case-by-case basis where justified at the discretion of the DSO.
3. Background Investigation Requirements
(a) (1) Unless otherwise stated below, all contractor personnel are subject to a Public Trust Investigation (PTI). The SPM
will determine the type of investigation for each contractor employee based on the risk category (i.e., the nature of the
position and degree of harm that could be caused by the individual in that position) and whether the position is long-term
or short-term. The PTI risk categories are listed below.
(i) High Risk Positions. The minimum background investigation required is a Tier 4 (T4) investigation, and the five-year
reinvestigation required is a Tier 4R (T4R) investigation. The 2017 version of the Standard Form (SF) 85P, Questionnaire
for Public Trust Positions, is required.
(ii) Moderate Risk Positions. The minimum background investigation required is a Tier 2 (T2) investigation. The five-year
reinvestigation required is a Tier 2R (T2R) investigation. The 2017 version of the SF-85P is required.
(iii) Low Risk/Non-Sensitive Positions. The minimum background investigation required for Low Risk/Non-Sensitive
positions is a Tier 1 (T1) investigation and the required five-year reinvestigation is also a Tier 1 (T1) investigation. The SF
85, Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions, is required.
(Alt. I) [The following is added to the clause]: (2). Contractor employees requiring access to classified information will be
15A00024Q00000056 Page 71 of 97
(b) Exception for Expert Witnesses. Expert Witnesses, litigative consultants, and interpreters in rare foreign languages
may not be subject to full background investigation requirements if alternative security requirements are approved by the
DSO.
(c) Short-Term U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees. Other than the exception in Section 1.3(b), short-term contractor
employees (6 months or less) who are U.S. citizens are not subject to a full background investigation, however, must
receive an approved pre-employment background investigation waiver. The required forms to complete and submit are
listed in Section 1.4(b) and (c)(2).
(d) Long-Term U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees. Other than the exception in Section 1.3(b), all long-term U.S. citizen
employees (longer than 6 months) are subject to a full background investigation in the risk category appropriate to the
position they will hold.
(e) Non-U.S. Citizen Contractor Employees. Other than the exception in 1.3(b), all non-U.S. citizen contractor employees
regardless of performance duration (short or long term) are subject to a full background investigation in the risk category
appropriate to the position they will hold.
(f) Reciprocity. (1) A Public Trust Investigation will be accepted under reciprocity if it meets the following guidelines: (i)
the investigation is current (investigations are considered current if completed within the last five years) and favorably
adjudicated, or the reinvestigation has been deferred; (ii) the investigation meets or exceeds the level of investigation
required for the DOJ contractual instrument; (iii) there has been no continuous (not cumulative) break in federal contract/
service employment of two years or more; (iv) there is no derogatory information since the favorable fitness determination
or adjudication that calls into question the individual’s fitness based on character or conduct; and (v) the investigative
record does not show conduct that is incompatible with the core duties of the new contract position. A “core duty” is a
continuing responsibility that is of particular importance to the relevant covered position or the achievement of an agency’s
mission. Core duties will vary from position to position.

5.1 Evaluation Criteria
1.0 EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
The Government will ensure all quotes received are fairly considered and an award is made to the responsible offeror(s) that are most
advantageous and propose the greatest-overall benefit (per the “best value” definition in FAR 2.101) to the Government IAW the basis
for selection stated within this RFQ. The Government will perform a comparative-analysis (comparing quotes/offers to each other) as
allowed in FAR subpart 13.106-2 to evaluate the timely and responsive quotations for this requirement, using the below, non-price
and price factors.
2.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA
The Government will evaluate said quotations in a simplified process (efficient and minimally-burdensome fashion) using
the below, evaluation criteria consisting of non-price factors and price factors.
• Factor 1: Technical Experience & Capability

• Factor 2: Past Performance
• Factor 3: Personnel Qualifications
• Factor 4: Price
The Government will determine which offerors propose the best value to the Government based on their demonstrated ability(ies)
and capability(ies) in relation to this requirement as well as their demonstrated feasibility of successful implementation of said
requirement.
The Government reserves the right to reject any quotation that’s non-compliant with the solicitation, unreasonable, or doesn’t
comprehend the complexity or risks associated with the work to be performed.”
2.0 GOVERNMENT'S APPROACH
Factor 1, Eligibility – Technical Acceptability

15A00024Q00000056 Page 81 of 97
The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror demonstrated its ability to provide all the required services addressed in the
PWS. To be found “Acceptable,” the Offeror’s quote must effectively demonstrate its knowledge, understanding, and technical
ability to successfully perform and manage the requirements of the PWS. The Offeror's demonstrated ability must meet/exceed the
specifications provided within this RFQ to be further considered for award.
The Government will use the below ratings for this factor to assess its level of confidence in the Offeror’s technical ability to
successfully fulfill/satisfy ATF’s requirement.
Rating Description
Acceptable Quote meets the minimum technical requirements of the RFQ.
Unacceptable Quote does not meet the minimum technical requirements of the
RFQ.
Factor 2, Past Performance

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's quote to determine the extent to which its performance demonstrates the likelihood of
successful performance in providing requirements similar in size, scope, and complexity to the PWS. The Government may choose
to evaluate publicly-available reports, and/or data from CPARS. The Government may use present- and/or past-performance data
obtained from a variety of sources, other than those dentified by the Offeror. The Government may use information gathered for past
performance in the responsibility determination.
The Government may consider the recent and relevant past performance of other companies when they are team members, affiliates,
or significant subcontractors, that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement; however, the Offeror must clearly explain
how these other companies will be significantly involved in the proposed task order. Where possible, ATF may interview each
reference provided to verify project scope, dollar value, and obtain additional past performance information.
The Government may consider awards/contracts/task orders performed for the Department of Justice or other-relevant, law-
enforcement agencies more significant in the evaluation, depending on relevancy.
The Government will use the below Relevance and Confidence Ratings for this factor to assess its level of confidence in the Offeror’s
ability to successfully fulfill/satisfy ATF’s requirement. Recent is defined as contract performance that occurred within three
(3) years from the date proposals are due. Relevant is defined as work similar in complexity, magnitude, and type of the
work described in the PWS. If the offeror has no recent/relevant past performance, the Government will rate its proposal
as Neutral. The Offeror must clearly identify that it has no recent or relevant past performance in its proposal to be rated
Neutral.
Relevance Rating Description

VERY RELEVANT The Offeror's effort in its performance record inolved essentially
the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ
requires.
RELEVANT The Offeror's effor in its performance record involved similar
scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires.
SOMEWHAT RELEVANT The Offeror's effort in its performance record involved some of the
scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ requires.
NOT RELEVANT The Offeror's effort in its performance record involved little/none
of teh scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this RFQ
requires.
Confidence Rating Description

HIGH The Government has high confidence the Offeror will successfully
perform the required effort, based on its recent-and-relevant past
performance, with little or no Government intervention.
SOME The Government has some confidence the Offeror will
successfully perform the required effort, based on its recent-and-
relevant past performance, with some Government intervention
LOW The Government has low confidence the Offeror will successfully
perform the required effort, based on its recent-and-relevant past
performance, even with Government intervention
15A00024Q00000056 Page 82 of 97
NEUTRAL No recent and relevant past performance record is available or the

Offeror's past performance record is so sparse that no meaningful
confidence assessment rating can reasonably be assi
Factor 3, Personnel Qualifications
The Government will review and evaluate the submitted resumes of key personnel and determine if the key personnel meet or exceed
the CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS of the PWS (Section 5) to perform the requirements of the PWS.
The Government will use the below Confidence Ratings for this factor to assess its level of confidence in the Offeror’s ability to
successfully fulfill/satisfy ATF’s requirement.
Adjectival Ratings Description

HIGH The Government has high confidence the Offeror's key personnel
are equipped and qualified to perform the requirement based on
the submitted resume(s).
SOME The Government has some confidence the Offeror's key personnel
LOW The Government has low confidence the Offeror's key personnel
NO CONFIDENCE The Government has no confidence the Offeror's key personnel are
equipped and qualified to perform the requirement based on the
submitted resume(s).
Factor 4, Price
The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic
requirement. This includes options under FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which applies to this solicitation. The
Government will evaluate the options under 52.217-8 by using the prices offered for the last option period and adding such to the
base and option years to arrive at the total-evaluated price. Evaluations of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the
option(s).

liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is
precluded.
(ii) Examples.
(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek
Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the
taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been
issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting
the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the
hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity
to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court
review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely
payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not
currently required to make full payment.
(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is
stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).
