2. Section K.14 and Section H.4

Page
K-18, Section K.14, "Facility Clearance," sub item (a)(1): It is stated that
Contract work will require access to classified information or SNM. What type of
classified information is anticipated to be involved in the program that will require
Contractor clearances, and is it possible for the Contractor to avoid such involvement and
still perform to contract requirements? |
Clause
K.14 "952.204-73 Facility Clearance" is a standard clause included in any DOE
contract which requires one or more Contractor employees to obtain a security clearance.
Even though the Contractor will be required to obtain a Facility Clearance due to the need
for security-cleared employees, the normal duties do not include processing classified
information or SNM. However, because some work will be performed in a Limited Security
Area where classified information is located, an "L" or "Q" clearance
is required for unescorted access. Therefore, a facility clearance cannot be avoided for
this contract. |
