The Fort Jackson Contractor Vetting Policy outlines procedures for vetting contractor employees requiring DoD Common Access Cards (CAC) at Fort Jackson. Its primary purpose is to maintain security by ensuring that only authorized individuals can work on the installation, thereby implementing compliance with Department of Defense antiterrorism standards and federal immigration laws. All contractors must be vetted under the Contractor Verification System and provide detailed contract data to the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES). The document emphasizes the need for contractors to maintain accurate records and verify social security numbers and immigration status through the E-Verify system. Additionally, it encourages participation in the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) Program to reduce unauthorized employment. Provisions detail badge issuance, maintenance, and reporting lost badges, underscoring legal obligations and repercussions for non-compliance, including penalties and potential adverse actions against contracts. This policy is particularly relevant to federal and state RFPs as it outlines security standards that participating contractors must adhere to in governmental contracts.
