Transportation Safety and Security Inspection (TRANSS)

Please provide a response to the below follow-up questions to the RFI: 1) Personnel Clearance (PCL) / Investigation Requirements. Personnel working the contract will require a favorably completed National Agency Check with Local Credit (NACLC), resulting in SECRET eligibility (or higher) when adjudicated by the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO). Interim Secret clearance eligibility is accepted provided it was granted by DISCO. The Facility Security Officer (FSO) is responsible for ensuring NACLC investigations are submitted to DISCO and a minimum of Interim SECRET granted prior to contract start day. This requirement mandates the contractor have a minimum Facility Clearance Level (FCL) at the SECRET (or higher) level. Do your inspectors have a Secret or Interim Secret security clearance? 2) Company Facility Clearance (FCL). The contract will require the contractor and its sub-contractors to have a valid FCL at the SECRET level or higher. Interim Secret FCL's are acceptable provided they are not expired prior to final adjudication by Defense Security Service (DSS). FCL is required upon contract start date. Does your company have a Secret or Interim Secret Company Facility Clearance?
