Updated COVID 19 Safety Protocols for FBI Contractors

To All FBI Contractors and Potential Contractors: This Special Notice supplements and updates prior SAM.gov special notices issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), pertaining to safety protocols for federal contractors. FBI will continue to share any guidance or procedures via SAM.gov or through other appropriate means, including FBI.BIZ.gov. The FBI is providing updated guidance on its current and expected operating procedures applicable to Executive Order (EO) E.O. 14042, Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors; Safer Federal Workforce Task Force (Task Force) guidance (Guidance); Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council; and Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP). UPDATE : A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction that temporarily blocks the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for contractors and subcontractors across the country. Therefore, until further notice, the FBI will not take any further action(s) to implement or enforce FAR clause 52.223-99, “ENSURING ADEQUATE COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR FEDERAL CONTRACTORS (OCT 2021) (DEVIATION)” regarding vaccination requirements. The FBI reserves the right, as with current Department of Justice (DOJ) notice of procedures, to continue to enforce the safety protocols per OMB’s Safer Federal Workforce Task Force. Contractors who are not fully vaccinated are required to have a negative COVID test within the last 7 days prior to entering FBI space.
