The policy of the Department of the Navy (including the Marine Corps) is to deter and detect drug offenses on military installations. Measures taken to identify drug offenses on military installations and to prevent introduction of illegal drugs and paraphernalia include routine random inspection of personal possessions on entry or exit. If there is probable cause to believe that the contractor has been engaged in use, possession, or trafficking of drugs, the contractor may be detained for a limited period of time until he or she can be removed from the installation or turned over to the local law enforcement personnel having jurisdiction. When illegal drugs are discovered in the course of an inspection or search of a vehicle operated by a contractor, the contractor and vehicle may be detained for a reasonable period of time necessary to surrender the individual and vehicle to appropriate civil law enforcement personnel. Action may be taken to suspend working privileges as well as installation driving privileges. Implicit with the acceptance of this contract is the agreement by the contractor to comply with all Federal and State laws as well as regulations issued by the commander of the military installation concerning illegal drugs and paraphernalia. 10. FAILURE TO PERFORM: Should the contractor be unable to perform duties under this contract due to medical or physical disability for more than 13 consecutive days or because of questions concerning competency, ethics, or conduct, performance under this contract may be suspended by the contracting officer until such medical or physical disability is resolved, or until such questions concerning competency, ethics, or conduct have been resolved. If performance under the contract is so suspended, no compensation or reimbursement shall accrue to the contractor so long as performance is suspended.
