One Government escort can accommodate a maximum of two non-resident/non-immigrant aliens. c. Due to limited availability of Government personnel, contractors shall not be permitted to employ non-resident/non-immigrant aliens as part of the contractors on-site workforce. Limited exceptions to this restriction may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Such exc eptions shall only be considered where a specialized skill or trade is not otherwise available, and even under such circumstances would only be considered for v ery limited duration, e.g., a few hours/days. However, even if limited exception is considered, access may still be denied. Contractors whose personnel are either denied entry to TYAD or permitted limited entry to TYAD due to the security requirements pe rtaining to non-resident aliens/non-immigrants are not relieved of their obligation to provide the required contract performance and must do so at no additional cost to the Government. Any contractor failing to perform or that fails to perform in a timely manner under such circumstances may be terminated for default or other contractual remedies as appropriate. d.
