Personnel Clearances and Privacy Act Considerations: All Contractor personnel shall be required to observe the requirement imposed on sensitive data by law, federal regulations, VA statutes and policy, VHA policy and associated requirements to ensure appropriate screening of all personnel. Because of the inherent sensitivity of data at VANTHCS and in the equipment to be maintained under this agreement, the level of security clearance required of the vendor will reflect the same level carried by VANTHCS staff for the function of the contract. The Contractor will ensure that their personnel and subcontractor personnel meet the above restrictions and that confidential and proprietary information shall be divulged only to those officers and officials of VA authorized to receive such information. The Contractor will require administrative access to a system that contains sensitive information and that is attached to the VA s network.
