The ATO may request assistance from using terrorist
screening databases to
conduct background checks on con- tract employees. These databases could include the National Crime Information Center, local law enforcement agency background checks, the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications Sys- tem, and the Defense Reporting System.

In addition, during contract execution, the ATO may conduct a post-award risk evaluation based on the contract award and changes to threat levels. Moreover, - cer’s representative (COR) on execution of the quality assurance surveillance plan the contract. Any changes in the threat or friendly situation could trigger the
Anticipating potential changes during the planning sequences, before complet- ing the requirements package, can avert problems when those events occur. The ATO must be attuned to the possibility and include appropriate review in con- nection with any changes to the Force Protection Conditions. If necessary, the ATO should contact the KO or COR for any changes to AT-related procedures that could affect the supporting contractor.
MANAGING THE WORKLOAD The requirement to integrate AT and OPSEC into the contract support pro- cess is not new. It has been promulgated in Army AT policy since 2006. If the requirement seems to be a tremendous addition in workload, perhaps a closer examination of the problem will reveal possible solutions.
Many Army organizations, as requiring activities, execute hundreds or even thou- sands of contracts in a given year. With volume this high, it might seem excessive every requirements package. Most often, however, organizations can develop ways to reduce the load.
Many contracts are similar enough to embed necessary procedures in a unique
command policy covering all contracts with the same security measures. In other cases, the contracts are spread through the chain of command, and multiple ATOs can evaluate the risk at the appropriate level. Distributing the load can reduce time spent reviewing all requirements packages. In still other situations, when demand is truly high with many differ- ing requirements, commands can train
In January, the Army issued the
ALARACT 015-2012 message, Use of an Antiterrorism/Operations Security (AT/ OPSEC) in Contracting Cover Sheet for Integrating AT/OPSEC into the Contract Support Process, stating that “a signed AT cover sheet is required to be included in all contract support requirements pack- ages except for supply contracts under - ment purchase card purchases.”
In February, the Deputy Assistant Sec- retary of
the Army for Procurement
released a Policy Alert that indicated that the cover sheet would become mandatory on May 1. The date was subsequently - icy Alert (PARC Policy Alert #12-22,
