What it makes you produce

One item for your checklist.

  1. Something somebody else has to issue you

    The same day if the issuer is one of your own suppliers, months if it is an assessor or an underwriter.

    • Level I antiterrorism awareness training completed for each person needing routine access, within 30 days of needing it and once a year after that

      Owed for each of your people whose work needs routine physical access to a federally controlled facility or military installation

      DFARS 252.204-7004(b)

When it is used

Prescribed at 204.7203, including in FAR Part 12 acquisitions, when contractor personnel need routine physical access to a federal or military installation. Flows down via (d) whenever the SUB's personnel need that access — including in commercial subs.

Read closely

(b)(1) is DoD-sponsored and certified computer or web-based distance learning and (b)(2) is instruction under a Level I antiterrorism awareness instructor, so the Department of Defense is the issuer either way and the two routes clear on very different calendars. The clause names no certificate and no record. (d) carries the same requirement into your own orders, commercial ones included, when a lower tier's people need that access.
