- Description
- The following information is hereby incorporated, in its entirety, into the combined synopsis/solicitation: A listing of all employees/consultants proposed to work on this project shall be identified in the quote. All employees/consultants of a company proposed to work on the project for this contract shall have a favorable security clearance/background investigation within 75 days after the effective date of the contract award. However, all employees/consultants proposed to work on the project shall have at a minimum, a favorable screening within 20 days after the effective date of the contract award. The paperwork to initiate the security clearance/background investigation shall be submitted to the Government within 24 hours after contract award to the BIA, OIEP, Security Office in order to begin the background investigation. All costs associated with the background investigation shall be the responsibility of the Government. The following Background Investigation Clause is hereby provided in its entirety: BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS Clause. In accordance with 25 U.S.C. 3201 (P.L. 101-630), Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act; 42 U.S.C. 13041, Crime Control Act of 1990; 441 Departmental Manual, Personnel Security and Suitability Requirements all positions with duties and responsibilities involving regular contact with or control over Indian children are subject to a background investigation and determination of suitability for employment. Accordingly, all such positions require a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP), Personnel Security and Suitability Program; and, a favorable background investigation determination conducted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). A favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination must be made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP), Personnel Security and Suitability Program prior to contract award or made within 75 days of incorporation of this clause into a current/exiting contract. Pending completion of a background investigation by OPM, the contractor who has been granted a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination must be within the sight and under the supervision of a Government employee who has had a completed background investigation (42 U.S.C. 13041 (3)) during contract performance until a final background investigation determination has been made. Prior employment with the Federal Government, including BIA, OIEP or the Bureau of Indian Affairs, does not assure that the appropriate screening or investigation was conducted nor does it alleviate or guarantee a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination or background investigation. Prior to contract award or during the 75 day period discussed in paragraph two, it is solely the company, individual or contractor?s responsibility to contact the BIA, OIEP Personnel Security and Suitability Program at (505) 248-6938/6939/6940/6383 in order to obtain a complete security package, which includes but is not limited to appropriate investigative forms and/or inquire about their previous investigation; and, obtain a screening (applicant and suitability) determination, and subsequent final background investigation. If an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made, a contract shall not be awarded to the individual who received an unfavorable screening or to the company who has proposed to employ the individual to perform the work. The individual and or the company who proposed to employ this individual may be determined to be non-responsible if an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made, which will make them ineligible for contract award. If an unfavorable final background investigation determination is made, the contract may be terminated and the employee in question shall not be authorized to provide service to the BIA, OIEP, if the service involves contact with or regular control over Indian children. All other terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
