As required by HIPAA, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has promulgated rules governing the security and use and disclosure of protected health information by covered entities, including the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In accordance with HIPAA, the Contractor is required to enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with VA under this contract, see attached for a copy. 2.CONTRACTOR PERSONNNEL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: a.All Contractor employees are subject to the same level of investigation as VA employees who have access to VA Sensitive Information. The level of background investigation commensurate with the level of access needed to perform the statement of work is: a Special Agreement Check (SAC). This requirement is applicable to all subcontractor personnel requiring the same access. The Contractor shall bear the expense of obtaining background investigations. If the investigation is conducted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) through the VA, the Contractor shall reimburse the VA within 30 days. b.Within five business days of receiving the award notice, the Contractor shall submit a completed Background Investigation Request Worksheet, to be provided after award, that lists all Contractor employees that will be providing preceptorship and fax it to the Contracting Officer (CO), contact information to be provided after award. c.All Contractor employees providing preceptorship are required to be fingerprinted within 14 calendar days of the award notice, except for those who received an e-mail from the VA (Veterans Affairs) SIC (Security Investigation Center) confirming reciprocity. Courtesy electronic fingerprints can be obtained at some VA facilities, including the Wilkes Barre Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) will schedule a fingerprinting appointment at a VA facility as soon as possible. Each Contractor employee shall take a copy of the VHA (Veterans Health Administration) SAC Memorandum, to be provided after award, to the fingerprinting appointment and complete it. Contractor employees shall fax the completed form to the Contracting Officer, contact information to be provided after award. The Office of Personnel Management sends the results of the SAC to the Veterans Service Center (VSC) Personnel Security Office within 5 days. The VSC Personnel Security Office reviews the results and makes an adjudication recommendation to the CO within 10 days, who will inform the Contractor POC of the outcome.
