- Description
- The following is the full text of the Background Investigations Clause, which is hereby incorporated into the combined synopsis/solicitation: 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 60 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 60 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. The following is hereby incorporated into the combined synopsis/solicitation to clarify the task order award amount: Task orders shall be issued for different lengths of time with respect to the length of performance. When consultant services are required by the Government, the Contracting Officer (CO) shall provide a copy of the Statement of Work (SOW) to the contractor. The SOW shall identify the objective to be performed and the location of school/schools which requires service, and other pertinent information to perform the task. The CO shall request a cost proposal from the contractor to perform the work. The contractor shall provide a cost proposal based on the daily rate awarded in their IDIQ contract times (x) the number of days to complete the task plus (+) travel costs, which shall be paid in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations plus (+) the special item costs to perform task order (e.g. certain materials), which have been certified in writing by the Contracting Officer as constituting part of the contractor???s undertaking. A firm fixed price task shall then be issued to the contractor to perform the service, when agreement is met on the cost proposal. All previous terms and conditions apply.
