Contractor will need a DUNS number, TIN number and be registered with SAM.gov SECURITY CLEARANCE A security pre-clearance must be performed for any employee referred to IHS through the contract. Fingerprints must be completed and adjudicated prior to services being peformed under this contract if contractor is in contact with patients. Peformance of this contract will require routine access by employees of the Contractor or its subcontractors to facilities or systems controlled by the Indian Health Service (IHS). Before starting work requiring routine access to I.H.S. facilities or systems each person must complete a FBI National Criminal History Check (Fingerprint Check) Adjudicated by an I.H.S. employee using the Office of Personnel Management Personnel Investigations Processing System. Contractors shall allow five business days for I.H.S. processing of fingerprints taken electronically at at I.H.S. site and thirty business days for non-electronic processing of fingerprints using FBI Form FD-258. The Indian Health Service utilizes the eQIP (Electronic Questiionnaire Ivestigations Processing) system to process background investigations. Contractors are required to work with the Service Unit Background Coordinator or other designee to properly complete their EQIP entry without error. Proper submission of the eQIP entry to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is required prior to the individual being allowed to begin their performance under this contract. Computers have been provided to the service units for this purpose. In addition, no contractor or subcontractor employee shall be permitted to perform work under this contract if listed on the HHS Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individual Entities(LEIE). http://exclsions.oig.hhs.gov. As soon as practicable prior to the performance of work, the contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer the names of all individuals to be used in the performance of work for screening the LEIE. During the performance, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer the names of any additional or substitute employee for screening before they begin work. The Contractor is responsible for conducting security preclearance investigations in sufficient depth to ensure that each Contractor or subcontractor employee referred to I.H.S. is not on the LEIE and can obtain a favorable fingerprint clearance. Each security preclearance shall be conducted sufficently in advance of the start of performance to avoid delays caused by denail of access. If this is a Fixed Price contract, denial of access due to security clearance findings shall not be a basis for excusable delay or an increase to the contract amount. Government will pay for the cost to process contractor's suitability clearances. However, multiple investigations for the same position may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, lead to reduction(s) in the contract price of no more that the cost of the extra investigation(s).
