Note to the Proposed Contractor:
OIG Exclusion List
SECURITY CLEARANCE
Performance 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
(1.H.S.). 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 an I.H.S. site and thirty
business days for non-electronic processing of fingerprints using FBI Form FD-258. A
list of I.H.S. sites with electronic fingerprint capability is available from the Contracting
Officer.
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 ofExcluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), http://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov As soon as
practicable prior to the start of work, the performance of the work the Contractor shall
provide to the Contracting Officer the names of all individuals to be used in
performance of work for screening against the LEIE. During the performance, the
Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer the names of any additional or
substitute employees 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 sufficiently in advance of the start of
performance to avoid delays caused by denial of access. If this is a Time and
Materials, Labor-Hour or Cost Reimbursement contract, the contractor shall not charge
for or be reimbursed for labor hours or other costs incurred for employees who are
unable to perform due to denial or access or the excess time required to resolve and
clear unfavorable security clearance findings. 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 the contractors suitability clearances.
However, multiple investigations for the same position may, at the Contracting Officers
discretion, lead to reduction(s) in the contract price of no more than the cost of the
extra investigation(s).
