ATTACHMENT I – OUTSOURCING NONCRIMINAL JUSTICE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS

The United States Department of State, 600 19th street NW, Washington, D.C., the Authorized Recipient, and [INSERT CONTRACTOR NAME AND ADDRESS], the Contractor, under the terms of which the Authorized Recipient is outsourcing the performance of noncriminal justice administrative functions involving the handling of criminal history record information (CHRI) pursuant to Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 906 and the Security and Management Control Outsourcing Standard (Outsourcing Standard)for Non-Channelers. The most current version of the Outsourcing Standard is incorporated by reference into this contract and appended hereto as Attachment.

The Authorized Recipient's authority to submit fingerprints for noncriminal justice purposes and obtain the results of the fingerprint search, which may contain CHRI, derives from its authority to administer the immigration laws of the United States and obtain information from other agencies that is relevant to the enforcement of those laws, including from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. §§ 1104, 1105, 1201.

The specific noncriminal justice administrative functions to be performed by the Contractor that involve access to CHRI on behalf of the Authorized Recipient are to assist with screening of visa applicants by reviewing derogatory information and reviewing such information with the responsible agency, and also to assist with file management and information technology services.

[INSERT CONTRACTOR] will comply with the Outsourcing Standard requirements, to include the CJIS Security Policy, and other legal authorities to ensure adequate privacy and security of personally identifiable information (PII) and criminal history record check results related to this contract, and will ensure that all such data is returned to the Authorized Recipient as soon as no longer needed for the performance of contractual duties.
