SECURITY CLEARANCE: A CNACI must be completed for all Indian Health Service (IHS) contract personnel.

The character and background investigations will be conducted by the Requesting Service Unit. Fingerprints must be taken as part of the pre-employment process and must be completed before contractors are allowed to work. This can be coordinated with the Requesting Service Unit.

COMPUTER SECURITY: Pursuant to the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), the contractor will be required to complete a course in Computer Security Awareness Training (CSAT). This training must be completed annually by all employees including all contractors, volunteers, students, and summer externs. The Contractor will be required to comply with the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) Number 201, "Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors" and the associated Office of Management and Budget (OMB) implementation guidance for personal identity verification for all affected contractor and subcontractor personnel.

Access/clearance to all pertinent computer systems, including completing the Security Checklist, Rules of Behavior form, Security training; and if necessary, a Business Associate Agreement and/or Business Partner Interconnection Security Agreement (BPISA), should be coordinated with the Service Unit.

7. NON-PERSONAL HEALTHCARE SERVICE CONTRACT

The Contractor shall indemnify the Government for any liability producing acts or omissions by the Contractor, its employees and agents occurring during contract performance. The Contractor shall maintain medical liability insurance, which is not less than the amount normally prevailing within the local community for the medical specialty concerned.
