For purposes of this paragraph, “substantial relation” means the crime for which the person has been convicted of involves conduct by the person that relates to functions the person may perform for Contractor or places the person in a position to gain access to a client, a client’s personal information, or client funds so as to place the person in a position to cause harm to a client.

b. The following requirements apply to all background checks performed regardless of method (Section a.(1)-(3) above) used:

(1) Background checks must be completed prior to performing services under this Contract or having access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds; when Contractor’s employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member changes positions with the Contractor and will be performing services under this Contract or will have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds; or if there is a reasonable basis to believe a new background check may be needed, to include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Any indication of possible criminal or abusive behavior by an employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member;

(b) A lapse in working or volunteering in a position under the direction and control of Contractor, but the individual is still considered in the position. For example, an extended period of leave by the individual due to sabbatical or military deployment;

(c) Discovery of incorrect processes or insufficient documentation for a previously conducted background check;

(d) Federal or state regulations require a new background check; or

(e) Contractor determines the need for a background check.

000000/initials Page 16 of 60 OHA PSK (reviewed by DOJ 1/3/2019) Updated: 12/16/2025

(2) Background checks must be completed whenever there is a break in employment, volunteering, subcontracting, ownership, management, or board membership greater than 30 days.

(3) Existing employees, volunteers, subcontractors, owners, managers, and board members who perform services under this Contract or have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds are not required to have a new background check conducted at the time of Contract extension by amendment, unless required by Section b.(1) above.

(4) Contractor shall require each of its employees, volunteers, subcontractors, owners, managers, and board members receiving background checks to report to Contractor any and all new arrests, convictions, or investigations for any child protective service or adult protective service case within five business days after the new arrest, conviction or investigation took place.

(a) Within five days of such notification, Contractor is required to report to the Agency Contract Administrator or delegate the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member’s new history.

(b) Agency may require a new background check to reevaluate the ongoing fitness of the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member.

(5) Contractor shall ensure all background checks and documentation are placed in the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member’s personnel file.

000000/initials Page 17 of 60 OHA PSK (reviewed by DOJ 1/3/2019) Updated: 12/16/2025

System (EPLS), the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), and the Social Security Administration (SSA) Death Masterfile. Any employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member of Contractor found excluded in the EPLS, NPPES, LEIE or the SSA Death Masterfile shall not be permitted to provide services under this Contract or have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds.

d. Contractor shall determine after receiving the criminal records and NSOPW check, whether its employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member has any of the convictions listed above or sex offender status, and whether these potentially disqualifying conditions pose a risk to providing services under this Contract or working safely with Agency-referred clients or having access to client information or client funds. If Contractor notes a conviction from any of the above listed crimes on the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member’s record, and Contractor chooses to hire the employee or allow the volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member to perform services under this Contract or have access to Agency-referred clients, client information or client funds, Contractor shall confirm with Agency in writing, the reasons for allowing the individual to perform services under this Contract or have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds. These reasons shall address how the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member is presently suitable or able to provide services under this Contract, or have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds in a safe and trustworthy manner. Contractor shall ensure this information, along with the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member’s background check, is in the individual’s personnel file.

Upon receiving such written notification from Contractor, Agency reserves the right to the final denial or approval of any Contractor employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member to provide services under this Contract or have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds. Unless Agency rejects the employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member to provide services under this Contract or

000000/initials Page 18 of 60 OHA PSK (reviewed by DOJ 1/3/2019) Updated: 12/16/2025 to have access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds under this Contract within seven business days from receiving such written notification from Contractor, the Contractor’s employee, volunteer, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member will be deemed approved by Agency.

e. Regardless of whether or not any employee, subcontractor, owner, manager, or board member of Contractor has access to Agency-referred clients, client information, or client funds, if Contractor discovers the individual is included on the list titled “Specially Designated Nationals” maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury and currently found at: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN- List/Pages/default.aspx, or is listed on the non-procurement portion of the General Service Administration’s “List of Parties Excluded from Federal procurement or Non-procurement Programs” currently found at: https://www.sam.gov/SAM Contractor shall notify the Agency Contract Administrator via e-mail within one business day of such discovery.
