A national credit history will be provided. A completed Electronic Personnel Security Questionnaire (EPSQ) or customer specific security questionnaire must be provided including applicable releases and supporting documentation. Expansion of the investigation to resolve any criminal, financial, or other issues of concern is included in the basic case price.

Average number of leads expected on this case type is 7. If the average varies 25% or more over the entire task order, case prices will be adjusted accordingly. Pricing is based on a case completion requirement of 90 days from receipt of completed EPSQ or customer specific security questionnaire from the requesting agency.
