About this file
This is an Industry Questions and Answers document for solicitation HT001126QE014 issued by the Defense Health Agency (DHA).
The document clarifies key requirements for a fingerprint collection services contract. This is a recompete opportunity, with the incumbent contract HT001124P0017 held by Fieldprint, Inc. Offerors must provide both electronic (Live Scan) and physical (Hard Copy) fingerprints as a non-negotiable federal and defense agency requirement for medical provider security vetting, with submissions forwarded to DCSA for FBI background scans. The vetting protocols cover Comprehensive Criminal History, Mandatory Federal Compliance, State Child Abuse Registries for the past five years, National Security & Suitability, and Continuous Vetting. A Quality Control Plan (CDRL A001) must be submitted with the proposal response. Nationwide coverage may be achieved through a network of approved subcontractors, affiliate locations, or collection partners, with no approaches specifically excluded by the government. Mobile fingerprint collection services are not required, and experience with SWFT submissions, electronic fingerprint transmission, or mobile collection services will not be evaluated as technical factors. DHA does not anticipate future fingerprinting, biometric, or identity verification requirements suitable for regional providers, small businesses, or socioeconomic certified firms, including Virginia SWaM-certified businesses.

2 Under what circumstances does DHA expect the offeror to submit physical fingerprint cards (hard copy/ink cards)?

These submissions are forwarded to DCSA for an official FBI background scan. This dual-format submission is a non-negotiable federal and defense agency requirement.
The DoD/DoW implements these rigorous vetting protocols for civilian and contracted medical providers who work in military childcare or clinical roles with minors to ensure compliance and safety across five key areas: Comprehensive Criminal History, Mandatory Federal Compliance, State Child Abuse Registries in every state the provider has resided in over the past five years, National Security & Suitability, and Continuous Vetting.
