About this file

This special notice from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency provides an updated projected timeline for the acquisition of background investigation fieldwork services. DCSA requires nationwide and potentially worldwide investigative fieldwork to conduct federal background investigations in accordance with Federal Investigative Standards, including initial investigations, periodic reinvestigations, and investigations of continuous evaluation and vetting alerts. The original projected timeline for solicitation and evaluation will experience delay, with DCSA expecting to provide a revised timeline soon. Interested parties should monitor the Governmentwide Point of Entry at beta.sam.gov and GSA eBuy for release of the draft and final solicitations. Evaluation of offers, source selection, and contract award are now projected for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, with commencement of performance also in fiscal year 2022.

DCSA Background Investigation Fieldwork Services – SN3: Projected Acquisition Timeline Update

PURPOSE OF SPECIAL NOTICE:

Special Notice 3 is issued by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) solely to update the contractor community on the development of its investigative fieldwork services requirement as described in HS0021‐20‐RFI‐Field. DCSA is not seeking proposals at this time. This Special Notice does not constitute a solicitation or commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. If a solicitation is released, it will be via the Governmentwide Point of Entry at https://beta.sam.gov or through an appropriate multi‐agency contract portal such as General Services Administration (GSA) eBuy at https://www.ebuy.gsa.gov/. It is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor these websites for subsequent information.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:

DCSA requires nationwide, and potentially worldwide, investigative fieldwork services in order to conduct Federal background investigations in accordance with the Federal Investigative Standards. This work currently includes completion of initial investigations, periodic reinvestigations and investigations of continuous evaluation and/or vetting alerts. Continuous vetting, which provides checks on an individual more frequently and aims to promote delivery of real‐time information, may replace periodic reinvestigations during the anticipated contract period of performance. Successful performance of these investigative fieldwork services for the Government is required without fail or risk to national security or other agency missions.

PROJECTED ACQUISITION TIMELINE:

This timeline is based on the Federal fiscal year (FY), beginning October 1 and ending September 30. This timeline is subject to change at the Government’s discretion.

UPDATE: DCSA anticipates that the original projected timeline for solicitation and evaluation will experience delay. We expect to provide a revised timeline soon. Thank you for your continued interest and patience.
