L. 101-647), the Crime Control Act of 1990, as amended; and 441 Departmental Manual, Personnel Security and Suitability Requirements, all positions with duties and responsibilities involving regular contact with or control over Indian children are subject to a background investigation and determination of suitability for employment.

Accordingly, all such positions require a favorable background screening by the Bureau of Indian Education http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief

(BIE), Personnel Security and Suitability Program and a favorable background investigation by the Defense Counterintelligence Service Agency (DCSA).

Additionally, the individual and/or the company who proposed to employ this individual may be determined to be non- responsible if an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made and may be deemed ineligible for contract award. If an unfavorable final background investigation determination is made, the contract may be terminated and the employee in question shall not be authorized to provide service to the BIA/BIE if the services involve contact with or regular control over Indian children.

The Contracting Officer will consult with the COR when questions arise as to whether or not the scope of work of a contract requires background investigations for contractor personnel. If the Contracting Officer or COR believes the scope of work performed by contract personnel should not require a background investigation, the Personnel Security Officer will be contacted for concurrence and has the final authority to determine if background investigation(s) are required.
