3. The minimum Government investigation for a non-critical sensitive position is a National Agency Check and Inquiries (with fingerprinting), which consists of searches of records covering specific areas of a person's background during the past five years. Those inquiries are sent to current and past employers, schools attended, references, and local law enforcement authorities. More restricted positions, above non-sensitive, require more extensive documentation and investigation.

4. The Contractors should ensure that the employees whose names they submit have a reasonable chance for access approval. Delays associated with rejections and consequent reinvestigations may not be excusable.

5. The Government investigates personnel at no cost to the Contractor, but the expense of multiple investigations for the same position is difficult to justify. Consequently, multiple investigations for the same position may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, justify reduction(s) in the Contract price of no more than the cost of the extra investigation(s).

6. Language similar to this Security section shall be included in any Sub-Contracts which require Sub- Contractor personnel to have access to an information system, access to sensitive data, regular or prolonged access to an HHS-controlled facility, or any combination of these three.
