If, during the performance period of the contract the

Contractor changes insurance providers, the Contractor must provide evidence that the Government will be indemnified to the limits specified in paragraph (a) of this clause, for the entire period of the contract, either under the new policy, or a combination of old and new policies.

(f)The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (f), in all subcontracts under this contract for health care services and shall require such subcontractors to provide evidence of and maintain insurance in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause.

MANUAL PART 3, CHAPTER 20, PROTECTING

CHILDREN FROM SEXUAL ABUSE BY

HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS

JUL 2021

Indian Health Manual Part 3, Chapter 20 establishes policy for Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse by Health Care

Providers. All Indian Health Service contractors must complete a government-provided, training module associated with this policy as an integral part of the onboarding process, but no more than 30 days from the date of onboarding.

NAIHS-ACQ-08 CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE NOV 2025

(a) Definition. “Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)” means an individual, including a contracting officer’s technical representative (COTR), designated and authorized in writing by the contracting officer to perform specific technical or administrative functions.

(b) Per FAR Subpart 1.404(a): The Contracting Officer (CO) determines that this contract requires a Contracting

Officer Representative (COR).The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) is:

COR: TBD at time of award.

(c) Upon award, the COR will receive a copy of the written designation, specifying the extent of the COR’s authority on behalf of the CO.

(d) Limitations.

(1) The COR has no authority to make any commitments or changes that affect price, quality, quantity, delivery, or other terms and conditions of the contract.

(2) The COR must not direct the contractor or its subcontractors to operate in conflict with the contract terms and conditions.

NAIHS-ACQ-09 UNAUTHORIZED COMMITMENTS NOV 2025

(a) Definitions.

Contracting Officer means a person with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determination and findings.

Ratification means the act of approving an unauthorized commitment by an official who has the authority to do so.

Unauthorized Commitment (UAC) means an agreement that is not binding solely because the Government representative who made it lacked the authority to enter into that agreement on behalf of the Government.

(b) Policy.

The Government is not bound by agreements with, or contractual commitments made to, prospective contractors by individuals who do not have delegated contracting authority. Unauthorized commitments do not follow the appropriate process for the expenditure of Government funds. Consequently, the Government may not be able to ratify certain actions, putting a contractor at risk for taking direction from a Federal official other than the contracting officer (see FAR 1.403-2). Government employees responsible for unauthorized commitments are subject to disciplinary action. Contractors perform at their own risk when accepting direction from unauthorized officials. Failure to follow statutory and regulatory processes for the expenditure of Government funds is a very serious matter.

(c) Procedure.

Any agreement, modification, or change to a contractual agreement made by a government personnel who lack authority will be deemed an unauthorized commitment. The Government is not liable to the Contractor or under the terms of the contract, financially or otherwise – unless the unauthorized commitment successfully passes the ratification process.

The ratification process does not have any lead time, nor does the Government make any promise that an unauthorized commitment will be ratified and, therefore, the Contractor would be paid. The Contractor proceeds at its own risk if any of the terms of the contract are altered, changed, or modified without the written concurrence by a Contracting Officer.

NAIHS-ACQ-10 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT NOV 2025

(a) Policy. Past performance evaluations shall be prepared at least annually and at the time the work under a contract or order is completed.

(c) Schedule/timeliness.

(d) Management or business relations.

(e) Small business subcontracting, including reduced or untimely payments to small business subcontractors when FAR 19.702(a) requires a subcontracting plan.

NAIHS-ACQ-11

CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL SECURITY AND

ACCESS

MAY 2025

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause— http://www.cpars.gov/

Agency access means access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources.

Applicant means a contractor employee for whom the Contractor applies for a NAIHS identification card.

Contractor employee means a prime contractor and subcontractor employee who requires agency access to perform work under a NAIHS contract.

Identification card (or “ID card”) means a government issued or accepted identification card such as a

Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card.

Issuing office means the NAIHS entity that issues identification cards to contractor employees.

Local security servicing organization means the NAIHS entity that provides security services to the NAIHS organization sponsoring the contract.

(b) Risk and sensitivity level designations. For contracts requiring access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources, contractor employees will be required to complete background investigations, identity proofing, and government identification card application procedures to determine suitability for access. NAIHS will assign a risk and sensitivity level designation to the overall contract and/or to contractor employee positions by category, group or individual. The risk and sensitivity level designations will be the basis for determining the level of personnel security processing required for contractor employees. The following risk and sensitivity level designations and associated level of processing are required, and each level includes the prior levels—

(1) Tier 1 Non-Sensitive, Low risk level: National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI);

(2) Tier 2 Non-Sensitive (Public Trust), Moderate risk level: Minimum Background Investigation (MBI);

and

(3) Tier 4 Non-Sensitive (Public Trust), High risk level: Background Investigation.

(c) Pre-screening of contractor employees. The Contractor must pre-screen individuals designated for employment under any NAIHS contract by verifying minimal suitability requirements to ensure that only candidates that appear to meet such requirements are considered for contract employment, and to mitigate the burden on the Government of conducting background investigations on objectionable applicants. The Contractor must exercise due diligence in pre-screening all employees prior to submission to NAIHS for agency access. NAIHS may decline to grant agency access to a contractor employee for reasons including, but not limited to the following activities under 5 CFR 731, P.L. 101-

630, and P.L. 101-647—

(1) Conviction of a felony, a crime of violence, or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;

(2) Falsification of information entered on forms or of other documents submitted;

(3) Improper conduct including criminal, infamous, dishonest, immoral, or notoriously disgraceful conduct or other conduct adverse to the Government regardless of whether the conduct is directly related to the contract; and

(4) Any behavior judged to pose a potential threat to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other resources.

(d) Citizenship status. The Contractor must monitor a non-citizen's continued authorization for employment in the

United States. The Contractor must provide documentation to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's

Representative (COR) during the background investigation process that validates that the E-Verify requirement has been met for each contractor employee. If applicable, refer to the incorporated clause at 52.222-54 Employment

Eligibility Verification.

(e) Background investigation and adjudication. A contractor employee must have a suitable pre-employment adjudication of background investigation before NAIHS will issue an ID card to the contractor employee granting access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources. NAIHS may accept favorable adjudications of background investigations from other Federal agencies when applicants have held PIV cards issued by those agencies with no break in service. A favorable adjudication does not preclude NAIHS from initiating a new investigation when deemed necessary. At a minimum, the FBI National Criminal History Check

(fingerprint check) must be favorably completed before a NAIHS identification card can be issued. Each Contractor must use the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) e-APP system to complete any required investigative forms.

Instructions for obtaining fingerprints will be provided by the COR or Contracting Officer. The NAIHS Personnel

Security Office is responsible for adjudicating the suitability of contractor employees.

(f) Agency access denied. Upon contract award, NAIHS will initiate the agency access procedure for all contractor employees requiring access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems and other NAIHS resources for contract performance. NAIHS may deny agency access to any individual about whom an adverse suitability determination is made. Failure to submit the required security information or to truthfully answer all questions shall constitute grounds for denial of access. The Contractor must not direct its employees to work under the contract until the COR or Contracting Officer provides notice of approval. Where a proposed contractor employee is denied agency access by the Government or, if for any reason a proposed application is withdrawn by the Contractor during the agency access process, the additional costs and administrative burden for conducting additional background investigations caused by a lack of effective prescreening or planning on the part of the Contractor may be considered as part of the Contractor's overall performance evaluation.

(g) Identification card application process. The Contracting Officer (CO) or COR will be the NAIHS ID card Sponsor and point of contact for the Contractor's application for a NAIHS ID card. The CO/COR shall review the NAIHS ID card request before sending the requested applicant’s information to Personnel Security Office. An applicant may be issued either a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card that meets the standards of Homeland Presidential Security

Directive (HSPD–12). The following applies—

(1) PIV card. The applicant must complete the e-App on-line application for a PIV card;

(2) The applicant must provide two forms of identity source documents in original form to NAIHS. The identity source documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form F–9, OMB

No. 1115–0136, Employment Eligibility Verification. At least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture identification. For a PIV card, the applicant may be required to appear in-person a second time for enrollment and activation.

(h) Identification card custody and control. The Contractor is responsible for the custody and control of all forms of government identification issued by NAIHS to contractor employees for access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems and other NAIHS resources. The Contractor shall:

(1) Provide a listing of personnel for whom an identification (ID) card is requested to the COR or PM who will provide a copy of the listing to the card issuing office. This may include Contractor and subcontractor personnel. Follow issuing office directions for submittal of an application package(s).

(2) While visiting or performing work on a NAIHS facility, as specified by the issuing office, PM or COR, ensure that contractor employees prominently display their ID card.

(3) Immediately notify the COR or, if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting Officer when a contractor employee's status changes and no longer requires agency access (e.g., employee's transfer, completion of a project, retirement, removal from work on the contract, or termination of employment) that may affect the employee's eligibility for access to the facility, sensitive information, or resources.

(4) Promptly deliver to the issuing office: (a) all ID cards assigned to an employee who no longer requires access to the facility; and (b) all expired ID cards within five (5) days of their expiration or all cards at time of contract termination, whichever occurs first.

(5) Immediately report any lost or stolen ID cards to the issuing office and follow its instructions.

(i) The Contractor is responsible for maintaining and safeguarding the NAIHS ID card upon issuance to the contractor employee. The Contractor must ensure that contractor employees comply with NAIHS requirements concerning the renewal, loss, theft, or damage of an ID card. The Contractor must immediately notify the COR or, if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting Officer when an ID card is lost, stolen or damaged.

(ii) Failure to comply with the requirements for custody and control of NAIHS ID cards may result in withholding final payment or contract termination based on the potential for serious harm caused by inappropriate access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources.

(iii) Specific actions and activities are required in certain events—

(A) Renewal. A contractor employee's NAIHS issued ID card is valid for a maximum of five years or until the contract expiration date (including option periods), whichever occurs first. The renewal process should begin six weeks before the PIV card expiration date. If a PIV card is not renewed before it expires, the contractor employee will be required to sign-in daily for facility access and may have limited access to information systems and other resources.

(B) Lost/stolen. Immediately upon detection, the Contractor or contractor employee must report a lost or stolen NAIHS ID card to the COR, or if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting Officer, the issuing office, or the local servicing security organization. The Contractor must submit an incident report within 48 hours, through the COR or, if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting Officer, the issuing office, or the local security servicing organization describing the circumstances of the loss or theft. The Contractor must also report a lost or stolen PIV card through the NAIHS on-line registration system. If the loss or theft is reported by the Contractor to the local police, a copy of the police report must be provided to the COR or Contracting Officer. From the date of notification to

NAIHS, the Contractor must wait three days before getting a replacement ID card. During the 3-day wait period, the contractor employee must sign in daily for facility access.

(C) Replacement. An ID card will be replaced if it is damaged, contains incorrect data, or is lost or stolen for more than 3 days, provided there is a continuing need for agency access to perform work under the contract.

(D) Surrender of ID cards. Upon notification that routine access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other NAIHS resources is no longer required, the Contractor must surrender the NAIHS issued ID card to the COR, or if the COR is unavailable, the Contracting

Officer, the issuing office, or the local security servicing organization in accordance with agency procedures.

(i) Flow down of clause. The Contractor is required to include this clause in any subcontracts at any tier that require the subcontractor or subcontractor's employees to have access to NAIHS facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other resources.

NAIHS-ACQ-18 COVERED ENTITIES AND BUSINESS

ASSOCIATES

APR 2025

The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information ("Privacy Rule") establishes, for the first time, a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information. The U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services ("HHS") issued the Privacy Rule to implement the requirement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA").1 The Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals' health information—called "protected health information" by organizations subject to the Privacy Rule — called

"covered entities," as well as standards for individuals' privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used. Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") has responsibility for implementing and enforcing the Privacy Rule with respect to voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties.

A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals' health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public's health and well being. The Rule strikes a balance that permits important uses of information, while protecting the privacy of people who seek care and healing. Given that the health care marketplace is diverse, the Rule is designed to be flexible and comprehensive to cover the variety of uses and disclosures that need to be addressed.

Individuals, organizations, and agencies that meet the definition of a covered entity under HIPAA Rules at 45 CFR

160.103 must comply with the Rules' requirements to protect the privacy and security of health information and must provide individuals with certain rights with respect to their health information.
