About this opportunity
This Award Notice from the Corporation for National and Community Service awarded a single-source Blanket Purchase Agreement to Truescreen Inc. to provide FBI channeling services, state and national criminal background checks, and adjudication recommendations for AmeriCorps grant recipients. These background check services will allow hundreds of AmeriCorps grant recipients to complete required checks on thousands of individuals in a timely manner. The awarded contract number is 95332A24A00001 and was awarded for $0 on January 10, 2024 to ensure continuity of critical background check services for AmeriCorps programs.
Notice text
The contract action was awarded as a sole source action for Truescreen Inc. This single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is for the Contractor to provide FBI Channeling and Non-Channeling activities for AmeriCorps grant recipients, including facilitating FBI fingerprint-based checks, obtaining state Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) and nationwide sex offender registry records (NSOPW), and providing adjudication recommendations.
Only a small number of companies can provide the FBI channeling services. A current list is available at: https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/compact-council/list-of-approved-channelers. Market Research demonstrated:
- Only four or five of the 24 approved FBI channelers may also be able to provide the NSOPW and state checks.
- Meets need for network of fingerprinting sites, with access to 1,900 locations through its sister company, Fieldprint, which meets AmeriCorps current service level.
- Can implement system changes at no additional, direct cost, as grant recipients pay the cost of all services when they order checks.
- Continuity of services: This will produce a seamless transition for both the Agency and its grant recipients and ensure there is no lapse in services for grant recipients. A lapse in service would jeopardize the ability of hundreds of grant recipient to complete checks on time, which corresponds to thousands of individuals experiencing a possible delay in starting their work or service on an AmeriCorps project.
- Reduced cost to create new guidance materials and retrain grant recipients, including minimal disruption to grant recipients: AmeriCorps and Truescreen have created numerous written materials and recordings to instruct grant recipients how to use the system. A sample of this guidance is viewable to the public at https://americorps.gov/grantees-sponsors/history-check. Other materials, including training records and user guides, are stored on the Agency’s private e-learning platform.
Awarded contract 95332A24A00001 to TRUESCREEN INC for 0.00 on 2024-01-10.
