Request for Quote to establish 5-year (12-month Base, 4 12-month Options) multiple-award Contract for single-agency use for Background Investigations for possible Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) candidates.

Added: Jan 17, 2018 3:01 pm The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a requirement for the performance of background investigations for Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) applicants. The SSA’s goal is to obtain multiple contractors under multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to conduct extensive background investigations on ALJ candidates within a 21 day timeframe using a secure system that SSA will access via a secure web portal. The objective of the secure web portal is for the Contractor to process and store Personal Identifiable Information (PII) data securely and for the Contractor and Government to send and receive required documentation for all ALJ candidates and minimize the risk of PII loss.

The period of performance shall be for one year, with four 1-year option periods, if exercised. It is anticipated that the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued on or about January 18, 2017. The selection decision will be based on overall best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered. The RFP will be issued under solicitation 28321318R00000025. The solicitation and any related documents will be made available to interested parties through electronic media for downloading via FEDCONNECT. No hard copies of the solicitation will be available.
