DCSA Background Investigation Fieldwork Services

The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency published Special Notice 3 to update contractors on the development of its requirement for background investigation fieldwork services. DCSA requires these services to conduct federal background investigations in accordance with Federal Investigative Standards for initial investigations, periodic reinvestigations, and investigations of continuous evaluation and vetting alerts.

The Special Notice provides an updated projected timeline for the acquisition, as the original projected timeline for solicitation and evaluation will experience delay. DCSA expects to provide a revised timeline soon. Interested parties should monitor the Governmentwide Point of Entry at beta.sam.gov and GSA eBuy for release of the draft and final solicitations when available. According to the updated timeline, evaluation of offers, source selection, and contract award are now projected for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, with commencement of performance also in fiscal year 2022.
