DCSA is responsible for conducting the majority of Background Investigations (BI) for the Federal Government to support suitability, national security clearances, and regulatory investigations. BIs are required to determine an individual’s eligibility for access to classified information, assignment to or retention in positions with sensitive duties, or other designated duties requiring such investigations. As part of the investigative process, DCSA requires education and degree verifications for subjects of DCSA investigations. This information is vital to the mission of DCSA in the performance of personnel vetting and conducting BI’s for the departments and agencies of the Federal Government.
DCSA is seeking information from potential vendors who are capable of providing education verifications for all participating postsecondary educational institutions, claimed within the available jurisdictions, which appropriately safeguards the confidentiality of data exchanged.
