BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION: The selected contractor must receive security clearance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs/Education. In accordance with Multiple Federal Laws and regulations pertains specifically to background checks. The Victims of Child Abuse Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 13041, requires Federal agencies and facilities under contract to complete a criminal history background check. The Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act, 25 U.S.C. § 3207, also requires that individuals who work and volunteer with Indian children undergo an investigation of their character. BIAs criteria and procedures for making determinations of suitability based on the individual character or conduct are found in 25 C.F.R. part 63 and in the Bureau of Indian Affairs Manual (BIAM) at part 62.3 OPMs role for Federal employees is set forth at 5 C.F.R. part 731. Child safety at Indian education facilities continues to be at risk from employees, contractors, and volunteers who have not undergone full background checks. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION In accordance with 25 U.S.C. 3201 (P.L. 101-630), Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act; 42 U.S.C. 13041, Crime Control Act of 1990; 441 Departmental Manual, Personnel Security and Suitability Requirements all positions with duties and responsibilities involving regular contact with or control over Indian children are subject to a background investigation and determination of suitability for employment. Accordingly, all such positions require a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP), Personnel Security and Suitability Program; and a favorable background investigation determination conducted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). A favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination must be made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of the Indian Education Programs (OIEP), Personnel Security and Suitability Program prior to contract award or made within 60 days of incorporation of this clause into a current/existing contract. Pending completion of a background investigation by OPM, the Contractor who has been granted a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination must be within the sight and under the supervision of a Government employee who has had a completed background investigation (42 U.S.C 13041 (3)) during contract performance until a final background investigation determination has been made. Prior employment with the Federal Government, including BIA, OIEP or the Bureau of Indian Affairs, does not assure that the appropriate screening or investigation was conducted nor does it alleviate or guarantee a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination or background investigation. Prior to an award or during the 60 day period discussed in paragraph two, it is solely the company, individual or contractors responsibility to contact the BIE, School Human Resources Personnel in order to obtain a complete security package, which includes but is not limited to appropriate investigative forms and/or inquire about their previous investigation; and, obtain a screening (applicant and suitability) determination, and subsequent final background investigation. If an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made, a purchase order shall not be awarded to the individual who received an unfavorable screening or to the company who has proposed to employ the individual to perform the work. The individual and or the company who proposed to employ this individual may be determined to be non-responsible if an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determinations is made, which will make them ineligible for purchase order award. If an unfavorable final background investigation determination is made, the purchase order may be terminated and the employee in question shall not be authorized to provide service to the BIA, OIEP, if the services involve contact with or regular control over Indian children.
