Fingerprinting and security clearances #92

Open iamjolly opened 4 years ago

iamjolly commented 4 years ago

Question:

Section 5.2 of the RFQ states, “All Contractor personnel working under the resulting contract will need to obtain a Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) low risk security clearance (or moderate risk security clearance if handling PII).” Given the current pandemic, it may take longer than usual for personnel to perform the fingerprinting and testing this clearance requires. Does the Government have a plan in place for obtaining clearances under social distancing guidelines? Alternatively, will the Government consider allowing personnel to work on this contract before obtaining clearance, provided they are able to obtain clearance as soon as the means are available?

Answer:

Due to COVID 19, if contractors are unable to get fingerprints (digital or at police station), this requirement will be waived until restrictions have been lifted. Once lifted, fingerprints will need to be obtained.
