Position Sensitivity - The position sensitivity has been designated as low risk. Background Investigation - The level of background investigation commensurate with the required level of access is National Agency Check with Written Inquiries. Agency Responsibilities: The Contracting Officer will initiate the Background Investigation request into the Security and Investigations Center (SIC). Vendor Responsibilities: NO AWARD The Contractor has two key responsibilities: getting all employees who will work in a VA facility electronically fingerprinted at a local VA hospital or police station and having those same employees fill out the E-QIP questionnaire that will be emailed to them once the contracting officer initiates the investigation. When the request is submitted the Contractor Request Database will generate an "initial" email with the website link and instructions to all email addresses listed on the request worksheet. This email will indicate what level of investigation was requested and how to complete the process. This is not considered an initiated investigation at this point. A case is not initiated until we have received a complete security package from the contract employee and can forward that security package to OPM. e. Time Frames: Below is a breakdown by level of each investigation handled by the SIC. Times frames may vary due to OPM. Low Risk (NACI) The case is only open for 30 days except in rare occasions when something in the person's background requires an extension.
