E-Verify and Employment Eligibility Compliance (Administrative Flow-Down)

The contract requires full compliance with the E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of all personnel assigned to work under this agreement, with exceptions made only for individuals who hold valid U.S. Government security clearances or HSPD-12 credentials. All subcontractors and workforce members must be authenticated through E-Verify, ensuring adherence to federal employment verification standards. This requirement is mandatory and flows down to all tiers of subcontractor involvement, making it a critical administrative obligation for any entity seeking to perform work under this agreement. This is a subcontract under the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically managed by the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services, with a NAICS code of 561320 indicating classification within business support services. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026, with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, indicating a tight turnaround for bidder submissions. There is no set-aside designation specified, and performance location details are not provided, but compliance with E-Verify obligations must be maintained throughout the entire duration of the contract regardless of where work is conducted. Failure to implement and maintain E-Verify usage for covered personnel constitutes a material breach of contract terms.
