Investigative Services Buy Package #983789_03

The contract relates to the Indian Health Service's Investigative Services Buy Package #983789_03, initially posted in February 2020 as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside for investigative services under NAICS code 561611. However, as of January 23, 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of General Counsel clarified that while the IHS Reimagine EEO Plan and Blanket Purchase Agreement could use most previously advertised services, Investigations would be excluded. Crossroads Mediation Services remains the primary contractor for EEO Investigations across all HHS Operational Divisions, leading to the cancellation of Buy Package #983789_03 Investigative Services BPA. The cancellation is due to the adjustment in the scope of work, with plans to re-advertise the investigative services requirement at a later date. The contract was managed out of the Indian Health Service office in Rockville, Maryland, with Melani Hainesworth listed as the point of contact. This decision aligns with the agency’s intent to consolidate investigative responsibilities under a single contractor while maintaining access to other EEO-related services through the existing Blanket Purchase Agreement.
