On-Site Personnel Background Screening and Security Compliance

The contract requires the management of criminal background checks for all personnel who have contact with students, utilizing the Texas DPS FACT system and the Raptor security system to ensure full compliance with Texas Senate Bill 9. This includes verifying the criminal history of employees and contractors, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, and integrating screening results into the Raptor system to control access and monitor personnel within school environments. The process must be conducted rigorously to meet state mandates designed to protect students and ensure a safe educational setting. All screening activities must adhere to state regulations and procedural guidelines, with particular attention to data privacy, timeliness of updates, and system integration between the FACT and Raptor platforms. While the contracting entity is listed as the City of Columbus, Indiana, the scope of work explicitly ties to Texas law, suggesting services may be delivered to Texas-based educational institutions under contractual obligation. Performance is expected to meet strict compliance standards, with noncompliance potentially resulting in contractual penalties or termination. The solicitation was posted in June 2026 with a deadline for responses in the same month, indicating an urgent need for qualified vendors who can reliably execute these security and screening protocols.
