AI Contract Overview
The County of Santa Clara is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide comprehensive pre-employment background check services and ongoing healthcare exclusion screenings for its employees, volunteers, vendors, and contractors. The background checks encompass various verifications such as Social Security Number validation, criminal and civil records, Department of Motor Vehicle history, education, professional licenses, and employment history. However, more extensive background investigations for law enforcement personnel, certain IT roles, and positions working with vulnerable populations are excluded from this scope, as those are handled internally by sworn officers. In addition to pre-employment screening, the vendor will conduct monthly healthcare exclusion screenings in compliance with federal and state regulations, specifically for individuals involved with the County’s workforce. The contract resulting from this RFP is expected to last three years, with an option for renewal for an additional two years, starting around November 1, 2025. The County aims to award a single contract to cover both services, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The solicitation was posted on February 4, 2025, with a response deadline of March 28, 2025. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing consistent, compliant background screening and exclusion screening services throughout the contract term, supporting the County’s efforts to ensure a safe and compliant workforce.
