RECOVERY- Security Clearance Services for the Region 5 Security and Emergency Management Branch

This contract opportunity is specifically for an existing 8(a) contractor currently holding the Administrative Support Contract with the GSA Great Lakes Regional Office. It aims to augment the administrative capabilities of the Region 5 Security and Emergency Management Branch in response to increased workloads funded by the American Reinvestment Recovery Act of 2009. The government intends to add these services as a modification to the current local 8(a) contract. Key tasks include receiving, reviewing, and processing contractor information sheets and questionnaires for Public Trust Positions, handling ARRA contractor worksheets and fingerprint charts, inputting applicant data into the regional database, and tracking progress through the extensive clearance process managed via the e-Quip system. The contract is a fixed-price, negotiated procurement under the NAICS code 561110, handled by the Pbs R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration, based in Chicago, Illinois. The work will be performed in Chicago, IL, with the Procurement Analyst Patricia Britten as the primary contact. This action supports fulfilling requirements outlined under Section 1609(b) of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, ensuring the GSA’s enhanced security and emergency management operations have the necessary administrative support to manage the increased volume of clearance and contractor processing activities.
