    The document is an addendum to the Declaration for Federal Employment (OF 306), specifically addressing Indian Health Service positions related to child care and Indian child care worker roles. It outlines applicant screening requirements mandated by federal law to ensure the safety of children under the age of 18. Key provisions include the necessity for applicants to disclose any arrests or charges related to crimes against children, as per the Crime Control Act of 1990, and to undergo a thorough criminal history background check. The Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act further stipulates that individuals with regular contact with Indian children must meet specific character standards, confirmed through background checks. The document includes two critical yes/no questions regarding the applicant's criminal history related to children and other violent crimes, requiring detailed explanations for any affirmative responses. It emphasizes the serious legal implications of providing inaccurate information. Overall, this addendum serves to enhance the safety protocols within child care services in the Indian Health Service by mandating rigorous background checks and criminal history disclosures for applicants, ensuring compliance with federal safety regulations.
    IHS IEE Representation Form_Jan 2022_508 Compliant.pdf
    The document outlines the requirements under the Buy Indian Act for entities wishing to respond to federal solicitations as "Indian Economic Enterprises." It mandates that offerors self-certify their status as such at various stages: when submitting an offer, at contract award, and throughout contract performance. Offerors must provide immediate notification to the Contracting Officer if they no longer meet eligibility criteria. Additionally, successful applicants must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM). Any misrepresentation during this process is considered a legal violation and may lead to criminal penalties. The form requires the acknowledgment of ownership (51% or more) by an Indian entity and includes spaces for necessary details like the owner’s name, signature, and DUNS number. This process is integral for maintaining compliance and promoting economic opportunities for Indian-owned businesses within federal contracting through strict adherence to eligibility criteria and self-reporting obligations.
    Past Performance Survey Form.pdf
    The document is a Past Performance Survey from the Indian Health Service under the Department of Health and Human Services. It is designed to gather evaluation data on contractors regarding their historical performance on government contracts. The survey includes sections for client information, specific performance descriptions, and a detailed rating system that assesses quality of service, cost control, timeliness of performance, business relations, and customer satisfaction. Each category requires ratings from excellent to unacceptable based on objective performance indicators. The survey aims to compile a comprehensive evaluation of a contractor's capability to fulfill contract requirements, including aspects like compliance, report accuracy, personnel effectiveness, cost efficiency, and customer relations. This information is critical for making informed decisions on contractor selection in future government RFPs and grants, ensuring that only contractors with proven track records and reliable performance are chosen for projects.
