The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541710 with a corresponding qualifying size standard of employees (indicates maximum allowed for a concern, including its affiliates, to be considered small). The DOE/AL intends to award the following line items: The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has experienced significant costs in time delays in missions critical to the Administration and the Department of Energy attributable, in part, to the length of time now taken for access authorization requirements. In an effort to reduce the time element currently experienced in the process without introducing unacceptable national security risks, AL has researched the market for potential tools that could provide a rapid assessment of an individual?s trustworthiness, reliability, and responsibility relative to lifestyle, work history, behaviors, and counterproductive or illegal behaviors. Such a tool could be used in conjunction with elements of current investigative requirements to mitigate national security risks in granting interim access authorization while awaiting receipt of expedited special security background investigations. Computer Employment Applications, Inc., has developed a proprietary automated, interactive, computer-based interview DOS application containing interview modules that would, with some modification and module expansion, satisfy our DOE requirements for coverage of and individual?s life and history relative to the Questionnaire for National Security Positions and the criteria by which DOE determines eligibility for access authorization. The services required are the modification of the existing system and use of the proprietary system in a six-month pilot test mode on a limited NNSA population of access authorization applicants. The government will not except any cost proposal for the acquisition for this GSA purchase.
