The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Blanket Purchase Agreement, for Commercial Psychological Evaluation Service.

PSNS & IMF employees assigned to perform national security duties are subject to investigation to determine whether they are and will remain reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and loyal to the United States and whether granting or continuing national security eligibility is clearly consistent with the nation’s interest. Personnel security determinations assess whether an individual can be trusted to protect national security. It is impossible to establish with certainty, based on an eligibility determination that human beings will continue to behave in ways to retain such trust. Continuous Evaluation (CE) is the periodic reviewing of the individual's background to determine whether they continue to meet the requirements for national security eligibility.
