Procurement and Solicitations
Invite us to your solicitation. GCheck competes for background screening, drug and health screening, fingerprinting and I-9 verification work through formal procurement: RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, invitations to bid (ITB and IFB) and sources-sought notices at federal, state, local, tribal and education level, and corporate RFPs run by strategic sourcing. We respond to one-time awards, multi-year term contracts, on-call and as-needed agreements, and prequalified vendor lists.
GCheck, LLC is an FCRA-governed consumer reporting agency (CRA) providing employment background investigation and pre-employment background screening services to government agencies, public universities and school districts, healthcare organizations, staffing firms, and nonprofits. Services include county, state, and federal criminal history searches, SSN trace and address history, employment verification, education verification, professional license verification, OIG/GSA exclusion and global sanctions screening, sex offender registry searches, motor vehicle records (MVR), employment credit reports where legally permissible, drug and alcohol screening, and adverse action adjudication support. GCheck holds a SOC 2 Type II attestation and maintains a HIPAA compliance program, and operates under dedicated FCRA compliance leadership.
Municipal, county, state, tribal, K-12 and higher education buyers. Registered on SAM.gov and on state and regional eProcurement networks, classified under NAICS 561611, PSC R615, NIGP 961-30 and UNSPSC 80111702. VPAT and Section 508 conformance, W-9 and certificates of insurance returned with any bid.
What drives screening here. State education codes set fingerprint-based criminal history requirements for school employees and for contractors with pupil contact, and those submissions run through the state agency rather than a consumer reporting agency. Everything around them, county and statewide criminal history, SSN trace and address history, sex offender registry, employment and education verification, and the FCRA adverse action sequence with its jurisdiction-specific timing, is the CRA’s work.
Integrated with the systems public employers actually run, including NEOGOV, Frontline (formerly AppliTrack), Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, UKG and ADP.
Staff, volunteers, subrecipient personnel and country-office teams. Exclusion and debarment verification against SAM.gov, nationwide sex offender registry, state criminal history, child abuse and neglect registry coordination, fingerprint scheduling where a program requires it, and FCRA adverse action handling. For cross-border programs: global criminal and adverse-records searches, international education and employment verification, sanctions and watchlist screening, and country-specific consent collection. Coverage and turnaround vary by country; name the countries in your solicitation and we will confirm both before the bid is due.
What drives screening here. Federal funding conditions, and they are more specific than they are usually assumed to be. The Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR Part 200 does not require criminal background checks on all grant-funded staff. What it requires is exclusion and suspension and debarment verification against SAM.gov before a subaward or contract, which is a name-based check and the one obligation that reaches almost every federal subrecipient. Criminal screening mandates ride on top of it through individual program statutes. AmeriCorps, under 42 USC 12645g and 45 CFR 2540.200 through 2540.207, requires a nationwide sex offender registry check, a state criminal history repository check covering both the state of residence and the state of service, and a fingerprint-based FBI check. Head Start, under 45 CFR 1302.90(b), requires a fingerprint check and a sex offender registry check before hire, and the second fingerprint check plus a state child abuse and neglect registry check within 90 days, covering contractors and volunteers as well as staff. The Child Care and Development Block Grant, at 42 USC 9858f, adds interstate checks across every state of residence in the prior five years and re-screening at least every five years. Where a statute requires the fingerprint submission to run through a state repository or an approved channeler, GCheck schedules the appointment and coordinates submission through an FBI-approved channeler, and performs every name-based component around it, including the adverse action sequence.
Cross-border programs. Sanctions screening against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list and the consolidated international lists is a condition of most federal grants and of many institutional funders. Outside the United States, what may lawfully be collected and how consent must be obtained differ by country, so both are handled at collection rather than corrected afterward.
Hospitals, health systems and medical groups, alongside behavioral health, home health and post-acute providers. Primary source verification of licensure, education, training and board certification, DEA registration verification, nursing licensure and professional license verification with continuous post-hire monitoring, FACIS Levels 1 to 3, and OIG and GSA exclusion screening. Employment screening for the non-clinical workforce runs on the same contract. HIPAA compliance program in place, template BAA available.
What drives screening here. The OIG requires that employees and contractors be screened against the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities and recommends monthly rechecks because the LEIE is updated monthly. CMS separately requires state Medicaid agencies to check the LEIE and SAM no less than monthly under 42 CFR 455.436, a duty the agencies extend to Medicaid managed care organizations through them contracts under 42 CFR 438.602 and 438.608. Medicare Advantage plans and Part D sponsors face a parallel monthly screening obligation under separate Medicare program-integrity rules. Exclusions also appear on state Medicaid exclusion lists maintained separately by most states, so a single federal check is not sufficient. FACIS Levels 1 to 3 aggregate those sources, and continuous monitoring catches an exclusion that lands between hire and the next manual review.
Accreditation drivers for hospitals and health systems. Joint Commission, NCQA, URAC, DNV, CIHQ and AAAHC standards require primary source verification of licensure, education, training, DEA registration and board certification directly from the issuing authority. A third-party database does not satisfy primary source verification unless it has been validated as a primary source equivalent. Under the Health Care Quality Improvement Act and 45 CFR 60.17, the National Practitioner Data Bank must be queried at appointment and at least every two years for licensed practitioners holding privileges. CMS Conditions of Participation at 42 CFR Part 482 require credentialing and privileging but do not themselves impose a criminal background check mandate on hospital staff; that requirement comes from state law and varies accordingly.
Volunteer and seasonal staff screening. Criminal history across all available jurisdictions and sex offender registry searches are included in every package, with biometric identity verification available as an add-on. Social media screening available when a solicitation scopes it, with protected-class information redacted before review. No minimums and no setup fees.
What drives screening here. The National Child Protection Act and the Volunteers for Children Act authorize youth-serving organizations to obtain nationwide criminal history checks on volunteers, and the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 extends screening and reporting duties to amateur sports organizations. Registry searches run across all available jurisdictions rather than a single national index, because state registries vary in what they publish and how often they update.
Transportation, construction, manufacturing and financial services. DOT and non-DOT drug panels, DOT physicals scheduled with certified medical examiners, random selection administration, DOT previous employer safety performance history under 49 CFR 391.23, MVR and CDL reports with continuous monitoring, and Form I-9 with E-Verify integration.
What drives screening here. Motor carriers must query the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse before hiring a CDL driver and at least annually thereafter, and DOT testing follows 49 CFR Part 40. Non-DOT programs follow employer policy and state law, which diverge sharply on marijuana and on random selection, so one national policy rarely survives contact with a multi-state workforce.

Sent on request, no agreement required
Yes. GCheck responds to RFPs, RFQs, RFIs and sources-sought notices from federal, state, local, tribal and education buyers, and to corporate RFPs run by strategic sourcing. It is a registered supplier on SAM.gov and on the major state and local eProcurement networks.
GCheck, LLC’s Unique Entity ID is MLYZUSUYRJN9 and its CAGE code is 16AR4. Its primary NAICS code is 561611, Investigation and Personal Background Check Services.
GCheck is an FCRA-governed Consumer Reporting Agency with FCRA Advanced Certified leadership at CEO and Chief Compliance Officer level and built-in adverse action workflows.
Yes, on the same terms: the same documents, response times and named contacts. Formal procurement run by a strategic sourcing or vendor management team is handled through the same solicitation desk as a public bid.
Yes. GCheck completes security questionnaires on your own template rather than answering by referral to a portal, and provides its data security and retention policy, subprocessor list, and business continuity and incident response documentation on request.
Yes. GCheck responds to RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, invitations to bid (ITB and IFB) and sources-sought notices, and will bid one-time awards, multi-year term contracts, on-call and as-needed agreements, and prequalified or prequalified-vendor-list solicitations. Where a solicitation is split into severable lots, GCheck bids only the lots it performs itself and says which those are.
The same scope appears under several titles. The most common are pre-employment screening services, background investigation services, criminal history record check services, employment background screening services, and background investigation and drug testing services.
Email [email protected] with the name of the eProcurement system or supplier portal you post on. GCheck holds active supplier registrations across federal, state and regional networks and will return the existing vendor number or complete a new registration the same day. A W-9 and a certificate of insurance are sent on request without an agreement, and GCheck can be added directly on SAM.gov using UEI MLYZUSUYRJN9.
Yes. GCheck provides FCRA-compliant social media screening that reviews publicly available content against defined risk categories rather than leaving the assessment to reviewer discretion, and redacts protected-class information, including race, religion, national origin, disability, age, gender and sexual orientation, before the report reaches the employer. Adverse media and negative news search are available alongside it. Social media screening is a consumer report under the FCRA, so disclosure, authorization and adverse action requirements apply in the same way they do to a criminal history search.
Yes, as a coordinated service. GCheck schedules Live Scan appointments and manages the workflow around them, and the fingerprint submission itself is made through an FBI-approved channeler rather than by GCheck, which is not a channeler. Where a state agency or licensing board requires the submission to be made directly to it, that route is used instead. Name-based county, statewide, federal and multijurisdictional searches, registry checks and the FCRA adverse action sequence are performed by GCheck directly.
Yes. GCheck is a registered E-Verify Employer Agent and processes Form I-9 with E-Verify integration on behalf of employers, including federal contractors subject to the E-Verify clause.
Not as a general rule. The Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR Part 200 does not impose a criminal background check mandate on everyone paid from federal funds. What it requires is verification that a party is not excluded or debarred, checked against SAM.gov before a subaward or contract is made. Criminal screening mandates come from individual program statutes layered on top, such as AmeriCorps, Head Start, the Child Care and Development Block Grant and Title IV-E child welfare, each with its own scope and method. A grant-funded organization should identify which program statute applies before writing a screening scope, because the answer determines whether a name-based consumer report satisfies the requirement or a fingerprint submission is mandatory.
The National Service Criminal History Check under 42 USC 12645g and 45 CFR 2540.200 through 2540.207 has three components: a nationwide sex offender registry check through NSOPW, a state criminal history repository check covering both the member’s state of residence and the state of service, and a fingerprint-based FBI check. It applies to members and to staff in covered positions at recipients and subrecipients, and it is repeated for new service terms. Heightened requirements apply where there is recurring access to vulnerable populations. GCheck performs the name-based components and manages consent, disclosure and adverse action; the FBI fingerprint component runs through the state repository or an approved vendor.
Under 45 CFR 1302.90(b), a fingerprint-based criminal history check, either state or tribal or FBI, plus a sex offender registry check must be completed before hire, and the remaining fingerprint check plus a state child abuse and neglect registry check must be completed within 90 days. Both the state and the FBI fingerprint checks are ultimately required. The requirement reaches transportation staff, contractors and, per Office of Head Start guidance, volunteers. GCheck schedules the fingerprint appointments and coordinates submission through an FBI-approved channeler, performs the registry and name-based components, and handles the FCRA adverse action sequence.
The Child Care and Development Block Grant Act at 42 USC 9858f requires five components for all staff of licensed, regulated or registered providers: a state criminal and sex offender registry check, a state child abuse and neglect registry check, a National Crime Information Center search, an FBI fingerprint check, and a National Sex Offender Registry search. The first two run against the state of residence and every state of residence over the prior five years. Re-screening is required at least every five years, and FBI Rap Back enrollment satisfies the FBI portion of that cycle. The NCIC search and the FBI fingerprint check run through the state’s criminal justice channel, a State Identification Bureau or agency-designated repository, because NCIC access is restricted to criminal justice agencies. A name-based private-sector report alone does not satisfy the statute.
Requirements are set by state education code and vary by state. Most require fingerprint-based criminal history for employees and for contractors with pupil contact, which is submitted through the state agency rather than through a consumer reporting agency. Around that, districts typically require county and statewide criminal history, SSN trace and address history, sex offender registry, and employment and education verification, all of which GCheck provides under the FCRA.
Two parallel tracks. For licensed practitioners, accreditation standards from the Joint Commission, NCQA, URAC, DNV, CIHQ and AAAHC require primary source verification of licensure, education, training, DEA registration and board certification directly from the issuing authority, and the National Practitioner Data Bank must be queried at appointment and at least every two years under the Health Care Quality Improvement Act and 45 CFR 60.17. For the wider workforce, exclusion screening against the OIG List of Excluded Individuals and Entities, SAM and state Medicaid exclusion lists applies to anyone furnishing items or services payable by a federal health care program. CMS Conditions of Participation at 42 CFR Part 482 require credentialing and privileging but do not impose a criminal background check mandate on hospital staff; that comes from state law. GCheck performs the verification, licensure monitoring and exclusion screening; privileging decisions remain with the organization’s medical staff office.
The OIG requires screening of employees and contractors against the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities and recommends monthly rechecks. Exclusions also appear on SAM.gov and on state Medicaid exclusion lists maintained separately by most states, so a federal check alone leaves gap. GCheck screens FACIS Levels 1 to 3, which aggregate those sources, with continuous post-hire monitoring.
The National Child Protection Act and the Volunteers for Children Act authorize youth-serving organizations to obtain nationwide criminal history checks on volunteers, and the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 extends screening and reporting duties to amateur sports organizations. GCheck includes criminal history across all available jurisdictions and sex offender registry searches in every volunteer package, with no minimums and no setup fees.
Sanctions screening against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list and the consolidated international lists is a condition of most federal grants and many institutional funders. Outside the United States, what may lawfully be collected and how consent must be obtained differ by country, so both are handled at collection rather than corrected afterward. GCheck provides global criminal and adverse-records searches, international education and employment verification, and country-specific consent collection.
Yes, for an employer’s own DOT and non-DOT pools. GCheck administers the random selection cycle, notifies the employer of selections, and coordinates collections through a national site network.
Yes. DOT physical examinations are scheduled with certified medical examiners listed on the FMCSA National Registry, and results are returned alongside the rest of the file. GCheck coordinates the examination and is not itself the medical provider, so a solicitation requiring licensed providers at a named facility or within a stated distance of your site is outside what GCheck performs directly.
Motor carriers must run a full query of the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse before a driver performs safety-sensitive functions, and at least a limited query annually thereafter. DOT testing follows 49 CFR Part 40. GCheck provides DOT and non-DOT panels, random program management, and MVR and CDL reports with continuous monitoring.
Yes. GCheck serves municipal and tribal government agencies in multiple states, and responds to solicitations from federal, state, local, tribal and education buyers nationwide.
Yes. GCheck provides global background screening for multi-country workforces, including country-specific consent collection. Coverage and turnaround vary by country and are confirmed against the countries named in your solicitation before the bid is due.
Yes. DOT and non-DOT drug panels, collection site scheduling, clinical coordination and random program management, plus Form I-9 processing with E-Verify integration.
Turnaround depends on the search types and jurisdictions in scope, and averages 12 to 24 hours. Every report goes through human quality-assurance review before release, rather than an automated release process. Specific timing is confirmed as part of the solicitation response.
