E Verify & Fire Contract

Do you know how E Verify is applied to IBPA Agreements for fire resources??

The E-Verify federal contractor rule will affect federal contractors who are awarded a new contract or solicitations issued on or after September 8, 2009, that include the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) E-Verify clause (73 FR 67704).
Qualifying federal contracts must contain the FAR E-Verify clause and may include:

• Contracts that were awarded on or after September 8, 2009
• Contracts that have a performance period of 120 days or more 
• Contracts with values exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000
• Contracts in which at least some portion of the work is performed in the United States

If you have further questions about whether your federal contract qualifies under the E-Verify federal contractor rule, check with your government contracting official.


USFS has taken the position on fire IBPA's that the individual order must be over $150,000.  If you get that order under a federal agreements you have to follow the timeline below:

• You must enroll in E Verify within 30 days of the award.
• Enter all your folks within 180 days from the award.
