NCI will provide the contractor with lists showing the pertinent information available for each decreased subject, such as date of death, place of death, as well as other known information (Social Security number, sex, race, date of birth, last known address, occupation, etc.). The offeror must use its DCAMS, assigned personnel, knowledge and experience to perform all of the logistical activities and procedures in order to accomplish the necessary death certificate acquisition tasks requested by the NCI. Rigorous quality control procedures must be followed at all times. The offeror must communicate with VSOs as necessary in order to achieve the objective of each task and must retain a good relationship with all VSOs so that continued cooperation will be assured.
