a Outside of DOI's recommendations, what measures, if any, are being evaluated to take a more proactive approach to oversight of contractors?

So the more active approach is, again, not only my office of safety and security are doing the checks.

Fire safety department, when they go out into the field, does quality assurance checks on on guards, and I have also the quality assurance and cost control department under my, purview.

They go out and they do unannounced inspections of fire guards and security guards as well and report back to the office of safety and security if they find any deficiencies.
