Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.4.5.1 For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC): The CAC is the DoD Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple nonDoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation at the Office of Personnel Management.

Sponsorship and enrollment information about each applicant must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) through either the Real-Time Automated Personnel ID System (RAPIDS) using the DD Form 1172-2 or the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS).

1.4.5.1.1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 Background Investigation Requirements: The contractor shall ensure that all contractor and subcontractor personnel whose duties require CAC card issuance obtain them and shall process all CAC card applications. The contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at Attachment “TBD” at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward it to the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm that the investigative service provider has received the request, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the background investigation (BI) will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure immediate compliance with all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system. The contractor is cautioned that the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from two to six weeks and shall factor this lead-time into its hiring/placement process. The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.

1.4.5.1.2 Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS): The contractor shall process CAC applications through the TASS, the procedures for which are described below.

Although there is no requirement for the contractor to designate a “Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) to serve as its single point of contact for the BI, the TASS application process and other CAC and security-related matters, such designation facilitates these processes. If a Corporate FSO is not established, all contractor employees requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications. The submission process for CAC applications is as follows:

1. The contractor's FSO or contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the designated TASS Trusted Agent (TA). The TASS TA for this requirement will be: 1LT Hunter Morgan Thelen, (517) 513-4699, Huntermorgan.d.thelen.mil@army.mil.

2. The Government will establish a TASS application account for each CAC Request and will provide each contractor employee a user ID and password, via email, to the contractor’s FSO or contractor employee. The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at: https://tass.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/. The contractor’s FSO or contractor employee shall follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

3. The Government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:

a. Approval.* Upon approval, the information is transferred to the DEERS database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a RAPIDS station (RAPIDS Site Locator:

http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/).

b. Rejection.* The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

c. Return. Additional information or correction to the application required by the contractor employee.

*The contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.

1.4.5.1.3 Contractor personnel shall obtain a CAC from the nearest Real Time Automated Personnel Identification Documentation System (RAPIDS) Issuing Facility (Bldg 30 JFHQ Compound, Lansing, MI). At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor employee by Social Security Number (SSN) and two forms of identification. Identity source documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification". Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I-9 list shall be a valid (unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture ID.

The Identity documents will be inspected for authenticity and scanned and stored in the DEERS upon issuance of an ID. The photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS, and will then issue a CAC. Issued CACs will be valid for no longer than three years, or until the individual's contract end date (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.

1.4.5.1.4 The contractor shall manage requests for new or renewal CAC cards in sufficient time to ensure that all contractor employees have them when needed to perform work under this contract. The contractor shall provide at least 10 calendar days advance notice to the TA, unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the COR or KO.

1.4.5.1.5 The contractor shall return issued CACs to the DEERS office upon departure or dismissal of each contractor employee, and shall obtain a receipt for each card and provide it to the TA/COR.

1.4.5.1.5.1 Failure to comply with these requirements may result in withholding of final payment.

1.4.5.1.6 The contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a Government computer network. Note: If employees of a contractor lose the privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore, it is critical that contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.
