To receive a CAC the applicant shall provide a copy of this PWS, the applicant’s resume (required for Centralized Suitability Service Center (CSSC) to make interim determination), an OF 306 filled out in its entirety, and fingerprints (can be submitted digitally with a recruiter or in the Joint Forces Headquarters G2 Office; use codes SOI: Z256 / SON:.3357 / ALC: 21008711). Once the CSSC grants an interim determination, the JG2 security managers will sign the TASS form to allow the applicant to receive a CAC. Questions can be directed to the G2 group mailbox at MIARNG_JG32_PERSEC@army.mil.

1.4.5.1.2 Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) Process: The contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring a background investigation complete a PSIP form as soon as possible. Once the applicant submits the PSIP request form, the applicant 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 cards to the security manager, the background investigation (BI) will be initiated. The applicant must ensure immediate compliance with all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail, or via a government system.

The contractor should note that the entire process from submitting the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from two to six weeks and shall factor this 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 is liable for delaysThe Government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of determinations made, approval, rejection, or return for corrections or additional information.

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 photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, a 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 ends (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.
