1.0 Introduction

The Mission Partner Identity Credential and Access Management (MP-ICAM) application allows for the sponsorship and management of Department of Defense (DoD) and non-DoD credentials for DoD physical and/or logical access for DoD’s Mission Partners. Mission Partners are described as other federal agencies and Industry partners who have an affiliation with the DoD. MP-ICAM replaces the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) functionality for the DoD credential sponsorship lifecycle. MP-ICAM allows these types of Applicants to apply and be sponsored for a DoD credential:

• DoD Contractor

• Foreign Affiliate (Military, Civilian or Contractor)

• Presidential Appointee

• Non-Federal Agency Civilian or Contractor

• Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) Hire

• Other Government Agency Civilian or Contractor

The Facility Security Officer (FSO) or Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will be required to accurately complete and securely submit the CAC Application spreadsheet [DMDC_MP ICAM_ApplicationFor CAC_New.xls] to the DHA MP-ICAM Mailbox (dha.ncr.security.mbx.personnel-security-tass@health.mil) for processing. If a copy of the blank spreadsheet is needed, the FSO or COR can request it from the Mission Partner Affiliation Sponsor (MPAS) at the address above.

• After approving the individual applications, the Applicant will receive an email with instructions to obtain his or her CAC.

• The Applicant must report to the nearest Real Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) Issuing Facility within 89 days or the MP-ICAM Application Process will need to be reinitiated.

2.0 About the Application for CAC Sponsorship

• The CAC Application is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that consists of 28 possible data entry fields per Applicant.

• When completing the spreadsheet, do NOT attempt to edit the first or second rows of the spreadsheet.

• The FSO or COR is responsible for entering the Applicant(s) data in the correct format as outlined in this Handbook. If the CAC Application is incorrectly completed, the spreadsheet will be returned to the FSO or COR for corrective action.

3.0 Submitting the CAC Application for Processing

• Prior to completing the Excel spreadsheet, the FSO will ensure the Applicant(s) has an initiated or current investigation with his or her respective DHA National Background Investigation Services (NBIS) Point of Contact (POC).

Version 3.0 Page 5 of 8 July 2024

• Once the DHA NBIS POC verifies the status of the investigation and takes ownership of the Applicant(s) in Defense Information System for Security (DISS), the DHA NBIS POC will notify the FSO that the Applicant(s) can be submitted for a CAC.

• The FSO will then complete the Excel spreadsheet with the Applicant(s) data and send it to the DHA MP-ICAM Mailbox (dha.ncr.security.mbx.personnel-security-tass@health.mil) for processing.

• Applicant(s) will be notified only after the MPAS approves or denies their applications.
