(CVS.)

1.7.3.5.2 Once the TA has created the CAC application, a temporary login/password will be generated in CVS. The TA will notify each contractor employee when his/her application is created and will securely distribute the login/password to that contractor employee.

Public Trust Positions (SF85P) and submit fingerprint cards (FD- 258) to the

USTRANSCOM KO who will verify each employee and then forward the documents to the

Security Services Center for processing. The questionnaires and fingerprint cards will be forwarded by the Security Services Center personnel to the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM) who will conduct a National Agency Check with written Inquiries

(NACI) background investigation. Before the TA approves the CAC application in CVS, the

TA must verify that a background investigation has either been opened or completed by

OPM or adjudicated by the Air Force Central Adjudication Facility (AFCAF), as shown in the Defense Information Security System (DISS).

1.7.3.5.4 If contractor employees will require access to classified information, the contractor’s company Facility Security Officer (FSO) processes the Questionnaire for

National Security Positions (SF86) and the fingerprint cards (FD-258) and submits them directly to the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO). Before the TA approves the CAC application in CVS, the TA must verify that a background investigation has been either opened or completed by OPM, or adjudicated by DISCO, as shown in

DISS.

Security Services Center, or to a designated USTRANSCOM representative {S.007}.

1.7.3.6.4 Within seven (7) working days following completion/termination of the contract, return all CACs issued to contractor employees to the TA, the

USTRANSCOM Security Services Center, or to a designated

USTRANSCOM representative.

Activity Manager. The Contractor’s replacement of the employee with the unfavorable background check shall be within a timeframe provided by the Requiring Activity Manager. The

Contractor shall also replace employees whose background check, during their tenure of employment, renders them with an unfavorable local or stateside background check, as determined by the Requiring Activity Manager. The Contractor shall forward a copy to the

Contracting Officer via the COR and the Requiring Activity Manager of each favorable background check within five (5) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor, identifying such with the appropriate contract number {S.008}. The Contractor shall forward a copy to the

Contracting Officer via the COR and the Requiring Activity Manager of each unfavorable background check within five (5) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor, identifying such with the appropriate contract number {S.008}. When the Government awards a non-personal services contract directly to an individual, the failure of the individual to provide a favorable background check would be grounds for termination.
