• AHRC TASS Form 1, version 1.2

(e) The government TA will establish a TASS application account for each CAC request and will provide each contractor employee a USER ID and Password to the contractor via secure means such as DoD SAFE, encrypted email, password protected documents etc. to the FSO or appointed personnel or contractor. The contractor employee shall access the TASS site, Applicant Login and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at https://tass-pki.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/ .

(f) The contractor employee will “Submit” completed applications in TASS. TASS will inform via email to the TA the application has been “Submitted”.

(g) The TA will process the request, TASS will automatically inform the contractor’s applicant via email of one of the following:

- Approved*. Upon approval, the information is transferred to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) station (https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/ provides RAPIDS locations).

- Rejected*. Government in separate correspondence will provide reason(s) for rejection.

- Returned. Additional information, or correction to the application, required by the contractor employee.

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

(h) At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor by SSN, and two forms of identification, one of which must be a picture ID. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints and picture, and updates to DEERS and will then issue a CAC.

CACs require reverification every 180 days. The TA and contract employee will be notified via TASS generated email when the reverification date is approaching. The contract FSO will provide the electronically signed AHRC TASS Form 2.1 to the TA. The TA will re-verify the employee in TASS.

(i) Issued CACs shall be for a period of performance not longer than three (3) years or the individual’s contract end date (inclusive of any options) whichever is earlier. Prior to the three (3) year expiration, TASS will notify both the contractor and the TA of the expiration date. The FSO or appointed personnel will submit to the TA TASS Form 1, version 1.2 indicating REISSUE on the form.

(j) The contractor shall return CAC’s to the DEERS office upon return from deployment, when issued a new CAC, or when employment is terminated. A receipt for each card must be obtained and provided to the TA/COR. The FSO or other appointed personnel shall provide the electronically signed AHRC TASS Form 2.1 to the TA. The TA will revoke the contractors CAC in TASS.

(k) A CAC cannot be issued without evidence that a T-1 investigation has at least been initiated by the Government, G-2. Per DODI 5200.46 Section 3.d: A CAC may be issued on an interim basis based on a favorable National Agency Check OR a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Criminal History Check (fingerprint check) adjudicated by appropriate approved automated procedures or by a trained security or human resource (HR) specialist, and successful submission to the investigative service provider (ISP) of a NACI or a personnel security investigation (PSI) equal to or greater in scope than a NACI. Once the fingerprints are done and the applicant has submitted the T1 (or other applicable investigation) in PSIP, a CAC can and should be issued to applicant on an interim basis to prevent delay of work and excess cost to the government as a result. If the employee does not have a valid background investigation, the government will initiate the T1. Once the TI investigation is open in Defense Information Security System (DISS), (between 3-4 weeks) an interim CAC eligibility is either granted or denied and an email will go out to the Supervisor, FSO, Sponsor, the COR, TASM and TA advising eligibility.

(l) Details and training on TASS will be provided by the government. Further details to obtain a CAC, contact 866-738-3222 or Army.cacpki.helpdesk@mail.mil.
