CS6600 - MISSION PARTNER IDENTITY CREDENTIAL AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT

(a) The contract company is responsible for providing the appropriate documentation to the government to process applications for Common Access Card (CAC) for every contractor employee who deploys with the military force, who has need to access any government computer network in accordance with FAR 52.204-9, "Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel", requires physical access to multiple DoD facilities or access to multiple non- DoD facilities on behalf of the sponsoring government organization for a period of 6-months or more, requires both physical and logical (network logon) access to both DoD networks on site or remotely, OR requires logical (network logon) access to DoD networks on site or remotely.

(b) The contractor is responsible for managing requests for initial, renewal and reverification of a CAC in sufficient time to ensure all contractor employees have them as needed to perform the work under this contract. The norm is at least fifteen (15) business days advance notice to the Mission Partner Affiliation Sponsor (MPAS), unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer.

*The COR should be the MPAS for the contract.

(c) It is recommended that a "Corporate" Facility Security Officer (FSO) or other facility appointed person be assigned as the firm's single point of contact (POC) for CAC Application/New Contractor Packet processing to G2 and Government COR. If an FSO is not established, each contractor employee requiring a CAC will be required to manage their own application.

(d) A CAC application must be processed through Mission Partner Identity, Credential and Access Management (MP-ICAM). The contractor's FSO or appointed POC employee shall submit CAC requests via secure means such as DoD SAFE, encrypted email, password protected documents etc. to the COR. The COR will provide the request package to the command G2 to be processed. The COR will provide the AHRC TASS Form1, version 1.3 to the MPAS once the CAC Application is approved. The list of required documents to complete the request package for an INITIAL CAC:

G-2 Contractor PSI Worksheet Emp Hist Worksheet

OF 306, Declaration for Federal Employment (August 2023 version)

Copy of birth certificate or passport or naturalization certificate (if foreign born)

AHRC TASS Form V1.3 dated 1 May 2021

(e) The government MPAS will establish an MP-ICAM application account for each CAC request. MP-ICAM will generate emails to the applicant with the application number and password. The contractor employee shall access the MP-ICAM site and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at MP ICAM - Mission Partner Registration Web Application - DMDC (osd.mil).

(f) The contractor employee will submit completed applications in MP-ICAM. MP-ICAM will confirm via email that the MPAS application has been submitted.

(g) The MPAS will process the request and MP-ICAM 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 the CAC. The contractor proceeds to a Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) station. (Visit https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/ to locate a RAPIDS station)

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

- Returned*. Additional information or correction by the application is required from 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. A CAC requires re-verification every 180 days. The MPAS will be notified via MP-ICAM generated email when the reverification date is approaching.

The contract FSO will provide the electronically signed AHRC TASS Form 2.1 to the MPAS. The MPAS will re-verify the employee in MP-ICAM.

(i) An issued CAC shall be for a period of performance no 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, MP-ICAM will notify

W911PT26QA079

https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/ https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/ both the contractor and the MPAS of the expiration date. The FSO or appointed personnel will submit the AHRC TASS Form 1, version 1.3 indicating REISSUE on the form.

(j) The contractor shall return any CACs to the DEERS office upon return from deployment, when issued a new CAC, or when employment is terminated. The FSO or other appointed POC shall provide the electronically signed AHRC TASS Form 2.1 to the MPAS. The MPAS will revoke the contractor's CAC in MP-ICAM.

(k) A CAC cannot be issued without evidence that a T1 investigation has at least been initiated by the Government G2 Security Office. Per DODI 5200.46 Section 3.d: A CAC may be issued on an interim basis based on a favorable National Agency Check and a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Criminal History Check (fingerprint check) adjudicated by appropriate approving authority, and successful submission to the investigative service provider (ISP) of a T1 or a personnel security investigation (PSI) equal to or greater in scope than a T1. 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 the 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 as long as the contract does NOT require the contractor to have access to classified information.

Once the T1 investigation is open in Defense Information Security System (DISS), (between 2-4 weeks) an interim CAC eligibility is either granted or denied and an email will go out to the Supervisor, FSO, Sponsor, COR, MPASM and MPAS advising eligibility.

CS7520 - ACCESS AND GENERAL PROTECTION/SECURITY POLICY AND PROCEDURES

a. The contractor and all associated subcontractors' employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility, and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the Government representative).

The contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9 "Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel") as directed by DoD, HQDA, and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

b. For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC). Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1/T1 (formerly referred to as a National Agency Check with Inquiries/NACI) 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 non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of six (6) months or more. An initial CAC may be issued on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled T1 by the Centralized Suitability Service Center (CSSC).

c. For contractors that do not require CAC but require access to a DoD facility or installation. Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with adjudication standards, and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation /facility access and local security policies and procedures elsewhere in Section C titled as paragraph - Access to the Detroit Arsenal; Identifying Contractor Employees; Non-disclosure Statement; for OCONUS locations, refer to the Status of Forces Agreement and other theater regulations.
