If the applicant does not have a favorable current/previous security investigation on file, follow the steps below:

1. Sponsor will initiate NBIS/eAPP for subject.
2. Subject will receive an email invite from NBIS.
3. The NBIS/eAPP is reviewed, if no issues – the NBIS/eApp is released to DCSA, if there are issues, the NBIS/eAPP is returned to contractor.
4. When NBIS/eAPP is released to DCSA, the Sponsor/COR/TAS is notified by email. Once the CD591 is received, the Contactor has cleared security (able to start).

We will attached a CD591 to the email. Once the Sponsor/COR/TAS received the CD591, the contractor is able to obtain an CAC. Please look at the TASS CD-591 Training PDF, slides 5,6,7.
