DCSA and the proverbial opening of the floodgates

GDIT never wanted to be in BI industry. They acquired the contract when they bought CSRA. I believe GDIT always planned on dropping the contract.

While the call was bad, it’s an exaggeration that the call ended abruptly when people started asking questions. They announced the call would be 30 minutes, and opened it up for questioning around the 10 minute mark. To avoid hundreds of BIs charging more time to the call, they ended it at 30 minutes and said they’d respond to the remainder of questions via email after the call. Furthermore, a lot of the questions were the same - too much fortune telling the upper management would have to do.

Thanks, @Thequestionsarenorm . (I am not with GDIT, updating the resume just in case.)

You can still contact the security office and ask them what level of clearance you have.

It doesn’t matter if you were with GDIT or not.

Per security at GDIT…the majority of the BI’s did not have any clearance unless they regularly were entering facilities that required them. Most only had the “favorable determination.” I found out the hard way when I was processing with a DOD contractor as they told me I did not have a clearance and was never adjudicated. That is what led me to contact GDIT security.

I had one and working for another agency most of my team have landed jobs for another agency and our clearance are now top secret in jpass

I’m sorry to hear that so what area you were in because some of the buildings like the mark center looks in jpass for you to go in the offices

*favorable determination

My last renewal, for apparently favorable adjudication, was in 10/17.

Midwest. Not near any cleared facilities. Closest thing are some nuclear facilities but those are Q clearance and I never had that clearance although I had to go to one of them over a decade ago while working on a background.

Yeah I was granted by DOD CAF as well. I heard about some not getting even adjudicated :frowning:

It’s just so weird to me that no one knows what’s going on!!

O ok because I was in the dmv ( dc, md, and va) area so maybe that’s it

It was random as even my boss and pretty much everyone else on our team were not adjudicated. In the end like everything else in this field it is all a numbers game. It is what a DOD analyst/accountant says it is and not what you think it should be. They are the experts because their software that crunches numbers tells them it is so. :slightly_smiling_face:

Active Top Secret / SCI clearance eligibility. Don’t ever say T5 or TS access. Access is granted by your agency. Eligibility is granted by DoDCAF. You have TS or TS/SCI active eligibility.

Thank you, @Defender66.

What do you mean when you say that you and people on your team were not adjudicated? Can you clarify on that? At the very least you should have a “favorably adjudicated SSBI” to work as an investigator

That’s very odd but I would be pissed if that was me

You were adjudicated at least by OPM (and others dependent upon the contracts you were working). The NDA deals with access and the clearance – not the adjudication.
