I’m a contractor. Approximately 6 months ago I had my TS/SCI FSP revoked by the granting intel agency, was subsequently removed from the contract, and am no longer employed by that govt contractor. I have the SOR and am currently challenging the revocation as I did not violate any US government policy or regulation. I have responded to the SOR but have yet to have my in-person hearing. I still have an active TS/SCI CI from a DoD entity currently being held by a previous employer (govt contractor).
I was just offered a DIA contract position, by a completely separate govt contractor, only requiring the TS/SCI CI clearance. This morning I was given an SF86C to complete. Even though the position only requires a TS/SCI CI, I’m terrified the contracting company will simply walk away from me or even DIA will turn me down because of the revocation.
How do I appropriately comment/document my revocation in the SF86C to give me the best chance of securing this contract job? Do I give them my SOR and my response to it along with the SF86C? Do I give them the letters of recommendation I used with my SOR response? Do I simply state it’s currently being challenged? Something else?
There is a good probability that your DOD clearance status is suspended based on the revocation, as the Scattered Castles and DISS systems do exchange information on investigations and clearance statuses. Do not share the SOR, that is information between you and the issuing agency. You should indicate your were issued an SOR, which agency it was, and that you have submitted your response and are awaiting a decision as to whether the issues are mitigated. I assume the revocation was a result of something that came out during the FSP. Most likely they will not move forward until the clearance issue is resolved, but maybe they can see the poly results and make a determination based on that.
Thank you much for the reply and for the information. Your info on what to use and not to use on the SF86C was most helpful. My DoD clearance has not been suspended, per my FSO at my former company holding the clearance, it is still active. And no, the FSP was not revoked during something that came out in the FSP. The SOR stated I violated Guidelines E and M after favorable adjudication while working a contract position using the FSP level clearance. I didn’t violate those guidelines which is of course one of the reasons I am fighting it.
If your clearance was revoked 6 months, then you have another 6 months until you can be granted another clearance. DIA would not find you suitable for the position and your contracting company would rescind the offer. At best, you might be able to get public trust because pubic trust is more suitability and does not use the SEAD 4 guidelines.
Thank you for your reply. I think you miss understood the details in my original post. The clearance that was revoked (FSP) is a completely separate clearance than the one required (CI) for the contract position for which I recently received an offer. The CI is still active and being held by a previous employer.
As for the SOR for the revoked FSP clearance, it was for Guidelines E and M but I have the investigative file and neither were substantiated.
DIA would see the revocation and would not find you suitable meaning that they will not approve to work on a contract with them. Even if your clearance is separate from your CI. Since your FSP clearance is the most recently adjudicated clearance, that is the one DIA is going to use.
Depending on who holds the clearance, your CI clearance would be placed in a loss of jurisdiction status if it was Stored in DISS, which makes unusable.
