"Your application or sponsorship has been transferred to a MPAS" What does this mean?

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

I am currently waiting on a clearance crossover for a contracting position with the DIA. earlier today I got an email stating:

Your application or sponsorship has been transferred to a MPAS.&nbsp For additional information or any questions, contact your DoD Sponsor directly.

I asked the PM for the job I am waiting to start, He doesn’t know. I wanted to ask what does this mean? Is this a good sign that things are moving forward?

I think MPAS is related to your ID/credentialing and not your clearance. Did you apply for CAC or PIV or to have one transferred?

We don’t have PIV or CAC cards at my current position. The position with DIA does however,

I received a similar message, thought it was spam at first. I followed up with my FSO who said it has to do with my CAC card, no impact on my clearance.
