USAccess Blue Top Interact Site

To meet NIST, OMB and GSA OGP deadlines in ensuring agencies have the approved PIV card, the MSO will be establishing an opt-in deadline. This deadline will be shared soon with all Agencies that have not transitioned or opted-in to use V8.1 PIV cards. Agencies can now opt-in to use both Idemia V7 and V8.1 PIV card types using the USAccess Card Profile Type Opt-In Form. Agencies should reference the maintenance windows and notification dates below and email the attached USAccess Card Profile Type Opt-In Form to the PIV transition lead: Lalit.Bajaj@gsa.gov by the notification date prior to the maintenance window.

The Opt-In Form will allow Agencies, who have not fully transitioned, with an additional option to further ensure their Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) and Logical Access Control Systems (LACS) can support V8.1 PIV cards. Agencies that have tested their infrastructure and are ready to fully transition to V8.1 PIV cards should email Lalit.Bajaj@gsa.gov to start the process. Additional opt-in details can be found in the USAccess Release 18.0Release Notice posted to the Agency Lead Portal.
