Common Access Card
CAC (Common Access Card) is the DoD smart card used for identification, physical access, and computer network access. The DoD equivalent of the civilian PIV card.
(Common Access Card) is a process concept federal contractors and grant writers run into across solicitations, regulations, and award filings
CAC is a step or workflow in the federal-procurement lifecycle. Knowing where CAC fits in the larger acquisition arc — from market research through award through performance — helps contractors time their engagement, identify the right contracting officials, and avoid showing up too late to influence the requirement. Many proposal failures trace back to misunderstanding when CAC occurs, who owns it, and what artifacts it produces. The related terms above name the adjacent process steps that most commonly precede or follow CAC, and tracking those transitions over time is one of the more reliable ways to build pipeline visibility ahead of formal solicitations.
