No. The investigative requirements set forth in FIPS 201 state: “The process shall begin with initiation of a National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or other Office of Personnel Management (OPM) or National Security community investigation required for Federal employment” A SAC investigation will not meet the requirements of FIPS 201.
