Which two centralized database systems support the remaining phases of suitability by communicating and storing investigative records and adjudicative results?

• A. JPAS and DCPDS
• B. e-QIP and JVS
• C. CVS and PIPS
• D. PDT and SII

Answer: (C)

Centralized repositories that keep investigative records and adjudicative results accessible across the entire suitability process are essential for coordinated decisions. CVS and PIPS provide a shared, secure environment where investigative materials and final adjudicative determinations are stored and communicated to all involved parties, enabling consistency, traceability, and efficient reinvestigation when needed. Other systems focus on earlier stages or domain-specific data—for example, collecting questionnaire data, sharing clearance eligibility, or housing personnel records—but they do not function as the integrated storage and communication hub for the remaining suitability phases.
