Mission-Critical Infrastructure

Workforce Compliance to Keep Contractors Qualified and Moving

Mission-critical infrastructure depends on skilled workers reaching the right site at the right time. DISA helps infrastructure owners reduce redundant screening, simplify contractor compliance, and move qualified workers to site faster across construction, commissioning, maintenance, outages, expansions, and ongoing operations.

From data centers and energy infrastructure to healthcare facilities, transportation networks, and diversified industrial operations, DISA brings workforce screening and compliance together through one consistent program.

KEEP CRITICAL WORK MOVING

Protect Your Schedule from Avoidable Delays

Every day matters across mission-critical infrastructure. When qualified contractors repeat background checks, drug testing, and occupational health screening each time they move between projects or facilities, skilled labor stays outside the gate.

The DISA Contractor Consortium creates one consistent path to site access across general contractors, trade partners, projects, and locations. Workers who already meet your requirements move between participating sites without restarting the full screening process.

Your requirements stay consistent. Contractors manage less paperwork. Your teams gain a clearer view of workforce qualification status.

BUILT FOR DATA CENTER SCALE

One Program Across Contractors, Projects, and Sites

Data center contractors move where skilled labor is needed most. Separate screening programs often require the same worker to repeat requirements when changing general contractors, projects, or facilities.

DISA replaces fragmented contractor programs with one owner-defined consortium standard. Contractors manage less paperwork. Qualified workers move faster between participating sites. Your teams gain a clearer view of who meets your requirements.

You set the requirements. DISA manages the program.

WHY MISSION-CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OWNERS CHOOSE DISA

DISA helps mission-critical infrastructure owners move qualified workers to participating sites faster by reducing unnecessary repeat screening, fragmented contractor programs, and disconnected processes. One owner-defined standard creates greater consistency across general contractors, trade partners, projects, facilities, and locations while reducing administrative work and screening delays. Owners also gain access to a mobile workforce of more than 6 million active workers, with participating contractors funding the consortium program.

» First consortium founded in 1992 » 25,000+ participating companies
» 420+ current owner mandates » 178,600 redundant tests avoided in 2025
» 6+ million active workers » $21.9 million saved by participating contractors in 2025
