Do commissary/exchange employees receive a CAC (or other form of DOD ID)?

My spouse just got a job at the local exchange and both of us were wondering if they would receive a DOD ID or CAC Card. Did research online to try and find an answer but was unable to come up with anything concrete. Thank you for the insight.

Pretty straight forward. Non Appropriated DoD civilian employee. It's part of the check-in process.

I expect commissary employees that are civil service employees would have a CAC. Almost all Exchange employees are Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) employees, which is different from regular civil service. I'm not sure if they have CAC, but should have a photo ID of some type just to get onto the installation.
