BASE ACCESS

1.0 CONTRACTOR ACCESS TO MARINE CORPS INSTALLATION CHERRY POINT, NC

1.1 Performance of this requirement requires access to Marine Corp Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point. Contractor personnel shall follow all procedures for access to the Air Station in accordance with Air Station Order (ASO) 5560.6A, available at:

http://www.cherrypoint.marines.mil/Portals/86/Docs/Cherrypointorders/5560.6A.pdf?ver=2016-03-29-110019-410

1.2 Marine Corps Installations transition to new access control system Marine Corps Installations across the region are transitioning to a new government-owned access control system called Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS). This new and enhanced system will replace RAPIDGate and MCESS for contractors and other non-DoD-affiliated personnel requiring installation access. DBIDS is already installed at more than 320 sites with over 5 million registered personnel and unlike previous systems, this one is a free service.

Current RAPIDGate or MCESS credentials can easily be switched out for a DBIDS credential and new contractors can apply for a DBIDS credential using the same vetting requirements as previously required. RAPIDGate/MCESS credentials will be honored until December 31, 2018. After this date, all contractors will be required to have a DBIDS credential in order to access MCAS Cherry Point. In order to reduce wait time when exchanging your RAPIDGate/MCESS credential, it is highly recommended each applicant pre-register at https://dbids-global.dmdc.mil/enroll#!/.

Beginning May 7, 2025, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point will enforce the REAL ID Act, which requires visitors and non-permanent party personnel to have a REAL ID compliant driver’s license or identification card to enter the installation. The requirement will largely affect visitors over the age of 18 that include delivery drivers, third-party contracted workers, and public and private guests trying to enter the installation.

Here’s what you need to know:

CURRENT DOD ID CARD HOLDERS

If you currently hold a valid Common Access Card (CAC), dependent ID card, reserve ID card, or retiree ID card, issued by the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), no further action is required.

You will be automatically enrolled in DBIDS when your ID card is initially scanned at the gate. Expect a one-time delay of 3-6 seconds as the DBIDS system initially registers your information.

CURRENT CONTRACTORS

DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning September 24, 2018 DBIDS credentials will be valid for the duration of your contract, not to exceed five years; however, re- vetting of individuals’ information will occur each year.

Contractors can exchange their current RAPIDGate/MCESS credential for a DBIDS credential without re- vetting, however they will be required to bring the following items:

- Current RAPIDGate/MCESS credential

- Second form of government-issued identification (driver license, passport, etc.)

- Company Contract/Letter of Authorization

New DBIDS credentials will be valid for the remainder of the contract (not to exceed 5 years), but individuals will be re-vetted each year.

All contractors (MCAS Cherry Point) will be able to exchange their current RAPIDGate/MCESS credential at the MCAS Cherry Point Contractor Vetting Office, Building 251 (Pass and ID).

NOTE: Flight line access will still be granted at Physical Security using the procedures already in place.

NEW CONTRACTORS

DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning September 24, 2018 New contractors requiring access for over 60 days will receive a credential valid for up to one year.

New contractors requiring access for less than 60 days will receive a temporary paper pass.

REMINDER: Beginning October 1, 2018, all personnel in possession of a RAPIDGate/MCESS credential will also be required to provide a second valid U.S. government form of identification. Beginning September 24, 2018, DBIDS credentials will be issued or exchanged in place of a RAPIDGate/MCESS credential. The last day RAPIDGate/MCESS credentials will be authorized for entry onto the installation is December 31, 2018.

More information on DBIDS can be accessed by current CAC holders at https://dbids.dmdc.mil/#!/resources.

If you have questions regarding the exchange of a current RAPIDGate/MCESS credential for DBIDS or you are a new contractor seeking enrollment into DBIDS, please contact the Contractor Vetting Office at (252) 466- 4685/5921/3066/3461.

• Additional information regarding access to the Air Station is available by phone at 252-466- 5921.

• The MCAS Cherry Point main gate is located off NC State Highway 101, Havelock, NC.

Visitors without proper vehicle identification are required to check-in at the visitor’s center adjacent to the main gate.

• Contractors are required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) consisting of hearing protection, eye protection, and safety shoes. PPE will not be provided by the facility.

Contractor representatives without the appropriate PPE will not be allowed access to the facility.

2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

Contractor personnel shall identify themselves as contractor personnel by introducing themselves or when being introduced. Contractor personnel shall display distinguishing badges or other visible identification for meeting with Government personnel. Contractor personnel shall appropriately identify themselves as contractor employees in telephone conversations and in formal and informal written correspondence.

3.0 WORK PERFORMED ON MARINE CORP INSTALLATIONS

3.1 The worked described herein shall be performed at (SEE PWS) and shall be performed during normal working hours, Monday through Friday 0630 to 1500, unless otherwise requested by the contractor and approved in advance by the Government.

3.2During the course of contract performance the contractor, as a resident of the installation and facility, shall adhere to all rules and regulations in effect at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Contractors are required to comply with all Federal and North Carolina State Environmental, Security, and Safety Compliance requirements along with other command policies.
