OTHER INFORMATION.

1. AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM.

(a) If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible Contracting Officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC.

(b) The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO.

(c) The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. Send protests (other than protests to the Contracting Officer) to:

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000

Fax: (256)450-8840

(d) The AMC-level protest procedures are found at: http://www.amc.army.mil/connect/legal-resources/ If Internet access is not available, contact the Contracting Officer or HQ, AMC, to obtain the AMC-Level Protest Procedures.

2. ACCESS TO ARMY INSTALLATIONS – PERSONNEL AND VEHICLES.

The Government recognizes the important roles companies like you play in our day-to-day operations.

That is why USAG-Hawaii is enhancing the current access control solution called the Automated Installation Entry (AIE) Program. This program supports the security requirements while offering a streamlined access procedure for vendors, contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers and service providers.

This program is available to new and existing personnel who require access to USAG-Hawaii and are not authorized to receive a Department of Defense CAC and desire a streamlined entry into the installation.

Sponsorship and participation at each USAG-Hawaii location (e.g., Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Fort Shafter, Tripler Army Medical Center, Pililaau Army Recreation Center and Pohakuloa Training Area) is required.

AIE Credential holders may access the installation through any of the USAG-Hawaii Gates that size allows and will only be subject to random inspections.

Companies that choose not to participate in the AIE Program will have limited access through the Schofield Barracks Lyman gate, Fort Shafter’s Buckner Gate and Tripler Army Medical Center Main Gate. All employees will be required to go through the inspection area and will be subject to the standard access control procedures, security screenings, and/or vehicle inspections.

Key Dates*

Effective 26 December 2021, RAPIDGate badges will no longer be authorized for long term access.

Effective 26 December 2021, the only long-term contractor credential available for access is the AIE Credential. The only other valid pass available for access is a seven (7) day pass.

*Access control changes can occur at any time due to security requirements

Companies that service USAG-Hawaii facilities may initiate enrollment in the AIE Program by contacting the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

If you have questions regarding the AIE Program at USAG-Hawaii, please contact Security Branch Operations, at 808-656-0232.

• AIE Program Enrollment Process for Background Check and Process to obtain AIE Badge

Enroll your company by contacting the COR who will be the Sponsor. The COR will provide the excel spreadsheet for the list of contractor employee information. The following information is required from the contractor: last name, first name, date of birth, status, social security number, company name, and contract number. The COR will complete the Sponsor information and provide the list to the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Access Control Division.

The AIE Program performs background screening and credentialing.

DES will contact the COR (Sponsor) once the background checks have been validated to schedule a time for the contractor employees to go to one of the registration locations and complete the process to obtain the AIE Badge.

Contractor employees should bring an acceptable form of identification (see List A and List B) to the appointment. Upon arrival, a photo will be taken to complete the process. Employees will be issued their AIE Badge, which they will use for access to the installation.
