b. In order to avoid delays in gaining access to the installation, contractors are encouraged to contact their Contracting Officer Representative (COR) to begin the process of securing long term passes as soon as possible.

2. Individual Temporary Pass: All contractors and sub-contractors who do not possess a CAC, a valid Military ID, or a current long term unescorted pass shall report to the Visitors Control Center located near Sheridan gate to obtain an Individual temporary pass. A temporary pass will ONLY be issued to persons who produce a valid current federal or state issued ID with a picture and passes a NCIC Interstate Identification Index check and local exclusion roster. Acceptable forms of ID are:

a. Valid current REAL ID Act Compliant State issued Photo ID that is for driving or for identification.

b. Valid current Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551)

c. Valid current Employment Authorization Document (Card) that contains a photograph (Form I-766)
