RAPIDGate/MCESS credentials will be honored until December 31, 20 I 8. 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://dbidsglobal.dmdc.mil/enroll#!/.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.
