The solicitation documents are posted as a sensitive/secure package on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website in conjunction with this notice. Although a summary of significant changes since release of draft solicitation revision 2 is included in the package, please review the solicitation in its entirety. The final solicitation takes precedence over all previous draft solicitations and responses to draft solicitation questions.

1.2 Secure Package Access Instructions

Sensitive/secure IRES packages may contain For Official Use Only (FOUO) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI); therefore they are also loaded to the FBO website as export controlled documents.

Only authorized vendors may access export controlled documents in FBO. Export controlled access level requires that the vendor’s marketing partner information number (MPIN) be certified by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Logistics Information Service’s (DLIS) Joint Certification Program (JCP). FBO receives a daily feed of authorized vendors, which determines access based on a vendor’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code/MPIN. MPINs are selected/assigned when a vendor registers in the System for Award Management (SAM) at http://www.sam.gov.

Reference the FBO Vendor Guide and/or demonstration video entitled “Advanced Functionality: Search Agents, Watchlists and Export Controlled Documents” available on the FBO homepage for more information regarding access to export controlled documents. Additional information regarding application for the JCP certification is available at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Logistics Information Service (DLIS) JCP homepage at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/. If you are still not able to access the export controlled FBO document 24 or more hours after receipt of the JCP certification, suggest you contact the Federal Service Desk (FSD) at https://www.fsd.gov/fsd-gov/home.do or 866-606- 8220 and ask for assistance to have your JCP certification inserted into your SAM account so that you can view export controlled documents posted to the FBO website.

Disclosure, copying, dissemination, distribution, and destruction of the material shall be in accordance with the FBO Terms and Conditions individuals must agree to prior to viewing the attachments.
