BASE ACCESS

BASE ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS

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 l replaces 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 September 30, 2018. After this date, all contractors will be required to have a

DBIDS credential in order to access MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River. 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#!/.

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

Beginning June 5, 2018, RAPIDGate/MCESS card holders will be required to present a second form of government-issued identification to the gate sentry, along with the RAPIDGate/MCESS credential, in order to access MCB

Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River.

DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning June 25, 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 (MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River) will be able to exchange their current

RAPIDGate/MCESS credential at the Camp Lejeune Contractor Vetting Office, Building TT-13, next to the Wilson

Gate. NOTE: If a contractor requires flight line access, they must exchange their credential at Building AS-187 next to MCAS New River’s Main Gate entrance. Only contractors needing flight line access will be serviced at AS-187.

Flight line access will still be granted at AS-302 using the procedures already in place.

NEW CONTRACTORS

DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning June 25, 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 June 5, 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 June 25, 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 September 30, 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 910-451-

0283/0284/0285.

Qualifications)

The vendor's initial quote should contain the vendor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the

Government reserves the right to have discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting

Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest;

accept other than the lowest quotation; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received.

(2) Past Performance - The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the degree of confidence the

Government has in The vendor's ability to provide this service that meet the solicitation requirements based on the vendor's demonstrated record of performance. For this volume, the vendor shall identify relevant contracts, or those portions of a relevant contract, whose performance is within three years of the proposal due date and contains efforts similar to those efforts (e.g., service, type effort, contract tasks, contract type, contract dollar value, etc.), required by this solicitation. Offerors shall also identify relevant contracts within the past three years that had any show-cause notices, cure notices, corrective action reports or termination for default.

The vendor shall ensure that all points of contacts are current and include an email address and phone number.

Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will receive a neutral rating.

Past performance will also be verified via Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System

(FAPIIS) and via Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)/Past Performance

Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

(3) Price – Price quote for each line item, to include the two (12 month) option periods.

Submission Requirements. Quotes related to this RFQ shall be received by the Contracting Department by the date and time indicated in block 8 on the front page of the solicitation to be considered for award.
