2.0 Requirements

2.1 The Contractor shall pick-up soiled coveralls at each location once per week and have them laundered as specified.

2.3 The contractor shall complete the laundering services and return the coveralls back to the location within seven (7) days.

2.5 The coveralls shall be delivered to the specified location. The deliveries shall be of an equal quantity and size as that of the soiled pick up, a one for one exchange in size and quantity.

2.6 The coveralls will be inventoried at the delivery point at the time of pick-up and delivery by an authorized government representative and the contractor’s representative. The contractor shall bear the responsibility of replacing any coveralls that are lost or damaged while in contractor possession. The contractor will also inform the FRC point of contact of any damage or missing coveralls on a monthly basis.

2.7 The contractor shall bill, and the government will pay, only for the actual number of coveralls picked up and laundered per week. The contractor shall bill at least monthly, but no more frequently than weekly.

2.8 The Contractor shall provide pre-printed tickets for the verification and signature of items picked up and delivered. Signature spots shall be on this form for both the Government Site Representative and Contractor Representative. All other areas of the format can be in accordance with industry standards.

CONTRACTOR ACCESS

1.0 CONTRACTOR ACCESS TO MARINE CORPS INSTALLATION AND THE FLEET READINESS CENTER EAST

1.1 Performance of this requirement requires access to Marine Corp Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point and the Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) East. Contractor personnel shall follow all procedures for access to the Air Station in accordance with Air Station Order (ASO) 5560.6A, available at: http://www.cherrypoint.marines.mil/Portals/86/Docs/Cherrypointorders/5560.6A.pdf?ver=2016-03-29-110019-410 and FRC East Instruction 5000.1B, Enclosure 1, available at: http://www.navair.navy.mil/frce/sites/g/files/jejdrs421/files/2018-11/5000.1B%20JUNE%202017%20enc1.pdf Separate access requests are required for Base Access and FRC East access. Please note, due to the Real ID Act, some state driver’s licenses will not be accepted without a second form of identification, like a passport.

1.2 Marine Corps Installations transition to new access control system 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 will replace 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 December 31, 2018. 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://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

· DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning September 24, 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 (MCAS Cherry Point) will be able to exchange their current RAPIDGate/MCESS credential at the MCAS Cherry Point Contractor Vetting Office, Building 251 (Pass and ID).

NOTE: Flight line access will still be granted at Physical Security using the procedures already in place.

NEW CONTRACTORS

· DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning September 24, 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 October 1, 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 September 24, 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 December 31, 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 (252) 466- 4685/5921/3066/3461.
