4. VENDOR SURVEY

NSWC Crane Contracting Department’s mission is to provide responsive, best-value contracting and acquisition support for all customers, accomplished in partnership with industry, academia, and other Government activities, while maintaining the public's trust and fulfilling public policy objectives. In an effort to continually improve our services, the Contracting Office is conducting a survey of our vendors.

Please consider taking the time to complete the survey which can be accessed at the following address:

http://www.navsea.navy.mil/nswc/crane/working/contracting/Lists/Vendor%20Survey/overview.aspx.

5. NSWC CRANE VISITOR INFORMATION: PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY

NSWC Crane has implemented full compliance with the NAVSEA Access and Movement Control Instruction 5510.2C, dated 7 August 2012, which restricts the use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) in all NAVSEA spaces. The policy states all government civilian, military and contractor personnel assigned to NSWC Crane and all visitors are prohibited from bringing any device or equipment capable of recording, transmitting or exporting photographic images or audible information of any kind into NSWC Crane spaces when classified information, Unclassified Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (UNNPI) or other Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is exposed, unless specifically authorized by NSWC Crane. CUI may be present in any NSWC Crane space, making these personal devices prohibited throughout NSWC Crane spaces. For the purpose of this policy, “spaces” include outdoor ranges and test areas. These devices can be used in non- NSWC Crane areas and EastGate and WestGate are not currently covered by this policy. NSWC Crane areas will be clearly marked.

This includes, but is not limited to, personal computers, personal portable electronic devices (PEDs), electronic voice recorders and tape recorders. Personal PEDs include cellular telephones (including smartphones), devices like iPods and MP3 players, two-way pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), removable storage devices and handheld tablet/laptop computers. This also includes e-readers (kindles and nooks), as new versions of these devices contain cameras and distinguishing models is not evident by sight alone. One-way pagers are allowed for fire, safety and security purposes.

6. RAPIDGate NSA/NSWC CRANE INSTALLATION ACCESS

NSA/NSWC Crane is implementing the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) projects. The NCACS is the standard identity management and perimeter installation access control solution for the access management of vendors, contractors, suppliers and service providers who are not authorized a Common Access Card (CAC). The rationale for implementation of this system is to increase security while reducing impacts to the contractor community by improving efficiencies for base entry.

A new protocol being implemented to fulfill this NCACS requirement is the RAPIDGate system. The system meets Presidential Directive (HSPD-12) requirements by providing background checks of contractor personnel.

A personal badge that affords base access (and/or multiple base access) for one year will be issued to each Contractor employee that meets background check criteria. While Contractors are not required to participate in this program, those Contractors who choose not to participate will be required to obtain daily passes for base access.

For contracts which include the FAR 52.204-9 Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel or will otherwise require frequent access to the Naval Support Activity (NSA)/NSWC Crane site, contractors should consider taking advantage of the benefits available from the RAPIDGate program. A Government Sponsor is required to validate a Contractor’s request for RAPIDGate access, and shall be the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). If there is no COR, then the Government Sponsor is the Contracting Officer.

The Government does not guarantee the contractor’s successful enrollment or the successful enrollment of any contractor employees in the RAPIDGate program. Significant delays may result from choosing to access the installation by obtaining a one day pass. The Government will not be held responsible for any access delays associated with using the daily pass process. Please address any questions or concerns regarding RAPIDGate to the COR or the local Base Security Office personnel listed below.

NSA/NSWC Crane RAPIDGate Primary Program Point of Contact is Jon Thomas, and can be reached at Jon.M.Thomas@Navy.mil or at 812-854-5642.

Additional information is available at http://www.rapidgate.com/rapidgate

HQ B-2-0004 EXPEDITING CONTRACT CLOSEOUT (NAVSEA) (DEC 1995)

(a) As part of the negotiated fixed price or total estimated amount of this contract, both the Government and the Contractor have agreed to waive any entitlement that otherwise might accrue to either party in any residual dollar amount of $500 or less at the time of final contract closeout. The term "residual dollar amount" shall include all money that would otherwise be owed to either party at the end of the contract, except that, amounts connected in any way with taxation, allegations of fraud and/or antitrust violations shall be excluded. For purposes of determining residual dollar amounts, offsets of money owed by one party against money that would otherwise be paid by that party may be considered to the extent permitted by law.

(b) This agreement to waive entitlement to residual dollar amounts has been considered by both parties. It is agreed that the administrative costs for either party associated with collecting such small dollar amounts could exceed the amount to be recovered.

52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY (JUN 1997)

(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

Within Days 60

After Date Date of Contract

Item No. Quantity of Contract CLINs 0001-0032

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

OFFEROR'S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

Within Days

After Date

Item No. Quantity of Contract

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

(End of clause)

(a) The Offeror shall identify, in the "Place of Performance" provision of this solicitation, the place of performance of all ammunition and explosives work covered by the Safety Precautions for Ammunition and Explosives clause of this solicitation. Failure to furnish this information with the offer may result in rejection of the offer.

(b) The Offeror agrees not to change the place of performance of any portion of the offer covered by the Safety Precautions for Ammunition and Explosives clause contained in this solicitation after the date set for receipt of offers without the written approval of the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer shall grant approval only if there is enough time for the Government to perform the necessary safety reviews on the new proposed place of performance.

(c) If a contract results from this offer, the Contractor agrees not to change any place of performance previously cited without the advance written approval of the Contracting Officer.

For other than firm fixed price subcontractors, subcontractors are also required to provide labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of ODCs, materials, and travel invoiced. Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal.
