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. In accordance with NSWC Crane Policy Letter 14-02 dated 20 March 2014, 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 . This policy prohibits all personal electronic devices other than personal cell phones. For the purpose of this policy, “spaces” include outdoor ranges and test areas.

NSWC Crane areas will be clearly marked. Prohibited devices include: MP3 players, e-readers, digital recording devices, laptop and tablet computers, and/or other electronic devices not provided by the government or specifically authorized. One-way pagers are allowed for fire, safety and security purposes. These devices can be used in non-NSWC Crane areas.

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.
